Honeysuckle Cottage

Occupying a truly idyllic position with far-reaching views towards Kerridge Ridge, Honeysuckle House is the epitome of a quintessential country cottage, beautifully constructed in local stone beneath a traditional flagged roof. Yet behind its charming facade lies a thoughtfully reimagined and impressively spacious home.

Originally two separate cottages, the property was skilfully combined by the current owners, who have created a stunning and cohesive residence. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout, blending retained period character with high-quality contemporary finishes, bespoke joinery, and modern insulation to ensure exceptional comfort year-round.

The accommodation is both versatile and inviting, comprising a porch, entrance hall, cloakroom, and a cosy snug. At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan family room and dining kitchen, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a light-filled sun porch, utility room, and additional W.C.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while three further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. The property is fronted by attractive sash windows and has the benefit of gas fired central heating.

Externally, the property is set back from Rainow Road behind a charming and picturesque green, and a garage provides off-road parking and useful storage. To the rear, accessed via Penny Lane, there are two additional parking spaces leading to a delightful sunken garden, offering a high degree of privacy alongside beautiful countryside views. A lovely front terrace provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the outlook towards the Ridge.

Rainow continues to be a highly sought-after village, prized for its stunning surrounding countryside and strong community spirit, while still offering convenient access to nearby amenities.
