WHAT MAKES WHITE COTTAGE SO SPECIAL? This unique home you will find very hard to beat - a distinct period Cottage, the largest within this row of only three individual homes, boasting approx. 1/3 acre of landscaped gardens and set in open countryside on the edge of this highly-sought-after village. White Cottage is a rare offering to the market in so many ways and only a personal viewing can demonstrate the wealth of character and features that makes this a truly stand-out home.

White Cottage has such immediate kerb appeal! The white render, the slate tiled roof, the Georgian Bar double-glazed windows and the attractive storm porch all combine to create a fine-looking country home that can be enjoyed from your beautifully landscaped garden.

The accommodation starts with the living room which features exposed timber beams and an Oak floor that brings a warmth to this lovely and cosy living space. The Inglenook fireplace looks fantastic and with the wood burning stove makes this room the place to be. The living room also enjoys a pleasing outlook over the landscaped garden.

From the living room comes the hall where turning stairs run past a feature stained-glass window before arriving on the landing. Timber doors lead to the other downstairs rooms with a set of steps also leading down to the practical understairs storage cupboard.

The second reception room, that could be used as either a sitting room or a formal dining room, also enjoys a garden outlook. It is a similar size to the living room with matching exposed timber beams and a second wood-burning stove, this time set in a painted brick fireplace.

Keeping on the theme of reception rooms and the snug comes next. It starts with an impressive brick fireplace with surrounding space for a sofa or display furniture with a further area beyond that the owners currently use as a study and which enjoys a pleasing outlook over the rear Courtyard-style garden.

This brings us to the large dining kitchen, which again enjoys the appeal of an exposed timber ceiling. The dining area features a row of floor-standing cupboards and illuminated display units and is open to the kitchen and utility areas beyond. The kitchen area is fitted with a shaker-style kitchen and an impressive "SMEG" floor-standing range cooker with five-ring induction hob, two-ovens and grill. There is further space for undercounter appliances and a tall freestanding fridge/freezer. The attractive stable-style rear door from the utility area opens onto the Courtyard Garden and is reinforces the character of this country dining kitchen.

The downstairs living accommodation is completed by a useful two-piece cloakroom w/c that features a white high gloss vanity unity with basin and chrome mixer tap and is accessed off the inner hall of the property.

Moving upstairs and you will find three bedrooms, two of which are large doubles with both enjoying an elevated outlook over your main garden. Bedroom two benefits further from a wall of fitted wardrobes with stylish sliding doors. The third bedroom is a good-sized single that could also be used as a separate home office if desired.

The large family bathroom features a fitted four-piece suite comprising a large shower cubicle with electric shower for instantaneous hot water and separate deep-panel bath with telephone style mixer tap, hand shower attachment, and tiled panels. A pedestal wash basin and toilet complete the suite.

The main garden is directly across the shared driveway from the front door of White Cottage and, as a Parkland-style garden with orchard, could rightly be described as a gardener's paradise! It is a substantial outdoor space that has been our seller's pride and joy over the years and could rival a garden on much more expensive properties and without taking too much of your time too! Featuring a wonderful assortment of colourful plants and shrubs along with 2 pear trees, 3 apple trees - one being cooking apples - 2 different types of plum and a damson with two more damson trees towards the field end. There are a further three green houses and separate vegetable garden - a substantial space in itself - that could be laid to lawn or a paved seating area if desired for relaxing within the depths of your delightful outdoor living space and being at one with the countryside.

The detached double garage by the private parking area of White Cottage is large and also much-deeper than a standard double garage. There is certainly plenty of storage space here and a useful inside room or workshop with a side garden facing window and part-glazed door. Complete with lighting and power, this could offer further potential as a separate home office if required?

White Cottage also features a further courtyard-style rear garden laid to low-maintenance brick paviour. Sheltered by brick walls and enjoying planted borders; this is a pleasant outdoor living space. A timber gate also provides access for bins and deliveries.

White Cottage is a real rarity; a real winning combination of beautiful living space both inside and out! With the additional benefit of no onward chain; White Cottage could be yours as soon as you can make it happen!

 

RECENT WORKS AND MAINTENANCE White Cottage's slate roof was the subject of a recent scheme of careful renovation whereby the whole roof of White Cottage was re-battened, re-felted and re-slated with slates replaced on a like-for-like basis under documented permission from Cheshire West & Chester Council's planning department. New ridge tiles were also fitted and the whole project is covered by both a building notice from Cheshire West & Chester Council and the balance of a twenty-year warranty from the roofing company.

Both chimneys of White Cottage were swept annually as usual in late April 2024.

White Cottage holds a current Gas Safety Certificate (available on request) and the gas-fired boiler was serviced on April 24th 2024 as normal.
