The Property
Occupying one of the most desirable positions in this part of Cheshire, Cobbles End presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country plot extending to just over an acre, enjoying an exceptional elevated setting with uninterrupted south-facing views across open countryside towards Jodrell Bank and, on clear days, beyond to the Welsh Hills. A further adjoining paddock of just over two acres is available by separate negotiation, offering purchasers the opportunity to create a more significant rural holding.

Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property sits comfortably within mature gardens, where established trees, ornamental planting and broad lawns combine to create a peaceful and private setting. The elevated position is undoubtedly its defining characteristic, with panoramic views extending across the surrounding landscape from both the gardens and the principal rooms of the house.

The existing detached house extends to approximately 2,462 sq ft and offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. While comfortably presented throughout, the real appeal lies in the exceptional site and the flexibility it presents for future owners.

The principal reception room is positioned to take full advantage of the outstanding outlook, where a wide picture window frames the surrounding countryside and glazed doors lead directly into the conservatory. Surrounded by glazing beneath a vaulted roof, the conservatory enjoys uninterrupted views across the gardens and provides an inviting additional reception space throughout the year.

A separate dining room offers an excellent setting for entertaining and sits conveniently alongside the kitchen, which is fitted with solid timber cabinetry, generous work surfaces, a traditional Belfast sink and space for informal dining. A utility room and ground floor shower room provide useful ancillary accommodation, while a well-proportioned double bedroom on the ground floor offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.

The first floor comprises a generous principal bedroom enjoying elevated countryside views, together with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Extensive eaves storage and fitted wardrobes provide practical everyday storage.

Externally
The grounds are what truly distinguish Cobbles End. Extending to just over an acre, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging, specimen trees and established planting creating privacy without compromising the remarkable views. The south-facing aspect ensures sunlight throughout the day, while the elevated position affords one of the finest panoramas in the area, taking in rolling Cheshire countryside, Jodrell Bank and distant views towards the Welsh Hills.

A substantial detached oak-framed garage and workshop sits alongside an extensive gravelled forecourt, providing excellent storage, workshop space and parking.

Beyond the formal gardens, an adjoining paddock extending to just over two acres is available by separate negotiation, presenting an opportunity to create a holding of over three acres in total. Whether retained as grazing land, for equestrian use or simply to preserve the exceptional setting, it represents a valuable addition to an already outstanding property.
