Description

A SUBSTANTIAL, THREE BEDROOM PERIOD HOUSE, WITH SCOPE FOR EXTENSION AND IN NEED OF RENOVATION, LARGE SOUTH WEST FACING GARDENS AND PADDOCK LAND. IN ALL ABOUT 1.82 ACRES.

LOT 1 - A FURTHER 1.53 ACRES AVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION

OF INTEREST TO DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS & PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS

Description - Corner Cottage is a delightful, detached house, set in a wonderful rural location, with much scope for renovation/ redevelopment and extension, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. The house has a suite of large light rooms, helped by the south westerly orientation, with a good layout.

The entrance hall leads to the inner hall with door to the front gardens and stairs to the first floor. There is a cloaks cupboard and utility room that are accessed off the inner hall. The two main reception rooms are southwest facing and interconnected by a set of double doors. The sitting room has an open fire and a set of French doors leading to a stone terrace. The dining room is dual aspect and has a deep bay window affording views of the gardens.

To the rear of the reception rooms lies the kitchen which enjoys views to the side and rear. The main bedroom is on the ground floor accessed off the inner hall and is a generously proportioned double with bay window to the side garden. The family bathroom lies next to the bedroom. The first floor has a double bedroom to one side of the stairs and a single to the other.

Gardens & Paddock Land - A hardcore entrance drive leads to the first of two parking areas, with the drive running the entire length of the rear of the house, leading to a larger parking and turning area for numerous cars. The gardens predominantly lie to the front, south westerly elevation and consist of a large expanse of level lawns bounded by mature hedging and specimen trees, affording a high degree of privacy. The gardens wrap around both sides of the house providing many access options. The access to the paddock is off the rear drive, with the paddock land being of old turf, bounded by post and rails and hedging.

Lot 1 adjoins this paddock land and has its own gated entrance off the road, with an access also from the main paddock.

Location - Corner Cottage offers a pretty rural location, with outstanding pastural views. The house has the benefit of a footpath, within walking distance from the house, which leads to lovely rural walks, ideal for the dog walker. There is a pair of semi-detached houses nearby offering a peace of mind and these properties are enveloped by Cholmondeley Estate land.

The rural hamlet of Chorley is surrounded by rolling farmland and is nearby to the serviced village of Wrenbury and the town of Nantwich. Nantwich is a popular medieval town with timber framed buildings and a range of public houses, boutique shops, cafes and train station. Cholmondeley Castle is a short drive away with parkland, beautiful formal gardens, woodland walks, a café, and seasonal events. Cholmondeley has a wonderful farm shop, and the award winning Cholmondeley Arms public house is close by.

Travel connections are excellent, with the nearest train station at Wrenbury, giving access to regional rail services via a connection at Crewe, which facilities an under two-hour commute to London Euston. A commute to Manchester and Liverpool is also easily facilitated by the train network. Road access is also excellent, lying close to the A49 and the A530, providing direct road routes to Nantwich, Crewe, Whitchurch and Tarporley. The M6 motorway, junction 16 is within an easy drive, making the daily commute to nearby conurbations and airports easy.
