The Property.
Occupying a prominent and attractive position along Wrexham Road in the desirable village of Faddiley, Dragon Cottage is a beautifully presented three-bedroom detached period home, set within a generous plot. Bursting with original character, the cottage showcases exposed beams throughout, traditional joinery, and a warmth that can only come from a home of this era.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced, Dragon Cottage blends historic charm with modern comfort, offering flexible living spaces, generous gardens, and a setting that feels both private and connected. This is a home that immediately welcomes you in and invites you to stay.
Reception Rooms.
The main living room is a true centrepiece, a beautifully proportioned and inviting space, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A characterful brick fireplace with log-burning stove creates a striking focal point, while the deep bay window allows natural light to pour in and frames views over the garden. Exposed beams and traditional detailing add warmth and texture, making this a room that feels cosy yet spacious throughout the seasons.
Complementing this is a separate dining room, rich in period charm, with exposed timber framing and beams running along the walls and ceiling. Ideal for family meals or hosting guests, this room offers a more intimate setting while remaining well connected to the rest of the home.
Flexible Living.
At the heart of the cottage sits the kitchen, a characterful and practical space that perfectly suits the style of the home. Featuring a substantial range cooker, stone flooring, timber worktops, and open shelving, it is both functional and full of personality. The exposed beams overhead reinforce the cottage feel, while the layout provides excellent workspace for keen cooks and entertainers alike.
A separate utility and laundry room offers valuable additional storage and everyday practicality, with space for appliances and access to the garden. A ground-floor WC is tucked neatly off the hallway, finished in a style that complements the home’s traditional character.
A dedicated home office on the ground floor provides a highly desirable and versatile space, ideal for remote working, study, or creative use, without encroaching on the main living areas.
Bedrooms.
The first floor mirrors the charm of the ground floor, with three characterful bedrooms featuring exposed beams, sloping ceilings, traditional doors, and cleverly designed built-in storage.
The principal bedroom is a generous double with a vaulted ceiling and dormer window, creating a bright and airy retreat. The second is also a comfortable double, full of character with painted floorboards and integrated storage. The third bedroom is a versatile space, ideal for a child, guest, or home office, with fitted wardrobes tucked beneath the eaves.
Together, the bedrooms blend period charm with practical modern living, appealing to couples, families, and downsizers alike.
Bathrooms.
The family bathroom is a standout feature, combining period elegance with modern luxury. A beautiful freestanding roll-top bath takes centre stage, complemented by exposed floorboards, traditional fittings, and a separate walk-in shower enclosure. Finished in a style that reflects the age of the cottage, it feels indulgent, spacious, and perfectly in keeping with the home’s character.
In addition, the first floor also benefits from a separate standalone shower room. On the ground floor, a cloakroom WC adds everyday practicality, thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage’s traditional charm and ideal for guests and family use alike.
Outdoor Living.
Set within approximately 0.17 acres, the gardens at Dragon Cottage are a wonderful extension of the home. The plot wraps comfortably around the property, providing a strong sense of privacy and space. Well-maintained lawns, established hedging, and seating areas create an ideal environment for outdoor dining, relaxing, or gardening.
A gated driveway provides secure parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached garage, offering additional storage, workshop potential, or secure parking. The layout offers excellent potential for entertaining while remaining manageable, perfect for those seeking countryside living without the upkeep of a large estate. The gardens enjoy a pleasant outlook and a peaceful village setting, enhancing the overall lifestyle appeal.
Location.
Faddiley is a sought-after Cheshire village, known for its rural charm, scenic surroundings, and strong sense of community. Surrounded by open countryside, the area offers excellent walking and outdoor opportunities, while remaining within easy reach of Nantwich and its wide range of shops, schools, cafés, and amenities.
For commuters, the location provides convenient access to Crewe, with its mainline railway station offering direct services to London and Manchester, alongside good road connections to surrounding towns and villages.
