Description
General Remarks - Nestled along the sought-after Love Lane, just a mile from the heart of the highly desirable village of Malpas, White Cottage is a delightful, detached family home that perfectly blends timeless character with generous living space. Measuring just under 1,400 sq ft, this attractive white rendered cottage has been lovingly maintained and retains an abundance of original features, creating a warm and welcoming home that is ready to be enjoyed. Adding further appeal, the property is offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN, making it an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to move without delay.
Situation - White Cottage enjoys an enviable position approximately half a mile from the centre of Malpas, one of South West Cheshire's most desirable villages. Renowned for its strong sense of community, excellent schooling, independent shops, welcoming pubs, restaurants and doctors' surgery, Malpas has recently received national recognition after being named amongst The Sunday Times' Best Places to Live in the UK for 2025.
The village is steeped in history, centred around its magnificent 12th Century church, whilst the nearby Bickerton and Beeston Hills provide some of Cheshire's finest walking routes and panoramic views. The renowned Bolesworth Estate hosts an exciting calendar of prestigious events, including the internationally acclaimed Bolesworth Horse Show.
The nearby market town of Whitchurch offers an excellent range of supermarkets, independent retailers, leisure facilities and everyday amenities. The property also enjoys excellent transport links, with convenient access to Chester, Wrexham, North Wales and the wider North West via the A41. Chester provides extensive shopping, leisure and business facilities together with direct motorway connections and rail services, including London Euston in approximately two hours. Regular rail services are also available from both Whitchurch and Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly and beyond.
Brief Description - The well-balanced accommodation is perfectly suited to modern family life whilst retaining its traditional charm. An inviting entrance hall leads through to a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, whilst the elegant sitting room centres around a characterful open fireplace, creating a cosy retreat during the cooler months. A separate family room offers excellent versatility and could equally serve as a playroom, home office or snug. The kitchen which has a wide range of units and worktop space has windows to the gardens, under stairs store and is complemented by a useful adjoining utility room. There is also a ground floor shower room, adding practicality to the home's thoughtful layout.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising three comfortable doubles and a generous single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom. The property further benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazed windows throughout.
Outside & Gardens - Outside, White Cottage continues to impress. A gated entrance from Love Lane opens onto an extensive driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, which extends to a useful carport and detached tandem garage. The beautifully landscaped front gardens create an attractive first impression and feature a charming model railway, offering a truly unique focal point.
The generous rear gardens are a particular highlight, providing an idyllic setting for families and keen gardeners alike. There is ample space for a productive kitchen garden, chicken coop and composting area, making the property well suited to those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A substantial insulated garden room, currently utilised as a 'man cave', offers endless possibilities as a home office, studio, gym or hobbies room, whilst additional garden storage sheds provide excellent practicality. Beyond the gardens, the property enjoys delightful open views across the surrounding countryside towards the Welsh Hills, creating a wonderful backdrop throughout the seasons.
