SUMMARY
A unique, remarkable and utterly wonderful extended 3-bedroom thatched cottage set in 0.9 acres of manicured gardens in an idyllic semi-rural setting close to local amenities and schools, benefitting from gardens to sides and rear, a variety of outbuildings, 3 garages and ample driveway parking.

DESCRIPTION
A unique, remarkable and utterly wonderful thatched cottage set in 0.9 acres of manicured gardens with outstanding far-reaching views over the Cheshire plain to the Welsh Hills. A stunning blend of period charm and modern convenience, this property has far more than meets the eye. It has a wide variety of attached outbuildings offering extreme versatility and the possibility of extending the living accommodation or the creation of home offices / gymnasium / annex accommodation - subject to any necessary consents.
Although the property as presented has three bedrooms and one bathroom, there is a ground floor shower room and a myriad of ways in which the accommodation can be so much more. Set amongst other fine rural houses in this beautiful hamlet enclave, bordering open farmland yet with easy access to Chester, Aldersley Golf Club, local amenities in Tattenhall, and the A41 connecting trunk route.
The Cottage was created by amalgamating three small cottages and the village post office together to form one home. It has a wealth of period features, the thatched roof being obvious, but also with exposed ceiling timbers and fireplaces, flagged, tiled and block flooring - there is charm in abundance.
