Description
****
The picturesque cottage is privately positioned at the end of Gunco Lane, enjoying a stunning rural yet not isolated setting in Butley Town. Constructed with Cheshire brick, oak-framed windows and a stone roof, it is a truly quintessential Cheshire country cottage. Blending charming period features with a modern contemporary touch, this exceptional home offers the best of both worlds.
Upon entry via the porch and impressive oak door, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall. To the right is a large living room featuring a log-burning stove and exposed wooden beams, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room flows seamlessly into the orangery, which enjoys views over the beautifully landscaped gardens and the countryside beyond. To the left of the entrance hall is a front-to-back kitchen-diner, finished to a bespoke contemporary design and fitted with a full range of modern integrated appliances. A second reception room is accessed from the kitchen, while a utility room, WC and ample storage complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is centred around a stunning stained-glass feature window, originally crafted over 150 years ago, which allows natural light to flood the landing. This level comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys breathtaking countryside views, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two is also generously sized and benefits from a modern en-suite. The remaining two double bedrooms are served by a luxurious shower room.
Externally, the property occupies a private position at the end of the lane, set within approximately 0.7 acres. To the front is a generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, along with access to a detached double garage and carport. The garden features an attractive patio area and is surrounded by thoughtfully landscaped gardens that adjoin open Cheshire fields and countryside.
