Description

A Beautifully Refurbished Character Cottage in an Idyllic Countryside Setting

Nestled within the peaceful hamlet of Somerford Booths, in the beautiful rural setting of Wornish Nook this charming three-bedroom character cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high specification, seamlessly blending traditional charm with stylish modern living. Surrounded by open fields and enjoying a wonderfully tranquil outlook, the property offers an idyllic country lifestyle whilst remaining conveniently placed for both Congleton, Macclesfield and Holmes Chapel.

Internally, the accommodation is beautifully presented throughout. The welcoming formal lounge is rich in character and features a cosy multi-fuel burning stove, creating the perfect retreat during the cooler months. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with a contemporary range of units and integrated appliances, providing an inviting and sociable space for everyday living and entertaining.

An inner hallway has been cleverly utilised to provide valuable additional storage, whilst a ground-floor WC completes the accommodation at this level.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third single bedroom complemented by a beautifully refurbished and stylish shower room.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The rear garden provides a peaceful and private setting in which to relax, whilst the extensive gardens to the front are undoubtedly one of the home’s defining features. The current owner has devoted meticulous care and attention to creating a mature garden filled with natural beauty, incorporating an abundance of established trees, shrubs and planting.

An open garden room provides a delightful spot for leisurely summer afternoons or evening entertaining, while tucked away beyond the more formal garden is a charming hidden wild garden, offering the opportunity to create a wonderfully secluded retreat.
Also positioned within the grounds is a useful garden shed, providing excellent storage for gardening tools and equipment, together with ample space for the seasoning and storage of logs for the multi-fuel burner. Offering practical additional storage, it is ideal for keeping outdoor furniture, bicycles and other garden essentials neatly tucked away

An extensive gravelled driveway with access via private gates provides generous off-road parking for several vehicles, with ample space to accommodate a motorhome or caravan, if desired.

Despite its wonderfully rural feel, the cottage is far from isolated. Its highly sought-after location provides convenient access to local amenities, with both Congleton, Macclesfield, Alderley Edge and Holmes Chapel all within commuting distance, allowing purchasers to embrace the tranquillity of countryside living without sacrificing everyday convenience.
