A beautifully extended thatched country home set within 2.1 acres of south-facing grounds, offering 4,311 sq ft of characterful accommodation & a self-contained annexe.
Description
Set behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, Bluebell Cottage is a captivating thatched country home that perfectly combines historic charm with the space, functionality and lifestyle credentials of a modern family residence. Extending to approximately 4,311 sq ft including the detached annexe and garage buildings, the property occupies a glorious plot of around 2.18 acres, surrounded by beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens and open countryside.
Believed to have evolved over time through carefully considered additions, the home retains all the romance and character synonymous with a period cottage whilst offering an exceptional arrangement of accommodation designed for contemporary living. Wisteria-clad elevations, exposed timbers, oak joinery, natural stone flooring and parquet wood floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout, while generous room proportions and excellent ceiling heights bring a wonderful sense of light and space.
The accommodation is centred around an impressive kitchen and dining room, measuring over 28 feet in length and forming the true heart of the home. Beautifully appointed with a central island, granite work surfaces, banquette seating and a traditional four-oven Aga, it is a space designed equally for family gatherings and large-scale entertaining. A substantial utility room and boot room provide excellent practicality and connect seamlessly to the principal living areas.
The ground floor offers an outstanding range of reception space, extending to more than 2,000 sq ft. A charming garden room opens directly from the kitchen, blurring the boundaries between inside and out, whilst the elegant living room enjoys a striking wood-burning stove and views across the grounds. An impressive oak-panelled cinema room provides a unique entertaining space, while a generous study offers an ideal environment for home working. Together, these rooms create a home of remarkable versatility, capable of adapting effortlessly to both family life and entertaining.
The first floor provides four individually designed bedrooms, each rich in character. The impressive principal suite enjoys a private position with a luxurious en suite bathroom and dressing area, whilst three further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A secondary staircase leading to the fourth bedroom enhances the cottage's charm and reflects its period heritage.
Complementing the main house is a delightful self-contained annexe, extending to almost 400 sq ft. Incorporating an open-plan kitchen and living space, bedroom, bathroom and mezzanine area, it offers exceptional flexibility for guests, dependent relatives, older children, staff accommodation or home-working requirements.
Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the house itself. The formal gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of outdoor rooms, combining expansive lawns, mature hedging and colourful planting with an outstanding contemporary entertaining area. A recently created alfresco entertainment terrace, complete with outdoor kitchen, bar, pizza oven and spa, provides a spectacular setting for hosting family and friends throughout the year.
Beyond the gardens lies a substantial paddock, further enhancing the property's lifestyle appeal and offering potential for equestrian use, recreational pursuits or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Rarely does a home of such character offer the scale and practicality expected by modern buyers. Bluebell Cottage is a distinguished country residence that successfully marries period charm with contemporary family living, creating a truly special home in one of Cheshire's most sought-after rural locations.

Nearby Wilmslow (4.5 miles) further enhances the lifestyle offering with a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.

Manchester Airport (7.9 miles) is also readily accessible, offering an extensive range of domestic and international destinations.
