Description - This exquisite semi detached cottage is constructed of brick under a tiled roof and approached over a flagged drive, through double wrought iron gates to a large gravelled car parking and turning area. It formed part of the Duchy of Lancaster Cheshire estate and was sold out of the estate in 1988. The current owners acquired the property in 1989 and have transformed it into an ideal home that combines tasteful contemporary quality with original character and charm. And whilst as the name suggests, this is indeed a cottage, the room sizes are really impressive with three reception rooms in addition to the large study with a separate access, that could suit a number of uses.

Externally, a quality environment. On a practical note there is extensive driveway parking and the crowning glory being the detached double garage/workshop that is extremely rare to have with a cottage, but also has a loft room above. This centrally heated, double glazed building has its own oil boiler, 3 phase electricity and could be converted into ancillary accommodation, subject to planning permission being obtained.

Location & Amenities - Lavender Cottage is situated about half a mile from the historic and picturesque village of Barthomley. Barthomley is known for its fine sandstone church and the pretty, early 17th Century, thatched White Lion public house. The house adjoins open countryside and yet is within easy reach of the M6 motorway and Crewe station, making it an ideal location for the commuter. Manchester Airport is 28 miles, Alsager 3 miles, Crewe 6.5 miles and Nantwich 9 miles. There are excellent golf and leisure facilities nearby at Wychwood Park.
