A thoughtfully updated 19th century cottage set within private grounds, offering generous living space and a lovely rural setting.
Set beyond imposing private gates and positioned within beautifully tended grounds of approximately 0.45 acres, Wheelwright Cottage is an exceptional early 19th century home that has been sympathetically restored and significantly enlarged. Tastefully extended in 2005 and further refined in 2017, the property now presents as an exquisitely finished family residence combining period charm with contemporary comfort. Located in the highly desirable rural hamlet of Chapel End and within an easy stroll of Audlem village, the setting offers an idyllic balance of pastoral tranquillity and everyday convenience.
The house showcases an abundance of character features, including exposed beams and trusses, impressive fireplaces with multi fuel stoves, solid oak and limestone flooring, and a striking galleried landing. Bespoke arched timber windows and premium external doors crafted by Timber Windows of Knutsford further enhance the home's architectural appeal. Presentation throughout is exemplary, with light filled spaces and generous room proportions.
The ground floor centres around a remarkable open plan kitchen breakfast room with vaulted ceilings and skylights, complemented by a utility room, guest WC and four versatile reception rooms, including a superb family room, elegant lounge, formal dining room and a charming snug or home office.
To the first floor, a bright galleried landing leads to four well sized bedrooms, each enjoying open countryside views. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from stylish ensuite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes, while a beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
Externally, the gardens are a true highlight. Extensive lawns, mature borders and hedging wrap around the property, creating a wonderfully private environment. A gravel driveway leads to a detached double garage, while the south facing rear garden offers a generous terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Wheelwright Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional quality, beautifully positioned within a sought after rural setting and ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.
