This lovely Cheshire-brick property has spectacular views towards The Edge.

Believed to date back to the early 1700s in part, this delightful country four-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage in the sought-after rural surroundings of Alderley Edge is full of charm and character, with beamed ceilings and exposed A-frame trusses, décor in pretty farmhouse style and fabulous views across farmland to The Edge.

The original property has been extended over the years and is now ideal for modern-day living. There’s a comfortable drawing room and separate sitting room (both with French doors to the gardens), dining hall and breakfast kitchen with AGA and views across the 0.61 acre gardens, featuring mature hedges, well-stocked borders and a large lawned area. There’s also a utility room and WC.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en suite shower room and there are three additional double bedrooms with a family bathroom, plus a study.

The grounds house a large, detached double garage and work room/garden store above, which has been converted into an independent one-bedroom apartment with shower room, sitting room and kitchen.

Price: £1.8 million,
