Georges Lane Farm comprises a charming thatched cottage, large separate detached barn (Letterbox Barn) all set within approximately 1.5 acres of grounds with an option to purchase further paddocks with 3 separate road accesses extending to approximately 2.85 acres. Of appeal to those looking for a quiet country retreat with good access links, those with equestrian interests, or those who might wish to take advantage of the planning permissions which have been secured to further extend the cottage and develop the separate detached barn. Perhaps for multi-generational living, investment or sale, or to vary these plans to their own vision and take advantage of the significant permitted development rights that exist to construct garaging and/or other outbuildings. The cottage is accessed from Georges lane via a traditional farm gate onto a gravel driveway that leads to a carport and ample parking for several vehicles. Offering approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of beautifully characterful accommodation, showcasing an abundance of period features, with versatile spaces including up to 5 bedrooms (two on the ground floor with one currently arranged as a second home office) as well as a convenient ground floor bathroom. There are four well-proportioned reception rooms, the highlight of which is a particularly spacious sitting room with a feature fireplace, plenty of natural light and wonderful views across the gardens. On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, and two further bathrooms, all creating a peaceful and private retreat for family and guests. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, enjoying wonderful views across the gardens and an abundance of natural light. The well-appointed dining kitchen features a range cooker, granite worktops and integrated appliances. The ground floor also offers the aforementioned spacious sitting room, plus formal dining room leading through to a private home office, reception hall and sitting area, two generous double bedrooms (one currently utilised as a further office), a stylish family bathroom, as well as a separate utility/boot room and boiler room. The current owners have secured planning permission for the conversion of Letterbox Barn into a separate four-bedroom dwelling of approximately 2,000 sq. ft with its own separate gated entrance and grounds including parking for several vehicles and horse lorries (P/P Ref: 22/2856M).  In addition, the cottage benefits from recently approved plans for remodelling and extension works to provide approximately 3,400 sq. ft. of accommodation (P/P Ref: 25/2969/HOUS). A number of improvements have recently been carried out, including rerouting underground of overhead cables, upgrading internal electrics, replacing the oil tank, external landscaping works and securing of several planning permissions to enhance the property. The property occupies approximately 1.5 acres of grounds, incorporating established gardens and a small paddock. Letterbox Barn is accessed via its own separate entrance and benefits from extensive parking suitable for multiple vehicles, including horse lorries. Presently arranged as three stables, a hay barn, tack room and storage space, the barn has planning consent to create an impressive four bedroom residence of approximately 2,000 sq. ft. The proposed design has been highly commended by planners and offers a rare opportunity to develop a contemporary home that sits harmoniously within the rural landscape and quite separate from the cottage. Further enhancing the offering is an additional parcel of land extending to approximately 2.85 acres with 3 separate road accesses, which is located directly opposite the property on Georges Lane and available by separate negotiation. This land is ideal for equestrian use, lifestyle expansion or long-term investment. The property occupies a highly sought-after location, conveniently positioned for Knutsford, Arley, Great Budworth and with excellent motorway links.
