Large period cottage on the edge of Great Budworth

Clock Cottage is a beautiful detached period home, situated in a semi-rural location on the edge of the pretty village of Great Budworth. The property, which has undergone a large scheme of extension and re-development, seamlessly combines period features alongside quality contemporary fittings to create a comfortable and stylish modern home with an abundance of charm and character.

Formerly the residence and workshop for respected Cheshire clock maker, Matthew Bushell, the property is believed to date back to the mid-18th century. In 2020, a large extension was added, transforming the previously modest cottage into an impressive 2,900 sq ft home (not including the oak garage), incorporating contemporary luxury features with traditional materials, including beautiful natural stone tiling and a stunning hand carved oak staircase.

The property is accessed via Westage lane onto a wide gravel driveway which provides secure parking for several vehicles, in addition to the large two-story double garage and two bay carport. 

An attractive oak frame storm porch leads into an impressive central reception hallway, which features a stunning sweeping oak staircase and gallery, and light-coloured natural stone tiling which runs throughout and into the kitchen.

Open to the hall is a spacious multi-purpose kitchen / living and dining area with a front facing window enjoying partial open views and oak frame windows and doors leading out to the main courtyard and garden. 

The kitchen has been expertly fitted with hand painted cabinets and contrasting stone worktops, incorporating high quality appliances and a large central island perfect for informal dining. 

Beyond the kitchen there is a generous utility room with ample built in storage. 

Across the hall from the kitchen there are three further reception spaces, including a large double reception room, with a room dividing two-sided fireplace, and a cosy snug or study which enjoys pleasant front facing aspects. 

On the first-floor level a split landing provides access into five bedrooms, most with interesting vaulted ceilings. The largest of the bedrooms benefits from a dressing room, and a stunning contemporary style en-suite shower room. 

There is an en-suite guest room located to the front of the house, boating splendid far-reaching views over farmland towards the peak district.

The largest of the three remaining bedrooms is also en-suite, whilst the others share the use of a superb family bathroom located off the landing, with painted panelling and a quality four-piece suite, incorporating a large shower enclosure and a freestanding contemporary style bath. 

The property sits within beautifully landscaped gardens that extend around three sides of the house, enclosed by hedges and a wealth of mature planting, including several trees.

The garage extends to over 1000 sq ft in all and comprises a large brick built double garage and two bay carport, with a first floor providing excellent space for a workshop or games room.
