Property description

Bearing a date stone of 1914, this pretty, detached country cottage, in a semi-rural village location is the kind of thing that a child might paint, complete with roses around the front door!This really is a special property and it has been painstakingly restored by the current owners. It is now offered with the original rustic charm of an old cottage, whilst having been brought into the 21st century with a range of contemporary features. The old and new really do blend well! Not only that, the property occupies a generous plot and the wide side garden that faces Church Lane, at one point had planning consent (now expired), to build a detached dwelling within the curtilage. This of course would be absolutely ideal for those with a dependent relative. For those not wishing to explore this option, it leaves the benefit of a good sized plot (backing onto fields) that is screened by mature hedges for privacy.The extended accommodation includes two spacious reception rooms, the open plan dining room also incorporating a living room area and both rooms have log burning stoves for cosy nights in during the winter months. All sanitary ware is new including the downstairs cloakroom, luxury family bathroom and the en-suite shower room to the spacious master bedroom. The other two bedrooms are both evenly proportioned and the master suite has a Juliette balcony with views over the rear garden/deck area and the fields beyond. There is a farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with solid pine fascia hand crafted units, an enormous free standing range cooker and contemporary wall cupboards. Thoughtful touches include a comprehensive range of ceiling spotlights and Velux roof windows in to the side hall/landing, all of which enhance a light and ambient feel. Outside, in addition to ample off road parking within the gravel driveway, there is an open fronted detached timber double garage. Apart from the large side garden however, the \"piece de resistance\" is the raised timber deck directly to the rear of the cottage with its family orientated gazebo and seating area below.The village is served by its own public house, a village hall, local church and bowling green. It is well placed for access to nearby Whitchurch and speedy road links ensure swift access to major centres including Chester, Shrewsbury, Nantwich, Crewe, Telford, Wolverhampton and Wrexham.
