Description

Nestled along a tranquil country lane, this semi-detached cottage is set on a generous plot and boasts sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. While the property requires modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and potential expansion, subject to necessary local approvals. This unique setting allows for creative transformation into a spacious family home that can fully embrace its picturesque location. Situated in the rural hamlet of Brown Knowl, this property offers easy access to the nearby village of Tattenhall, where you'll find essential amenities such as a primary school, tennis courts, golf courses, and dining options. The area is renowned for its stunning rural landscape, offering a slice of some of the region's most beautiful scenery. Additionally, recreational sites like Beeston and Peckforton Castles and the Sandstone Trail are just a short drive away. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to major industry and commercial hubs, with well-regarded private schools nearby and Bishop Heber High School in Malpas serving as the local catchment school. Furthermore, Crewe railway station is approximately 25 minutes away by car, providing direct rail services to London, while both Manchester and Liverpool Airports are within a 45-minute drive. Entering the cottage through a part-glazed panel front door leads into an inviting entrance hall that connects to various living areas. A bright living room features a bay window that captures natural light, while an adjacent side extension serves as a dining room. The kitchen provides access to the bathroom outfitted with essential fittings. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms that offer charming views – one looking out over the front garden and another towards the rear – alongside a small study or storeroom which holds potential for conversion into an additional shower room or en-suite. This property benefits from mains water and electricity connections, oil-fired central heating, and compliant private drainage systems. As a freehold residence with substantial renovation possibilities in an attractive location, it stands as an intriguing investment venture for those looking to make their mark in this desirable rural setting.
