OVERVIEW WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN and May Cottage has made a lovely home for our sellers for the last 24 years. They have extended the property substantially with a double storey extension to the side and a single storey extension behind. They have increased the size of the immediate gardens from some of the paddock and it is only right to say, quite nicely done! There is now a large garden space where you can enjoy your sun all day long and watch the beautiful sunsets.

They also constructed a double garage which they insulated with Kingspan, paddock facing and Skylight windows and with planning permission and some more work, would make a lovely annexe/holiday let enjoying the same amazing outlooks as you will in the main residence.

We think the Cottage itself will impress as much as everything else that comes as a rare and unique offering. It is ideally set by the farm in this beautiful Countryside village and is part of a row of three other attractive semi detached cottages. The living space downstairs could be described as impressive. The entrance hall opens to a large open plan living space/family room with lounge, tv, dining and kitchen areas. All offer the aforementioned outlooks which we believe look quite spectacular in the snow!

The other reception room is a room in itself and could be just as useful as a separate lounge/sitting room just as it might as a study/home office or even a fourth or occasional bedroom. This lovely room features what we believe to be the original cast iron fireplace and really catches the morning sun. The flooring is Oak throughout with the exception of the kitchen which is quarry tile. Recessed lighting runs throughout the family room and the lounge area features bi-fold doors that open onto your garden.

The lounge and kitchen areas and the bathroom are all part of the single storey extension at the back of the property and feature higher sloping ceilings.

Moving upstairs and you will find three double bedrooms and all enjoy Countryside outlooks! The master bedroom benefits further with these outlooks from all three possible sides which include full height glazing over your garden to wake to.

The shower room was refitted with this stylish suite that comprises of a walk in shower with chrome thermostatic shower. A wash basin and low level WC with a timber unit to conceal the cistern completes the suite and there is high level lighting to both sides of the shower area set within beam casing.

The gardens have been well thought out and enjoy a colourful variety of mature plants. There is an attractive brick paviour footpath that runs the perimeter of the cottage and the same type of brick has been used to create a feature that you can enjoy from the lounge area. It is only right to say the garden has been lovingly cared for over the years and the only way to appreciate is to go and see for yourself.

May Cottage really is a unique offering. It really is one of those unique offerings that rarely comes to market and with two potentially lucrative incomes we can't whole heartedly recommend a viewing highly enough.
 

THE SHOCKLACH LIFESTYLE Set in the open Cheshire countryside; the village of Shocklach is located in the South-West of Cheshire approximately 1km from the River Dee which forms part of the border between England and Wales. The village has a primary school and a pub restaurant where a warm welcome and a fine selection of quality food and drink is always available. The village church of St Edith's dates from the 12th century and is a scheduled Grade-I listed sandstone building.

A favourite amongst nature-lovers, the village is home to a rich biodiversity and is a Site and an Area of Nature Conservation Value (SNCV and ANCV respectively) as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). To celebrate the late Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, fifty native Oak trees were planted at Shocklach Primary School, St Edith's church and also along the approach road to Shocklach creating a wonderful first or lasting impression of the village. There are numerous country routes for walking and cycling. Fishing is also popular in the area with Salmon being most often caught in the sections of the River Dee between Shocklach up to Bala Lake.

However, although the village of Shocklach enjoys a rural setting, residents are certainly not isolated. The beautiful Cheshire town of Malpas with its High Street maintains a variety of independent traders and the picturesque village of Tilston with its village store and pub are both under four miles away. The town of Malpas has won the Best Kept Village award for Cheshire on a number of occasions and also boasts a number of pub restaurants and other amenities. There is also a school bus service to the OFSTED rated 'Outstanding' Bishops Heber High School and 6th form at Malpas from Shocklach village.

You will also find a further wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants in the unique set up of the popular villages of what is Farndon and Holt, separated by a beautiful river crossing. Farndon itself has two pubs that have both been recently renovated. The Carden Park complex is also close by that includes a beautiful hotel with Country club, spa and two golf courses. One is a Jack Nicklauss championship course and one of only five in the Country.

The nearest City is Wrexham which is about a ten minute drive. Here you will find a variety of supermarkets and super markets as well as the excellent Total Fitness health club, the Wrexham Business and Industrial Park. Chester is about a 30 minute drive whilst the airports and the North Wales Coast are about an hour making May Cottage and Shocklach strong contenders for your upcoming move.
