A short walk from the timber bellcote of St Thomas’ Church, sitting snug amidst the rambling hedgerows and rolling fields, Rose Cottage fits wholesomely into the ripe rural aesthetic of Eaton. At home in Eaton And like the friendly Cheshire village in which it stands, there’s much more to Rose Cottage than the quaintness that first greets the eye upon arrival. Embodying classic country charm, Rose Cottage is, in reality, a home reborn, refurbished at the turn of the 21st century using a wealth of high-quality timber and bespoke joinery, with the added bonus of a versatile two storey annexe. Beyond the five bar timber gated entrance, parking is plentiful along the driveway which leads up to a large, detached double garage, with workshop. Borrowing from the landscape, Rose Cottage nestles behind a large front lawn, fringed in fully-stocked borders brimming with cottage garden planting, ensuring arrival home feels completely in tune with the country living promised by this handsome home. Make an entrance Indoors, Rose Cottage delivers: light, bright, warm and welcoming; setting the scene for a country home with a modern heart. Spotlights shine down from above, while creamy neutral tiling lies underfoot. Tucked off here lies the spacious utility room, with plumbing for washing machine and dryer, a sink and space for a fridge freezer. Views stretch out over the lawn to the front. Nearby there is also a convenient cloakroom with wash basin and WC. The freshness of the entrance hall flows through into the kitchen diner, which opens upahead, through glazed double doors. Here, the classic-contemporary ambience continues with a beamed ceiling and Shaker-style cabinetry in crisp white, illuminated by spotlighting. Traditional touches, for example a Belfast sink, are balanced by the modern essentials, including a microwave, oven, grill, hob in addition to a built-in dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Above the sink, the window frames far-reaching country views, taking in the fields and oak trees in the distance. With plenty of space for a breakfast table, the room also opens to a more formal dining area, where bespoke cabinetry graces the far wall, ideal for the dinner service and rainy day board games. Beyond, double doors to the orangery – a bright and sunny room offering instant access out to the garden – bring in borrowed light. Restful and relaxing, in summertime, throw open the doors and invite the fresh country air in. Conveniently connecting the sociable family kitchen to the privacy of the study, discover a cosy snug, where more bespoke joinery lends a calming country presence to Rose Cottage in the form of a media wall, with space for television and storage.   Beyond, the study offers the ideal quiet corner for those working from home, basking in glorious views over garden and countryside through French doors opening out for inviting creative breaks in the sunshine. Double doors also connect the study to the lounge, the warm and inviting heart of the home with beam bedecked ceiling and roaring log burning stove. Exposed timbers stretch down from the ceiling, creating a sense of separation from the reception hall beyond, where stairs lead up to the first floor landing. The origins of the home can be traced in the exposed beams that spread up through the walls and across the ceilings of the bedrooms on this level. Archways and treacle-toned timbers lend character to the bountiful master bedroom, whose crowning glory is its large dressing room with a wealth of fitted wardrobes and phenomenal views out over the fields and trees to the undulating hills in the distance. Everchanging and eternally enchanting whether bathed in sunlight or festooned in autumnal mists, the views can also be enjoyed from the spacious en suite, with large walk-in shower, twin wash basins, bidet and WC. Bedroom two also offers a sense of spacious slumber, uniquely shaped to offer a separate sitting room area (which could serve as a study area or even play area or computer station for younger members of the family). Beneath the beams, this spacious double also features its own en suite. Overlooking the front garden, the third capacious double bedroom again is served by its own, private en suite with bath containing shower head attachment. Wrapping around the home, the garden offers sunshine, shelter and serenity. To the left of the front door, a trellis-clad corner creates a sheltered spot, perfect for summer days, sitting out, looking across the lawn as children play, the large lawn itself providing a sense of privacy and separation from the wider world, while to the rear of Rose Cottage, traditional English cottage garden vibes continue. Pathways weave through the lawn, beneath pergolas and statuary brimming with herbaceous planting before reaching a pond edged in paving beneath the outstretched branches of a mature tree offering shelter and shade. Dine al fresco on the patio or sip an aperitif in one of the sunny seating areas offering rolling country vistas found dotted about the garden. With its own area of garden, the detached annexe retains a peaceful sense of privacy, set above the double garage and served by its own kitchen living area, shower room and serene double bedroom tucked beneath the eaves.
