Brookdale Cottages, Clotton Common, Clotton, Tarporley

A superbly renovated and beautifully appointed semi detached cottage, set in a plot of a quarter of an acre and having the benefit of paddock, formal garden, driveway and versatile outbuilding.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This will be an excellent buying opportunity for the buyer who places a strong emphasis on quality and location rather than square footage and who has a passion for the outdoors and enjoys all that gardens and rural has to offer. The total plot size is approximately a quarter of an acre.

Clotton Common is a lovely semi rural hamlet perfectly positioned between the charming villages of Kelsall and Tarporley. Within it lies this truly captivating semi detached cottage which has an escape from the country feel being tucked away, well away from the main road.

The cottage itself has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic refurbishment by the present owners, resulting in an on-point, stylish interior that perfectly marries the best attributes of contemporary design with traditional country appeal. The entire ground floor boasts stunning flagstone flooring, setting a tone of rustic elegance and durability.

The main living space is a magnificent room extending to 18'7" x 12'7". It is bathed in natural light thanks to a graceful bay window, and its focal point is a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove and wooden mantle over. The flagstone floor continues seamlessly into the fantastic contemporary breakfast kitchen. This superb space has been meticulously designed to optimise style, living space, comfort, and practicality, featuring clean lines, integrated appliances, and direct, stunning views over the garden provided by a feature window. This truly is a high-quality, inspiring space for cooking and gathering.

Ascending to the first-floor level, you will find two comfortable double bedrooms alongside a very beautifully appointed shower room, completing the stylish and practical accommodation.

As already mentioned, the exceptional feature of this residence is its fabulous plot. The grounds comprise a beautifully stocked formal garden area, which has been carefully planted to maximise colour and interest throughout the year. There is also a large lawned paddock, with its own gated entrance from the lane. This is perfect if you have ever fancied using a ride on lawn mower!

A high quality driveway provides off road parking and there is also a a useful summer house, home office, and store, which can be used for a variety of purposes. This extensive outdoor space offers endless possibilities, whether for gardening enthusiasts, younger folk needing play space, or those desiring a private work-from-home environment in the outbuilding.

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.
