Myrtle Cottage, Moddershall

Beautiful and comprehensively renovated cottage of immense character, charm and appeal, located in a gorgeous village location within walking distance of pub, café, church and glorious open countryside.



Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Whilst I may do the job for a living, I still can't resist watching escape to the country whenever I can! I do not recall seeing Moddershall village featured, but whether it has or hasn't, it certainly deserves to be shown again soon!

If you have never been to the village I strongly recommend a trip out here and a walk around. It's absolutely beautiful, with stunning walks and rolling hills yet also a good range with amenities on offer. These include a traditional and very popular pub, café, village hall and Church. With the pub and café overlooking the village duck pond, this is about as idyllic a country scene as you will likely find anywhere.

The cottage itself matches up to the excellence of the location. It has been comprehensively renovated in the last four years, with a wide ranging array of improvements, all carried out with meticulous care and in a manner that is sympathetic with to the age and character of the dwelling, which we understand dates back to circa 1850. It also takes full advantage of open views of countryside directly opposite.

The recent changes by the present owner include the installation of a bespoke kitchen with electric AGA (available by separate negotiation), new en suite and main bathroom, high grade LPG central heating system, installation of bi fold doors in the living room and complete redecoration throughout.

There is lots of space here with the total size, including the garage, extending in total to a little over 1900 square feet. At first floor there are three double bedrooms, an en suite and bathroom in addition to a walk in store room, which presently houses a fitness gym bike.

The ground floor has a stunning living room with multi fuel stove, a bespoke kitchen and garden room.

The cottage whilst historical is also very practical. The garage is large and if desired. Could incorporate a utility area with relatively minor adjustment. If needed, the garage can be used for off road parking. However, the current owner has found no need for this, with there always being more than ample street parking not just for themselves but also when guests and visitors arrive - the house is located on a tranquil lane.

The garden is an absolute delight, being full of colour and very well established. It has two levels, with the higher level commanding excellent views. The plot as a whole is very well established and private.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
