In evidence are features such as sash windows, stone window sills, cast iron fireplaces, beams, stone flagged floors and stripped pine floors. The most has been made of the space available to allow a good sized master bedroom and a spacious bathroom at first floor level. In addition to the original window, the introduction of a roof light to the bathroom gives plenty of natural light and a bright, airy perspective. The kitchen has just been upgraded with very smart white units to complete a lovely home. The cottage is set in a very pleasant location within the picturesque village of Kerridge with uninterrupted views of the Cheshire countryside. The fields, hills and woodland that Kerridge sits within are easily accessible from the cottage for pleasant country walks. There are small enclosed private garden areas to the front and rear, the rear being stone flagged and ideal for sitting out to enjoy the view over the adjacent farmland. Kerridge is a small village to the North East of Macclesfield close to the Peak Park having an attractive selection of stone built properties including farm houses and a couple of pubs. There are shops for every day needs within the neighbouring village of Bollington, plus primary schools and a leisure centre. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in Macclesfield town centre, including a mainline rail station. A regular bus service runs from Kerridge into Macclesfield.
