Description
The cottage was designed and built for the Sir C.W. Shakerley Bart estate as a shooting lodge circa 1892. The original plan will be given to the purchaser upon completion.
This home is situated in a most sought after location set in 1.31 acres of cottage-style gardens, which are a delight. It has the benefit of being 5 minutes drive from all local amenities and Congleton train station but you feel in the middle of the countryside.
The property has LPG central heating from a boiler which was installed in 2022, and private drainage installed in 2017 and last serviced in February 2024. The dining room has an open fireplace, the lounge has a Clearvision multi fuel burner installed in 2017 and most windows are double glazed.
The accommodation comprises front door to dining room with stairs and access to lounge, fitted kitchen with appliances, garden room, lobby and shower room to the ground floor. At first floor level the landing allows access to two double bedrooms and further large shower room which was formerly a third bedroom.
Externally, there is a stone built shippen with lean-to car port which is very useful, however, subject to planning, it could be converted to make a residential annexe, offices or other use.
As mentioned previously, the grounds are perfect for the purchaser who loves 'pottering in the garden', being mainly laid to lawn but having different areas within, such as patio area, cultivated area with greenhouse, wildflower and shrubs area and pond, etc. With the grounds there are two sheds, one is of a size which could be used as a studio.
This home has not come on the market for over 65 years and it provides a rare opportunity for the purchaser seeking a picturesque cottage which could meet the requirements of a downsizer or a buyer wanting the country life with the option to add value. Therefore viewing highly recommended, and in our view, essential to take in all this home has to offer.
