Description

A beautifully extended and meticulously refurbished three-bedroom detached country cottage, originally dating back to 1853, offering an exceptional blend of period charm and high-spec modern living, set within a fully private and exclusive rural setting on the edge of Knutsford.

Accessed via a private lane with gated entrance, the property enjoys a generous driveway providing parking for five or more vehicles, creating an immediate sense of privacy and arrival.

This stunning home has undergone a comprehensive “back to brick” renovation approximately 12 years ago, including significant extensions and upgrades, all completed to a high standard. The result is a light-filled, free-flowing layout perfectly suited to modern living, while retaining character features such as a restored chimney with double-sided fireplace and a log burner.

The ground floor centres around a stylish open-plan breakfast kitchen, complemented by a lounge, separate dining room, study, and downstairs WC. Comfort is assured with wet underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, while the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite and dressing area.

Externally, the property is surrounded by beautiful wrap-around gardens, with a south-facing BBQ and dining terrace ideal for entertaining. There are also original outbuildings dating back to 1853, currently used as a woodshed, adding further character and potential.

A standout feature is the detached double garage with full electrics, along with a versatile garden room complete with shower and WC, currently used as a bedroom and home office but equally suited as a gym or guest accommodation.

The surrounding land enhances the sense of space and seclusion. Additional woodland garden previously rented from Crown Estate for annual fee (application and approval required)

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Smoker Hill Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey rural home of exceptional quality, combining historic character, modern efficiency, and a truly idyllic setting—yet within easy reach of major transport links and Knutsford town centre.
