Description

Occupying a delightful rural setting with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, this exceptional detached four bedroom country cottage offers approximately 2,000 sq.ft. of beautifully presented accommodation, combining generous living space with an outstanding outdoor lifestyle. Finished to an excellent standard throughout, the property is perfectly suited to growing families or those seeking a peaceful country home with landscaped gardens and a paddock.

Location - The property is located in the hamlet of Agden between Malpas and Whitchurch.

Malpas is a busy and very well-regarded popular village in Southwest Cheshire, it enjoys the benefits of several very good schools, restaurants, pubs, doctors’ surgery and a selection of local shops. The village has recently been in the spotlight in the press as it has earned recognition as one of the UK's top places to live in 2025 by The Sunday Times. It has a historic church situated in the heart of the village which showcases its heritage with stunning 12th Century architecture. The nearby Beeston and Bickerton Hills can offer some of the best views in Cheshire, and Bolesworth castle, some of the most unforgettable family events including the Bolesworth International Horse Show.

The town of Whitchurch is a short drive away and has 4 supermarkets, railway station, different local shops, churches, leisure centres and other activities.

There is excellent road access to Chester, Wrexham, North Wales & the North West.

Chester is one of the North West’s leading retail and commercial centres and provides access to the motorway and rail networks. London Euston can be reached in about 2 hours from Chester. Crewe and Whitchurch Stations also offer a regular service to Manchester Piccadilly. By car, Malpas is within easy reach of the A41 with Whitchurch to the south and a short drive from Chester.

Brief Description - Halls are delighted to be instructed to sell Agden Bank Cottage by private treaty.

The welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious reception hall, creating an impressive first impression. The heart of the home is the superb living room, featuring an attractive fireplace with log burner that provides a warm and inviting focal point, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The spacious kitchen/dining room offers an excellent social space with ample room for family meals and gatherings, whilst a cloakroom off the hall with W.C and laundry facilities adds everyday practicality.

A particular feature of the property is the versatile man cave, providing the perfect space for hobbies, a games room or home office. In addition, the former garage has been thoughtfully retained as a highly useful internal store room, offering extensive storage or workshop potential.

To the first floor, a generous landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying wonderful views across the adjoining countryside. The spacious family bathroom is beautifully appointed. The property has gas fired heating and double-glazed windows.

There is also an EV Charger point.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderful outdoor retreat, featuring an expansive decked entertaining area, generous lawns, colourful flower borders and an attractive summer house. Beyond the garden, gates open directly into the adjoining paddock, offering endless possibilities as grazing land for animals, a productive kitchen garden, an orchard or simply additional recreational space.
