Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • A stunning period cottage
  • Standing in a 0.21 acre plot
  • Fully renovated to an exceptional standard
  • Potential for development
  • EPC Band F

Standing within gardens and grounds extending to 0.21 acres this stunning fully renovated period cottage is situated in a popular sought after village which has ease of access to Congleton and Macclesfield. The property has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard by the current owners and offers contemporary living within a characterful home. Properties of this level of character and charm rarely come onto the open market.


The house stands within stunning landscaped gardens which are of a very good size with well stocked borders, secluded areas of lawn and a lovely patio area adjoining the house itself. The house is approached via a private driveway through timber gates and this opens to a large parking area where there is also tremendous scope to construct a garage if required (subject to planning permission) or potentially obtain planning for a further detached home.


The accommodation itself is beautifully appointed with attention to detail evident throughout and in particular the joinery including the windows, doors and kitchen are to a very high standard and has been carried out in a large part by a well known and respected Macclesfield joiner. The arrangement of the accommodation is briefly as follows: Entrance porch opening to a spacious open plan lounge/sitting room with Cheshire brick fireplace housing a wood burner. This in turn leads to a separate dining room, cloakroom with WC and beautifully appointed kitchen with in frame units, oak and granite working surfaces, Rangemaster duel fuel range cooker and a range of other appliances including a built in coffee machine. The kitchen opens to a rear vestibule and this in turn opens to a useful utility room again fitted to a high standard.


To the first floor, the airy landing leads to three bedrooms and a well appointed shower room. Outside, in addition to the gardens there is an attached brick built workshop, and timber shed.


Directions - from The Plough public house in the centre of Eaton, proceed along Macclesfield Road in the direction of Macclesfield. The cottage itself will be found after a short distance on the right. The driveway entrance is approximately 60m beyond the cottage (What3words - pleaser.overhaul.seriously). Enter the driveway and bear to the right following the driveway with the open field to your left. The gates to the Old Police Cottage will then be found on your right.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 11, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 11, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on June 20, 2023 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
