Mill Lane, Goostrey

A striking, individually-designed bungalow occupying a generous plot on one of the Goostrey's most desirable lanes, situated only a short walk from the heart of village. Built in the 1970s with a bold mid-century aesthetic, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home delivers a rare combination of substantial accommodation, versatile reception space and distinct mature gardens.

The property's strong linear character sets it apart immediately, with excellent frontage including a large raised lawn garden and a long tarmac driveway which extends to the rear, of the house where a generous detached garage sits beyond a functional carport providing covered parking and excellent storage. 

The rear gardens are divided into two distinct and complementary areas. A beautifully enclosed walled lawn courtyard — accessible directly from the kitchen, creates a wonderfully private outdoor retreat, perfect for entertaining or alfresco dining. Beyond the courtyard wall lies a further generous area of private lawn —  completing an outdoor arrangement of real character and versatility.

Interior with mid-century character

Internally, the home is presented in excellent condition, with its carefully preserved 1970s details giving each room an authentic and timeless quality. Floor-to-ceiling sectional windows flood the principal living room with natural light, while flat panel veneer doors and complementary panelled ceiling details carry the mid-century aesthetic. The exposed brick chimney and open fireplace in the living room serve as a focal point entirely in keeping with the architecture — a nod to the bold proportions and honest materiality of the era.

The generous living room accommodates both seating and dining arrangements with ease. The kitchen breakfast room is fitted with matching cabinetry set against contrasting worktops, centred around a peninsula island with breakfast bar seating, and enjoys pleasant views over the courtyard garden beyond. Just off the kitchen, a large second reception room — currently used as a dining room — is a wonderfully bright and versatile space, filled with light through dual-aspect windows on both sides.

To the rear of the dining room lies the superb master bedroom suite: a well-proportioned bedroom leads through to a dressing room with French doors opening directly onto the garden. The recently replaced en-suite bathroom is fitted with quality sanitaryware and a generously sized wet room style shower enclosure.

Three further bedrooms are located at the opposite end of the house, each benefiting from fitted storage. The largest of these also features a concealed wet room shower of its own. A well-appointed family bathroom serves all three, fitted with a classic white three-piece suite including a panelled bath with overhead shower.

Location

Goostrey is a highly regarded Cheshire village that strikes a pleasing balance between rural character and everyday convenience. The village centre — just a short walk away — offers a good range of day-to-day amenities including a pharmacy, post office, café, general store and two traditional pubs. For a broader choice of shops and services, Holmes Chapel is close by, while the market town of Knutsford with its independent boutiques and restaurants is also within easy reach. Commuters are well served by the village's own railway station with an hourly service on the Crewe to Manchester line, with onward connections to Manchester Airport and London Euston, and the M6 at junction 18 is around four miles away.
