Description - Dig Lane Cottage comprises a mid 19th century former Dorfold Estate Cottage, constructed of brick under a slate roof and approached over a cattle grid and sweeping gravel drive. It was modernised and enlarged in the 1980's and comes to the market for the first time in 37 years.
The first thing to note is the position. With a plot of 1.50 acres and open views, 1.5 miles from Nantwich town centre, this location is very special. Not only is this a great house now, but it also offers extensive potential to be modernised, reconfigured and, subject to planning permission, extended. The property as presently configured extends to about 2,700 square feet (gross internal) including the double garage.
Location & Amenities - Acton is a small village, lying immediately West of the market town of Nantwich. Around a third of the area falls within the Dorfold Estate. The Parish contains many listed historic buildings, including two listed grade I. Dorfold Hall was considered by Nikolaus Pevsner to be one of the two finest Jacobean houses in Cheshire, whilst St. Marys Church has a tower dating from the 13th Century, one of the earliest in the county.
Nantwich is a charming market town set beside the River Weaver, with a rich history, wide range of speciality shops and four supermarkets. Acton Church of English Primary School (Ofsted Good) serves Acton and the Parish falls within the catchment area of Malbank School (established 1560) and Sixth Form College (Ofsted good). Private schooling in the area includes The Grange at Hartford, Newcastle High School, The Kings and Queens in Chester and Ellsemere College are all within 20 miles.
