Description

A truly charming, beautifully presented and refurbished detached period cottage in a lovely edge of village rural situation within easy reach of Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.

Bluebell Cottage is a charming detached period house, originally constructed c.1760, in a pretty rural location between Mobberley and Wilmslow/Alderley Edge, beautifully refurbished by the current owner and offered in stunning decorative order throughout. The layout works fantastically well and would suit either a couple or a smaller family, the grounds are gated and beautifully managed, provide excellent off-road parking, compact landscaped gardens and a sunny Mediterranean styled courtyard to the rear.

Internally, the accommodation includes an entrance vestibule with stable door leading in to a spacious country kitchen with a range of hand painted style cabinets, marble work surfaces and splash backs, built-in appliances and space for a large central dining table. Open to the kitchen is a snug or family room ideal for a TV nook.  An inner hallway gives access to the rear courtyard, a downstairs cloakroom, small study with window overlooking the front and a charming oak floored sitting room with vaulted ceiling and a triple aspect overlooking the gardens.

At first floor level are three bedrooms - the main room has a dual aspect with a range of built-in wardrobes, a guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes has an en suite shower room, and bedroom three is also a double room with built-in wardrobe. There is a large family bathroom with a period style suite and a range of built-in cabinets.

Externally, remote gates give access to a block paved driveway which sits to the front and side of the house and adjoins an open lawned area and there is lots of off-road parking. At the rear of the house is a charming landscaped courtyard, block paved and with an artificial grass lawn providing an excellent sun-trap.  An attractive covered loggia overlooks the courtyard and provides al fresco dining and covered spaces for seating in the summer or winter months.  The former double garage has been converted in to a useful outdoor room which could be utilised as a gym or a home office set-up or perhaps even an external studio providing some additional guest accommodation.
