Property description

SUMMARY The Willows presents a fine opportunity to live a true country life within a beautiful period cottage set within ½ acre of formal private gardens. An internal inspection is the only way to appreciate this property as the character unfolds entering the dining hall where the wealth of character becomes evident. The Inglenook fireplace is a fabulous feature and provides a real focal point within the Living Room whilst the Breakfast Kitchen certainly brings the property alive with lots of natural light beaming in through the mass of windows. At this point the gardens can really be appreciated and accessed through French doors. The gardens are a credit to the owners and consist of a mature orchard, well stocked borders and fenced area where ducks are currently breeding within their natural habitation around a beautiful pond with south facing decked area and summerhouse. cottage set within ½ acre of formal private gardens.

Potential is offered in the neighbouring Barn which did have planning permission to be converted into ancillary accommodation and joined to the main house but would need to be re-submitted for plans to gain this option again.



Noteably this property could easily suit a buyer with horses as stabling is in place and from the yard direct access to 3 acres of grazing land. A substanstial garage and greenhouse with purpose built vegetable garden are included within the sale so you really do have the option of being self sufficient if you desire to live this independent lifestyle.  

LOCATION Moston Green is situated approximately 1.5 miles from the centre of Sandbach where all the daily amenities are readily available to include dentists, doctors, convenience stores, banks and supermarkets. Easy access by road to neighbouring areas such as Congleton, Holmes Chapel and Knutsford where a wider selection of amenities are available. M6 (Junction 17) is the closest connection for the commute to North and South with Crewe (6miles) providing a mainline railway station. Manchester international airport is around a 45-minute drive with scheduled flights regularly travelling to most major cities of the world. 

DIRECTIONS Travelling North on the M6 motorway, turn off at Junction 17 (Sandbach). Bear left off the slip road and through the traffic lights to the roundabout. Continue ahead and follow the road in the direction of Middlewich for approximately 2.5 miles passing the turning for the railway station and take the 2nd left turn into Mill Lane. After crossing over the canal, turn immediately left onto Warmingham Lane and at the junction with Plant Lane, bear left and the property will be easily identified by a Wright Marshall 'For Sale' board.
