Quarry Lane, Manley, Frodsham

A captivating and charismatic part sandstone cottage nestled in a private, mature setting, offering spacious and beautifully presented accommodation.

At the end of a sweeping drive and surrounded by mature woodland, welcome to privacy and seclusion at Laburnum Cottage.

This former sandstone quarry workers cottage is a real gem of a property, in a setting that offers exceptional tranquility, in one of the most popular rural villages in this part of Cheshire. The original part of the property is of sandstone block construction but it has been been sympathetically extended and substantially enhanced in recent years, creating a home with style, character and quality throughout. It combines character features with a modern layout, stylish touches and a high quality open plan kitchen that connects to secluded gardens.

The layout is configured to provide balance and flexibility. There is a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, home office, cloakroom, and utility room. A large dual aspect living room has bay window seating and a fitted log burning stove. A particular highlight is the open plan kitchen/dining and living room. This is a great space for family life and social gatherings with smart, modern kitchen fittings and quartz worktops. The high vaulted ceiling has a Velux window and full height glazing allowing natural light to fill the room. Double doors open and bring the outdoors in, making it ideal for summer parties.

The first floor offers three good sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Oil fired central heating is installed and double glazing is fitted throughout.

Outside, a part sandstone block built outbuilding provides useful storage space and there is ample driveway parking. A stone patio wraps around the house to capture morning and afternoon sunshine. The secluded South West facing rear garden has a patio area and a lawn and enjoys an outlook over the adjacent woodland.
