Wincle, Macclesfield, Cheshire

CHURCHBANK COTTAGE

A characterful Grade II Listed cottage situated in the popular village of Wincle.

In the rolling countryside just minutes from the main town centre is this charming three-bedroom, two reception room semi-detached cottage nestled into the Cheshire countryside. Set with its own garden, ample parking, and air source heating.

With beautiful views over the Cheshire countryside, this sympathetically renovated home has been finished to an exceptionally high standard whilst complementing many of the original features, ideal for a ready-to-move-into family home, holiday home and/or holiday let.

GROUND FLOOR

As you enter through the main front door, this gives you the option of two spacious reception rooms. The one to the right has been set up as the living room, with stunning examples of stone mullioned lead windows, and a beautiful stone fireplace with a log burner to enjoy relaxing evenings. An old useful kitchen hatch is still present and has the benefit of central heating and windows to both sides of the room, allowing ample natural light.

The secondary reception room has been set up as a dining room with a study area, all featured around a magnificent ornate decorative fireplace which is simply the standout feature in the cottage. The wood beamed ceilings throughout these two reception rooms are stunning and the excellent craftmanship is still present and apparent to this day.

To the rear of the property is a contrasting modern kitchen diner, with the staircase to the first floor. A modern white shaker style kitchen with a gloss finish and wooden worktops, with ample space for a dining table and all the ‘day-to-day’ appliances one would need. There is space to the rear for an American Style Fridge freezer and a door to the rear of the property. Complete with windows to the rear and side for ample natural light.

SELLER INSIGHT

We would describe the property as a picture perfect, chocolate-box country cottage and we fell in love with it at first sight. It’s very pretty and has characterful features inside and out, including climbing roses over the front door and a working antique range in the formal dining room,” say the owners.

“Nestled away in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, the ever-popular village of Wincle has a big sense of community and plenty of events and clubs for all ages, including the Wincle Fete and Trout Run, WI group, and history society. There’s never any pressure to get involved, so you can do as much or as little as you like. We have some lovely walks right from our doorstep which is ideal for blowing the cobwebs away before ending up in the Rose and Crown for the most excellent Sunday lunch. Highly recommended!”

“We tend to spend most of the summer in the garden as it’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The outside space has been professionally landscaped to include a patio area, drystone wall, lawn, and different tiers. The summerhouse is the most wonderful spot to sit with a drink and enjoy the lovely views, whilst the patio is ideal for BBQs and get-togethers with family and friends. We’re surrounded by trees and countryside, so the range of birdlife is quite spectacular and includes owls, woodpeckers, sparrowhawks, and buzzards, as well as the usual complement of garden birds.”

“The kitchen diner is a well-used room in our house as it’s ideal for eating together and there’s plenty of space for cooking and baking. We’ve had some great times at Christmas with our family in the dining room before we all head into the comfortable lounge to relax in front of the log burner in the feature stone fireplace. I also really like the vaulted ceilings in the two main bedrooms as it makes them feel so light and airy.”

“We’ve lived here for just over seven years and have made a range of improvements which has increased the efficiency and warmth of the property. We removed the old storage heaters and added an air source heat pump system with new radiators which complement the charm of the cottage. We also added extra insulation in the partially boarded loft which has helped to reduce energy consumption and it’s a great place for storage too.”*
