Charming Cheshire Cottage Nestled Amongst Nature

Full Address: Birch Cottage, Waste Lane, Cuddington, CW8 2TD

Discover your captivating countryside retreat at Birch Cottage, in the pretty Cheshire village of Cuddington. Nestled within a stone’s throw of woodland walks and with easy access to the towns and cities via the handy local train station, experience the best of both worlds, at Birch Cottage.

Rural refuge
Peacefully nestled along a quiet, private, country lane, plenty of parking for three cars can be found on the driveway, where there is also access to a double garage with up and over doors. Timber gates provide access through to the rear.

Externally lit for those inimitable Cheshire dark-sky winters’ evenings, a screen of greenery to the front, with well stocked borders and trees, precedes the vine-bedecked canopy entrance to Birch Cottage, a former railway cottage, commissioned to high standards by the characterful local signalman.

A warm welcome
Cosy, peaceful and inviting, the part glazed front door shines light through into the entrance hall-study, where solid oak wooden flooring extends underfoot. High skirtings offer a refined finish, featuring throughout the home. A broad and welcoming space, there is ample room for a desk before the large window overlooking the front, ideal for those working from home. Original features harmonise with the modern, neutral décor, with the stone arch of the traditional fireplace retained and an elegant picture rail circling the walls beneath the high ceiling.

Ahead, the open-tread staircase is eye-catching, retaining the flow of light and leading up to the first-floor landing.

Continue ahead into the dining room, a quiet, spacious room interlinking the study and kitchen, with more than ample room for entertaining friends and family.

Wine and dine
Beyond, the breakfasting kitchen features a unique archway, mirroring the design of the fireplace in the study. Quirky and unique, the breakfast area is zoned yet open to the main kitchen, where solid wood cabinetry is timeless. Warmed by a Range-style cooker, views extend over the cottage garden through a window above the Belfast sink.

Tucked off the kitchen, light-filled living awaits in the spacious lounge. Patio doors slide open to provide instant access to the garden during the warm summer months. The inset log burning stove captures visions of warm cosy nights.

Rest and refresh
Take the open tread staircase up to the first-floor landing, where solid wood flooring continues underfoot. Ahead, refreshment can be found in the main bathroom. Tiled to the walls, a large, walk-in shower features alongside a vanity unit wash basin and WC, with ample storage to be found within the louvred cupboard.

From the bathroom, it is not far to travel to the guest bedroom, next door on the right, where more characterful cottage features can be seen in the original chair rail and high ceiling. Leafy views extend from the large window, over the redbrick chimney tops to the surrounding woodland.

OWNER QUOTE: “Birch Cottage gives you a spectacular show of all the changing seasons.”

Blissful views
Along the landing, these picturesque treetop views are amplified in the master bedroom, where windows open to bring the outdoors in. Wake up to a natural alarm clock of birdsong with the woodland at your windowsill. In every room at Birch Cottage, serenity radiates, with calm, restful shades to the walls and neutral, natural tones in the carpet and wooden floors, in perfect harmony with the nature beyond the walls. Abundant storage can be found in the wall of wardrobes on the left as you enter.

From the landing there is also access to a boarded loft, furnished with lighting and power and ripe for conversion to create additional bedrooms.

Furthermore, planning permission has been previously granted to convert the double garage – already an impressive space with its skylights, double glazing, mains electricity and utility room alongside a workshop/studio. With the precedent set and wheels in motion, consider taking the next step and following up these plans, in order to create additional living, or even annex, accommodation.

Oasis of calm
Outside, spend balmy summer days relaxing on the patio, soothed by the serenity of your surroundings. In the quiet of the countryside, nature’s soundtrack plays an endless, ever-changing soundtrack, with so much wildlife to be appreciated.

The lawned garden is ideal for children, with mature planting to the borders. Admire the ever-changing views and recharge your senses in the peace and quiet of this rural refuge.
