Surrounded by leafy surroundings and enjoying a peaceful semi-rural setting, it's the kind of home that feels like a quiet escape, yet remains just a short distance from Poynton village, local amenities, and excellent transport links. Whether you're taking your first step onto the property ladder, searching for a characterful home to downsize into, or simply looking for somewhere with a little more personality, this delightful cottage has a warmth that's hard to ignore. A canopy porch welcomes you inside, where the cosy living room immediately sets the tone. A recessed fireplace with a log-burning stove creates an inviting focal point, making it the perfect place to curl up on cooler evenings. Stairs rise to the first floor, while glazed double doors open into the dining kitchen, allowing the ground floor to feel both connected and sociable. Positioned at the rear of the property, the dining kitchen is filled with natural light from windows to two elevations and French doors opening onto the private stone patio. The traditional cream kitchen units complement the cottage's character beautifully, while the gas-fired AGA provides both a practical centrepiece and a timeless country feel. It's a room made for slow breakfasts, home-cooked meals, and evenings spent with family and friends. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly special, benefiting from a comprehensive range of fitted furniture and doors opening onto a private balcony. With its south-westerly aspect and views across neighbouring gardens towards Davenport Golf Course, it's a wonderful place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind as the sun begins to set. The stylish shower room has been finished in a contemporary style, creating a fresh contrast to the home's traditional charm. Outside, the cottage continues to impress. A pretty front garden enhances the property's kerb appeal, while electric gates open onto a private gravel driveway, providing secure off-road parking and adding to the home's sense of privacy. To the rear, a beautifully paved courtyard offers a private and low-maintenance outdoor space that's ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Combining period charm, a sought-after semi-rural setting, and beautiful views, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye. Character cottages in locations such as this are always in demand, making this a wonderful opportunity for its next owner to simply move in and enjoy. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556184) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556185) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556186) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556187) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556188) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556189) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556190) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556191) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556192) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556193) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556194) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556195) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556196) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556197) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556198) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556199) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/91485459/2556200) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/91485459/2556201) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/91485459/2556202) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
