Occupying a truly enviable hilltop position with breath taking panoramic views stretching across Manchester’s skyline, the Cheshire countryside, and towards the Peak District, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom country cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the perfect balance of rural charm and modern living. Thoughtfully restored to an exceptional standard, the property seamlessly combines timeless character with high-quality contemporary finishes, creating a home of undeniable warmth and appeal.
From the moment you arrive, it is immediately apparent that this charming cottage is something special. Original features, including exposed oak beams and beautifully restored wooden flooring, have been carefully preserved, while sympathetic renovations have enhanced the home’s traditional character without compromising on modern comfort.
The ground floor welcomes you via a practical entrance porch, leading into a wonderfully inviting living room that exudes charm and character. A cosy gas log burner creates an attractive focal point, making this the perfect space to unwind, while ample room for both living and dining furniture makes it equally suited to entertaining family and friends.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning newly renovated cottage-style kitchen. Beautifully crafted with bespoke handmade cabinetry, it offers a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality. A stylish SMEG electric oven complements the space, alongside designated areas for a washing machine and fridge freezer. The striking handmade copper sink enjoys delightful views over the rear garden, adding a unique finishing touch to this thoughtfully designed room. Beyond the kitchen, a useful rear porch provides excellent additional storage and pantry space, with direct access to the garden.
The first floor continues to impress with a generous landing that offers the flexibility to create a peaceful home office or reading area, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the natural light. The principal bedroom is a spacious double complete with fitted wardrobes and enjoys truly spectacular far-reaching views across Manchester city centre and beyond, providing a remarkable backdrop to everyday life. The second bedroom is equally charming, overlooking the rear garden and enjoying uninterrupted views towards the Peak District. Completing the accommodation is the beautifully appointed family bathroom, newly fitted with a contemporary shower enclosure, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail, and finished to a superb standard while enjoying the same stunning elevated outlook.
Unusually for a cottage of this age, the property benefits from well-proportioned rooms and notably high ceilings throughout, creating a wonderful sense of space and enhancing the abundance of natural light.
Outside, the lifestyle on offer is every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself. The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with low maintenance in mind, being predominantly laid to patio and providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
To the front, a private driveway provides convenient off-road parking. Directly opposite the property are two substantial storage sheds, offering excellent practical storage, alongside an additional patio or driveway area. Steps lead down to a private lawned garden, an idyllic spot to relax and take in the evening sunshine while enjoying uninterrupted, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and city skyline. Whether admired from inside the home or from the beautifully positioned gardens, the ever-changing scenery is simply spectacular throughout the seasons.
