Snelson Lane, Snelson, SK11

A charming semi-detached period cottage with an excellent annex room, situated in a wonderful rural setting on the outskirts of Over Peover village, enjoying splendid open views across the surrounding countryside and beautifully established private gardens.

Extended and refurbished in recent years, the cottage is presented beautifully throughout and provides approximately 2,000 square feet of versatile accommodation, complemented by a double garage, garden store and studio above, bringing the total overall space to just under 3,000 square feet.

The cottage occupies an enviable position in the heart of this highly sought-after rural district, within a few minutes’ walk of the excellent Dog Inn, renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and superb food. The cottage combines considerable period charm with stylish modern improvements, attractive fittings and well-proportioned accommodation, all enjoying a delightful aspect over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Approached via a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the property also benefits from a substantial double garage with a ground floor WC and a superb first-floor studio, currently used as a yoga studio but equally suited to a home office, creative space or potentially guest accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The cottage itself offers an excellent range of ground-floor reception accommodation, including an open dining hall, a charming snug, a fully fitted hobby room or study with direct access to the garden, and an inviting sitting room centred around a wood-burning stove. The extended kitchen/breakfast room forms a particularly attractive feature of the house, with bi-fold doors opening onto the side garden, a good-sized central island and an appealing range of hand-painted cabinets complemented by integrated appliances.

At first-floor level, the principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned, enjoying a dual aspect and with lovely views across the surrounding countryside, together with an en suite shower room. Two further generous double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom accessed from the landing.

The gardens and grounds are a particular delight, with mature hedging creating a series of attractive spaces and a wonderful sense of privacy and discovery. Carefully maintained cottage-style lawns are complemented by established shrub borders, while a good-sized terrace immediately to the rear of the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Over Peover and neighbouring Snelson are among the most desirable villages in this particularly attractive rural area, surrounded by beautiful Cheshire countryside. The nearby village of Chelford, with its railway station providing services towards Manchester and Crewe, together with connections to the London mainline, is only a short drive away.
