Description

This charming detached cottage, believed to date back to the late 19th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable rural setting. Nestled within approximately 0.32 acres of land, the property features a spacious layout comprising three double bedrooms, a living room with original brick fireplace, a generous kitchen/dining area suitable for modern updates, and essential utility space. Although the cottage requires modernization to meet contemporary standards, its classic design and inviting character offer an excellent foundation for those looking to infuse their personal style. The impressive 1,000 square foot garage block stands out as a significant asset. With ample space for vehicles and potential for creative use—whether as additional storage, a workshop, or even a studio—this feature enhances the property's investment potential. Given appropriate planning permissions, there are numerous possibilities to further develop the property according to individual needs. The gardens surrounding the cottage are well-maintained and benefit from a south-western aspect that captures stunning views over the rolling Cheshire countryside towards Beeston, Peckforton, and even the distant Welsh hills. This outdoor space is not only appealing but also provides opportunities for gardening enthusiasts or prospective buyers looking to expand their landscape vision. Situated in the quaint hamlet of Huxley, this location combines tranquility with convenience. Within four miles lie the vibrant villages of Tarporley and Tattenhall, known for their strong community spirit and diverse amenities including shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. The educational institutions in the area are highly regarded, making it an attractive option for families. Further enhancing its appeal is Huxley’s proximity to major transport links; Chester is just nine miles away while Crewe railway station offers direct connections to London Euston in around 90 minutes. Notably, local dining options include The Inn at Huxley—a popular eatery within walking distance. Overall, this period cottage represents not only a home ready for transformation but also an investment opportunity in one of Cheshire's most picturesque regions.
