Haughton, Tarporley, Cheshire

The property
Laurel Cottage is a charming double-fronted period cottage offering almost 1,000 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. While in need of some cosmetic modernisation, the property offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create an ideal family and entertaining environment, with the potential to retain period features. In its current configuration, the accommodation flows from an open plan entrance hall with original quarry tiled flooring. It briefly comprises a generous dual aspect sitting room with quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams, fitted storage and an open fireplace constructed of exposed brick in a herringbone design and, opening off the hall, a front aspect kitchen with painted exposed beams and brick walls, a limited range of wooden wall and base units, and space for modern integrated appliances. Adjacent is a generous rear aspect utility room with exposed brick walls, a range of fitted base units and bespoke shelving. A door from the kitchen opens to a family bathroom. A concealed staircase rises from the sitting room to the vaulted first floor, which provides a generous dual aspect principal bedroom with exposed wooden flooring, a feature open fireplace and an inter-connecting dressing room with useful en suite cloakroom. The level is completed by a rear aspect double bedroom with fitted storage.

Outside
Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through double wrought iron gates over a forecourt leading to the rear aspect front door. The generous garden spanning the full length of the terrace and beyond also requires some cosmetic landscaping and features an attached outbuilding with gardener’s WC, offering potential for a variety of uses including as a garden office if required. The whole area is screened by mature shrubs and trees and offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create a peaceful garden idyll enjoying superb views over surrounding farmland, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
