A beautifully extended thatched country home set within 2.18 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 combining historic charm with the space, functionality and lifestyle credentials sought by today’s rental market. Extending to approximately 4,311 sq ft including the detached annexe and garage buildings, the property occupies an impressive 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 providing an exceptional arrangement of accommodation ideally suited to modern family 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 provide 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 superb space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A substantial utility room and boot room provide excellent practicality and connect seamlessly with 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, creating a natural connection with the gardens, whilst the elegant living room enjoys a striking wood burning stove and views across the grounds. An impressive oak panelled cinema room provides a fantastic additional entertaining space, while a generous study is ideally suited to home working. Together, these rooms provide considerable flexibility for tenants seeking both generous family accommodation and dedicated spaces for working 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 further enhances the individuality and period character of the house.
Complementing the main residence 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 provides exceptional flexibility for visiting family and guests, dependent relatives, older children, staff or those requiring additional space to work from home.
Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the house itself. The formal gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of attractive outdoor spaces, combining expansive lawns, mature hedging and colourful planting with an outstanding contemporary entertaining area. A recently created alfresco terrace complete with outdoor kitchen, bar, pizza oven and spa provides a superb setting for entertaining and enjoying the gardens throughout the warmer months.
Beyond the formal gardens lies a substantial paddock, further enhancing the lifestyle offered by the property and providing additional space for recreational or equestrian use, subject to the necessary arrangements and consents.
Bluebell Cottage represents a rare opportunity within the Cheshire rental market, offering tenants the character and privacy of a distinguished country home alongside the scale, versatility and amenities required for contemporary family living. Its combination of extensive accommodation, separate annexe, exceptional gardens and private rural setting creates a particularly compelling long term rental proposition.
This property is located in an area where there are working farms and noise may occasionally be heard. However, it is generally minimal and does not affect the enjoyment of the home. We encourage prospective tenants to visit the area and satisfy themselves regarding local conditions before applying.
