Cogshall Lane, Little Leigh, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9

A Beautifully Renovated modern Country Home with Exceptional Interior Quality and Expansive Gardens, in a Quiet Rural Setting

Description

This is a stylish, gated, modern farmhouse, extensively upgraded and extended by the current owners, and beautifully positioned in an idyllic 0.42 acre rural plot.

Positioned behind gates on a peaceful rural lane, the property is secluded but not isolated, providing a high degree of privacy while remaining accessible to nearby village amenities and transport links. Totalling just under 3,000 sq ft of high-specification accommodation, highlights include four large double bedrooms, versatile living space, a fabulous Tom Howley Kitchen, double garage, outbuildings and wonderful views, while the surrounding countryside provides outstanding walking, riding and outdoor opportunities right from the doorstep.

The interior of the property has been finished to a superb modern standard. At the heart of the home is a striking open-plan Tom Howley kitchen and dining area, designed for both family life and entertaining. With quartz work surfaces, a Franke Belfast sink, Heritage brass taps, Rangemaster cooker, and integrated Neff full-size fridge, freezer and dishwasher, the space is as functional as it is stylish. Adding to the practical appeal are an oversized central island with breakfast bar, generous pantry cupboard and wet under-floor heating - ideal for cold winter mornings. Bifold doors open from the dining area to a wraparound terrace, creating a wonderful inside/outside space, ideal for entertaining or alfresco dining. The adjacent utility room is finished with matching cabinetry and stone flooring, housing a Vaillant boiler (18 months old), hot water tank, stable-door rear access, cloakroom storage and a contemporary WC. The ground floor also includes two flexible reception rooms: a front-facing snug with wood floors, perfect as a playroom or study, and a spacious, dual-aspect rear living room with French doors and lovely views across the surrounding fields. All windows and internal doors are recently installed, with solid wood exterior doors and double locks.

A key feature of the property is the bedroom space, with four generously sized double bedrooms, each with high ceilings and large windows framing views over fields, horses and open skies. The principal suite is a standout feature: vaulted ceilings with skylights, French doors with a glass-balustraded Juliet balcony, a dressing hall with built-in storage, a separate dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite shower room with floor-to-ceiling tiling. Bedroom two also features French doors to a Juliet balcony with open views, while bedrooms three and four are well-proportioned doubles, one currently used as a guest room and study. The family bathroom is newly fitted with Phoenix sanitaryware, a walk-around bath, and tasteful tiling for a refined finish.

Externally, the gardens wrap around the property, designed to capture light and offer a range of outdoor spaces throughout the day. South- and east-facing lawns make for a peaceful setting, while the west terrace, with hot tub and open field views, offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation. To the rear is a detached double garage which presents future potential for conversion to a home office, gym or annexe (subject to planning). A number of timber outbuildings provide excellent storage for tools, bikes, and garden equipment, with potential to upgrade to a summer house or garden room. The orchard area (apples, plums, pears and cherries) and generous lawns offer a wealth of scope for play areas, vegetable gardens or simply enjoying the space and setting. There is parking for at least five vehicles, along with a dedicated electric vehicle charging point.
