Refurbished cottage on the edge of Great Budworth

A charming country cottage situated in a beautiful rural location on the edge of the picturesque village of Great Budworth, situated amongst open farmland and not over looked at the front or rear, with far reaching views. The house has been recently extended and refurbished throughout, creating a stunning modern home with beautiful gardens befitting its period and location. 

2 Hield House Cottage is a most attractive period semi-detached house located in a delightful position within easy reach of the towns of Knutsford & Northwich and only a 10 minute drive to the M56 motorway network (Junction 10). 

Since the house was last sold in 2018 it has undergone extensive refurbishment, using modern fittings and a wealth of reclaimed materials including exposed hardwood flooring and internal doors and stone windowsills. 

On the ground floor level a generous reception hallway provides access into a downstairs WC, fitted with period style sanitaryware, and a turning flight staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation. 

There are three principal reception areas, including a cosy sitting room located at the front of the house with two front facing windows and a central fireplace with a stone hearth housing a white enamel cast iron stove.

Located between the sitting room and the kitchen is a lovely dining room with an ornamental fireplace and recessed shelving, and glazed doors opening into the magnificent kitchen, with a large glass extension that expands across the rear elevation, providing splendid aspects across the gardens. 

The kitchen is fitted with attractive dove grey ‘shaker style’ cabinets with contrasting wooden worktops, incorporating a peninsula island with breakfast bar seating. There is a large range cooker with a canopy cooker hood and an integrated microwave oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Open to the kitchen is a large versatile reception space with sliding glass doors opening to the garden. 

On the first floor level exposed wood stairs lead up to a central landing providing access into three good sized bedrooms, including two large double bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly generous in size and enjoys magnificent far reaching views to the front over farmland towards the Peak District.

All bedrooms share the use of a beautifully appointed bathroom located off the landing, fitted with a period style suite comprising a roll top clawfoot bath, wall hung wash basin with a vanity storage cupboard and a lower-level WC. There is a fully tiled shower enclosure with a thermostatic mixer shower, including both an overhead soaker and a separate handheld attachment. 

Externally, to the front of the property is a wide gravel driveway fronted by secure five-bar gates, providing parking space for 4 to 5 cars.

The rear garden extends to the side and rear of the house and has been beautifully landscaped, with immaculate lawns enclosed by tall mature hedges and a wealth and variety of planting. A York stone pathway and patio extends around the perimeter of the house, with steps leading up to a stone and gravel path which leads to the rear of the garden, where a superb timber frame summer house sits alongside an ornamental fishpond. There is also a useful garden shed and a greenhouse.
