## Description

CASH BUYERS ONLY

Orchard Cottage is an attractive double-fronted end of terrace period home, occupying a truly exceptional plot in the very heart of Knutsford in the sought-after St John’s Conservation Area. Properties offering this level of space, character and off-street parking in such a central location are exceptionally rare.

The house retains a wealth of period charm, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall and extending through two elegant reception rooms, ideal for both family living and entertaining. The ground floor also offers a kitchen, utility room and downstairs WC, providing a practical layout with excellent potential for modernisation. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, while beneath the house are full cellar chambers with both internal and external access, offering further flexibility for storage or conversion (subject to consents).

Set within sprawling gardens, the property benefits from gated access and off-street parking. A garage previously occupied part of the plot and could be easily reinstated, if desired. With significant scope for extension and enhancement (subject to planning permission), Orchard Cottage presents a rare and exciting opportunity to create a superb town-centre home tailored to individual tastes.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a brilliant opportunity to acquire a period property with outstanding potential in one of Knutsford’s most desirable locations.

Cash buyers only due to the level of work required. A standard residential mortgage will not be possible.

EPC Rating: G
