2 Bedroom Property for Sale in Congleton

A unique and rare opportunity to purchase the epitome of a quite quintessential country cottage situated in an idyllic setting with the bubbling Tommys Brook flowing along the banks of this property's garden. Such is the location that summer days can be whiled away relaxing to the sound of the familiar 'ping' of golfers enjoying the course at Congleton just over the brook. This gorgeous cottage, we believe, dates to Circa 1830, and is discreetly tucked on the unspoilt Castle Inn Road which creates a feeling of being in the midst of the countryside, yet amazingly is so conveniently located, that the towns railway station and the local shops at Hightown can be found within walking distance, with the main town centre also closeby.Needless to say we are sure for those searching for a change in lifestyle will be suitably charmed with what Bracken Cottage has to offer. The current vendors have sympathetically improved the accommodation with the introduction of a new kitchen, whilst retaining original features this home was borne with, yet, concessions to modern day living is the installation of gas fired central heating and double glazed windows.The stable door at the front entrance leads into the distinctive dining kitchen with Belfast sink, with a door leading into the sitting room with an open coal fireplace. To the first floor are two bedrooms and bathroom.Outside and to the rear is a very private and established lawned garden, with a detached garage to the side, and enclosed cottage courtyard garden to the front, complete with a double width driveway. At the front and over Castle Inn Road is the main lawned garden extending to approximately 120ft in length and is a beautiful area to enjoy and ideally suited for alfresco entertaining with the winding Tommys Brook lapping at the gardens banks.An early viewing is urged to avoid disappointment, and note must also be taken that subject to local authority consents, extending the existing accommodation may also be a possibility.
