Dalefords Cottage, Dalefords Lane, Sandiway CW8 2BT

In the quiet and picturesque rural village of Sandiway discover a sublime home in a serene and sought-after setting, at Dalefords Cottage.

Nestled along a peaceful, private road, electric gates open to the driveway of Dalefords Cottage, where there is ample parking alongside a detached double garage with EVC point.

Sought-after setting
A wrought iron pedestrian gate provides access to the home also, where a Tudor-style portico offers shelter above the sage green double door entrance with its stained-glass.

Step inside and sense the warm embrace of Dalefords Cottage instantly; a home where grandeur meets comfort. Wide, wooden plank flooring extends underfoot in the entrance hall, with a handy cloakroom to the right with cupboard space for coats, in addition to a wash basin and WC.

Light floods into the living room on the left, with sash windows framing views out over the garden. Sink back into an armchair on a winter’s evening and feel the glow from the log-burning stove, inset within an exposed redbrick hearth and framed in smooth timber beams.

Light-filled living
Beyond the living room, formality and finesse combine in the dining room, where a tall sash window provides leafy views out over the substantially sized garden, alongside a second window to another side. Occupying the same, robust, chimney breast as the living room, a second log-burning stove emanates warmth and welcome on the opposite side in the dining room, creating the perfect ambience for entertaining.

Returning to the entrance hall, discover a second, formal sitting room, where a wide bay window with French doors blurs the boundary between the outdoors and indoors, presenting lush green views out over the garden. Dressed in muted, neutral shades, each room at Dalefords Cottage embraces calm.

Feast your eyes
Earth-toned tiles extend underfoot in the family kitchen, found to the right of the central entrance hall. Plenty of storage can be found within the beautifully crafted, Shaker-style cabinetry, with contrasting black granite worktops offering ample preparation space. Light streams in through the large sash window above the deep Belfast sink. The central island adds a sociable element to the room, whilst providing additional preparation space. Cook up a feast for family and friends on the five-burner Range cooker, with four-door oven, nestled within a white tiled inglenook. Tucked off the kitchen is a utility room with plumbing for washer and dryer, offering access out on to the patio beyond.

Enjoy croissants and coffee in the breakfast room, opening up from the kitchen, where grand windows draw in light, and French doors offer an instant escape to the sunny garden terrace, for alfresco breakfast, brunch and barbecues.

Soak & sleep
From the entrance hall, ascend the carpeted stairs to arrive at the first-floor landing, where chandelier lighting spills down from above. Tiled underfoot, this large landing also serves as a dressing room, with mirrored wardrobes and a built-in dressing table.

On the left, the lavishly sized bathroom awaits. Tiled in grey underfoot and to the walls, light streams in through the large sash window, whilst sunken spotlighting showcases the freestanding slipper bath with waterfall tap. There is also a WC, vanity unit wash basin and walk-in, wet-room shower.

Returning to the landing, on the left discover the fourth bedroom. Carpeted in shimmering grey, with neutral décor to the walls, this double bedroom overlooks the garden.

Turning left out of this bedroom, bedroom three offers views out to the garden through windows to two sides. Dressed in deep blue, with grey carpet underfoot, this room is a soothing, serene space.

Next door, the master bedroom is bountifully sized; a large room carpeted in grey and with ample space for a super-king-size bed and with extensive garden views through windows to two sides. Fitted wardrobes provide plenty of storage.

Across the landing, there is also a shower room, with walk-in, wet-room shower, wash basin and WC.

Coming out of this shower room, bedroom two can be found on the right, dressed in muted shades of grey and swimming in light and storage courtesy of the large sash window and fitted wardrobes.

Garden delights
Patios, easily accessed from many of the downstairs rooms, offer the opportunity to soak up the sunshine throughout the summer months, with plumbing and provision for a hot tub looking down over the landscaped lawns and borders.

Paved pathways meander through the lawns and shrubbery, with mature trees providing shelter and shade and so much privacy.

Safe and secure for children and canine companions, a handsome brick wall screens the home from passers-by along the prestigious Dalefords Road.

Currently used as a gym, the garage offers vast potential for development, with wooden stairs leading up to a first floor currently used for storage, but which could potentially serve as a home office.
