Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a one off home that combines superb quality, care and craftsmanship with a desirable semi rural location and one rather lovely surprise!

The chance to acquire Rose Cottage provides the market with a truly unique opportunity to acquire a distinctive detached property that has been cherished by the same family since they took ownership in 1996. From the moment you first approach, the home captivates with the charm and character of a historic extended cottage. While this impression of character and quality is entirely authentic, the property holds a surprising secret: it was completely rebuilt around the year 2000.
This clever reconstruction has created a home that perfectly marries the best of both worlds¿the stunning aesthetics of a classic country cottage with the benefits of modern construction.

The property sits on a superb plot of 0.38 acres, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. This unique offering is composed of three distinct parts: the main house, an impressive outbuilding, and the beautifully manicured gardens and grounds.

The main house itself extends to 2,561 square feet, an ideal size that feels spacious and elegant without being overwhelming or wasteful. Upon entering, the quality of the finish and the use of high-grade, traditional building materials are immediately apparent. There is an abundance of high quality timber used through, much bespoke joinery, feature fireplaces and other notable elements.

The ground floor features five reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen, and a useful utility room, all designed for comfortable living. It is a ground floor that delivers versatility and separate break out spaces with the key element of being open plan in the kitchen dining area.

The first floor is home to three individual bedrooms, each with its own character and configuration. From these rooms, wonderful views of the front and rear gardens can be enjoyed, with glimpses of the open farmland beyond the rear boundary.

Adding to the property's immense appeal is a high-quality outbuilding comprising a double garage and workshop with storage above. The entire building measures 1,755 square feet, with 946 square feet on the ground floor and 809 square feet on the first floor. This first-floor space presents a particularly exciting potential for development.

Subject to the necessary planning permissions, it could be transformed into an annex for a dependent relative or a holiday let, providing an income-generating opportunity. Alternatively, without the need for planning permission, it could immediately become a superb breakout space from the main house, perfect for a games room with a pool table or other leisure pursuits.

Finally, the gardens are a true highlight of the property, designed in the style of a beautiful English country garden. They feature well-stocked borders, expansive lawns, and perfect seating areas, all reflecting the thought and care that went into their creation.

Located in Eaton within walking distance of the school and community centre, Tarporley village is just three miles distant.
This exceptional home is offered for sale with no ongoing chain at a very competitive asking price, making it a rare find for those seeking a character-filled home with the advantages of modern living.
