4 bedroom cottage for sale

Situated in wonderful rural surroundings yet only four miles distant from Knutsford town centre, The Old Cottage is a pretty double fronted detached property standing in private landscaped formal gardens which adjoin and overlook open countryside to both the front and rear. Approached from a lovely lane characterised by bespoke country properties and over a gated gravelled sweeping driveway there is also a detached double garage with a useful home office/hobbies room over, ideal for those wishing to work from home or simply as a den.

Over more recent years the cottage has been the subject of a comprehensive program of refurbishment, redesign and sympathetic extension and is now beautifully proportioned and has been professionally interior designed.
LOCATION
Just four miles distance from Knutsford Town Centre is the historical village of Lower Peover which is one of Cheshire's prized locations and whilst situated in delightful countryside it is by no means isolated and light shopping is met by the general store and Post Office and refreshments at the nearby Crown Inn public House and famous Bells of Peover. However, the nearby town centres of Northwich and Knutsford caters for more comprehensive shopping requirements and is a delightful experience amongst the narrow cobbled streets and fascinating Italianate buildings for which the town is famous for. There are delightful country walks to be had on the property's doorstep and around Tatton Park Country Estate in Knutsford. For the sports person there are leisure centres close by along with private sporting clubs including a number of notable golf courses. Excellent education facilities cater for children in all ages in both the state and private sectors with Lower Peover primary school being particularly well regarded. For the commuter there is easy access to the Northwest motorway network at Junctions 18 or 19 of the M6 and Manchester International Airport is also close by. The rail stations at Knutsford, Plumley and Goostrey provide a regular commuter service to Manchester and many commercial centres.
DIRECTIONS
From Knutsford travel south along the Toft Road (A50) in the direction of Holmes Chapel and after passing through Toft turn right signed for Lower Peover (B5081) and proceed towards the village. Upon reaching Smithy Green turn left onto Broom Lane and follow the road onto Free Green Lane.
