Eaton Lane, Cotebrook, CW6

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This most appealing and unique cottage is both a rare and extremely welcome addition to the market. Enjoying a very appealing location, with beautiful views opposite to the Shire Horse Centre, the property also benefits from a beautiful south west facing garden which is private and mature.

From the initial drive by the property looks appealing and well maintained, it is though difficult to fully understand the remarkable proportions that the property offers internally. There is also a wonderful blend throughout of period features and character with a superb layout that is perfectly tuned in to modern day living requirements.

The entrance hall provides a strong first impression, having a view to the front over open countryside and with exposed Cheshire brickwork and ceiling beams. From the entrance hall doors lead to a cloakroom and a really attractive living room which has a wood burning stove as it’s focal point.

For me though the real highlight is the remarkable open plan kitchen dining family room. It is this room that is truly the focal point of day to day family life. Extending in size to 17'10" x 16'10" this wonderful open plan area has a true country cottage feel to it with freestanding units, full height inglenook fireplace, exposed roof purlins and an direct access to the beautiful garden to the rear via double doors. Light and bright in the spring summer months yet cozy and warm in the winter it truly is a format that will appeal to many. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a very spacious and practical utility room which in turn has a walk in pantry located just off it.

The utility is also an ideal area for those with pets who seek an alternative entrance to the property apart from the main entrance door. The same could apply to young children!

At first floor level there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The size of the principal bedroom is quite extraordinary and in addition to being very spacious it also has ample space for wardrobes and a top quality en suite shower room. There are two further well proportioned bedrooms in addition to a spacious and really well appointed family bathroom.

Externally there is ample off road parking for five to six vehicles set behind a timber five bar gated driveway entrance and there is also an EV charging point. There is also a large detached outbuilding, noted on the floorplan as a garden office and being a wonderfully adaptable space, ideal for hobbies, leisure time or as a work from home space separate from the main dwelling.

The South Westerly facing rear garden is an absolute delight due to its maturity, privacy and establishment. Predominantly laid to lawn there are also well stocked beds, colourful borders and ample outdoor seating areas.

Taken in combination with the beautiful established garden and rural views to both front and rear it is the author's opinion that there are few finer houses presently for sale under £550,000 in the CW6 postcode.

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.
