Property description:
ROSE COTTAGE
Ideally suited to a growing family, this superb detached property is surrounded by grounds that will attract any keen gardener, and is in a delightful rural setting close to the lovely town of Nantwich. There is an excellent primary school within a short walk, and good secondaries only a school-bus ride away.
This charming freehold four-bedroom, two-bathroom house still makes us smile contentedly after more than twenty years of happy ownership.
The extensive gardens have been lovingly landscaped over recent years, and now provide a wealth of interest throughout the seasons with delightful areas for seating, relaxation and enjoyment (including sufficient space for ball games). Several mature trees provide shade and interest, there are several productive damson trees, and a picturesque rose arch gateway leads to the front door along a winding path through a wonderful cottage garden.
The original cottage has been extended over the years, and many of the original wooden single glazed windows have been replaced with modern white uPVC double glazed units having internal beading to retain the ‘cottage’ appearance.
Being in good order throughout, the property requires little or no expenditure; however there is plenty of scope for the new owner.
The property has mains electricity, water and drainage, and is heated by oil fired central heating.
Living Room
3.61m x 4.57m
An addition to the original cottage, being built some forty years ago, this room has a French window facing the north (white border) garden as well as a window overlooking part of the garden containing an apple tree. A brick open fireplace and hearth command the room which presently has fitted bookshelves to one wall. Television and VHF radio aerial sockets.
Dining Room
4.60m x 4.57m
An attractive brick open fireplace with stone flagged hearth and alcove, with a Stockton multifuel stove providing cosy heat to this room and much of the house. The main window faces part of the garden with additional light entering via a small window on the opposite wall. Access to the rear passageway.
Kitchen
3.4m x 3.51m
Containing high quality fitted units with lovely wooden doors; single drainer ‘Astra’ 1˝ bowl sink, dishwasher, built in fridge, ceramic hob with extractor hood over, and built in oven (all appliances are Philips Whirlpool); plenty of worktop space with ample power sockets; breakfast bar with cupboards over. All work surfaces lit by under cupboard strip lights.
Toilet
1.83m x 1.2m
Loo and washbasin in a delightfully half wood panelled room make this a very useful feature.
Hall
3.5m x 1.4m
Providing an alternative link between lounge and dining room to the downstairs loo! The electricity meter is contained in a wall cupboard of the same style as the kitchen cabinets, with the control for the alarm system under. Cloak cupboard under the stairs.
Landing
12.62m x 1.0m
Running almost the entire length of the house, and benefiting from a dormer-type window to the eastern aspect at the top of the stairs. At one end is a large airing cupboard containing one of the hot water cylinders, heated by low-rate electricity immersion heaters.
Bedroom (Master)
4.55m x 3.96m
A superb master bedroom of impressive proportions with not only views over the field but also through a south-facing French door (leading to a balcony area) over the vegetable garden and beyond. There is a built in wardrobe with internal drawers and three mirrored sliding doors, telephone socket and plenty of power points.
En-suite
2.69m x 3.30m
A superb bathroom to complement the bedroom! A large corner bath with thermostatic shower, toilet, bidet and pedestal washbasin seem almost lost in this room which is fully tiled on three walls, and half tiled on the fourth where there is also a full height airing cupboard containing a completely separate hot water cylinder which supplies only this room.
Bedroom (2)
3.4m x 3.7m
Currently in use as an office, there is also a large full height cupboard off this room, over the stairwell. Views from the west-facing window are occasionally of cows in the field opposite!
Bedroom (3)
4.27m x 3.43m
A wonderful room, formed – we believe – from the two original cottage bedrooms, and having two windows overlooking garden and field beyond. There is an alcove to one side of the chimney breast, currently fitted with cupboard and shelving. The wall opposite the windows has a large built-in wardrobe with plenty of space.
Bedroom (4)
3.63m x 2.82m
A nicely proportioned room with delightful views over parts of the garden and field opposite.
Bathroom
2.57m x 1.63m
Although not a large room, this comfortably contains an acrylic bath with shower attachment and curtain, loo, pedestal washbasin and mirror with shaver socket and light over.
Externally there are a number of additional structures:
Double Garage
(6.37m x 4.78m)
Plumbing and power for washing machine, tumble drier and chest freezer on the north wall, with a tap for garden and car washing use. Sockets between the two double glazed windows on the east wall, and an inspection pit in the southern ‘half’ of the garage, with space on the southern wall for cupboards/shelving/storage. Lighting is from three large fluorescent tubes on the extremely well insulated ceiling (above is bedroom 1).
The brick construction continues to the south of the garage to provide:
Tank Room
(1.45m x 2.13m)
Containing a steel 600 gallon oil storage tank feeding to--
Boiler House and Store
(1.45m x 2.59m)
Access door at the rear. Oil fired boiler with balanced flue to the east wall. There is plenty of storage space for tools, bicycles etc, with an additional alcove for storing wood or solid fuel for the open fires. Power and light installed.
There are two aluminium greenhouses: one a lean-to on the south end of the property, the other free-standing, both on flagged bases, both with power installed.
There is a garden shed near the vegetable garden for tool storage. The growing plot is subdivided into raised beds on either side of a central flag pathway. With a little care this plot produces impressive quantities of the household vegetables and, currently, fruit from the large raspberry patch.ROSE COTTAGE |
