Accommodation
Built in 1898, The Cottage provides an opportunity to acquire a character-filled home. The front door opens directly into the main living room, complete with an open fire set within a brick fireplace with timber mantle and tiled hearth. Opening off the living room is a snug room with quarry tiled floor, and with an open fire set within a similar brick fireplace with timber mantle and slate hearth. The kitchen lies to the rear of the property, currently offering wall and base units, a stainless-steel sink unit, electric hob and oven, and spaces for white appliances. A side door leads outside.
To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, plus a bathroom with bath with shower attachment, wash hand basin, WC, and airing cupboard.
A loft space covering the full width of the property provides the potential for storage.
Gardens and grounds
To the front of the property is a small garden enclosed by a picket fence. There is also a paved area providing parking.
The rear garden, found to the rear of the adjoining property and with rural views, is approached via an enclosed pathway.

Situation
The Cottage is situated in the rural village of Snelson, which lies to the southeast of Knutsford and is home to notable residents and distinguished properties. Local amenities can be found in the neighbouring village of Chelford, including an independently owned butcher, local store, Chelford Farm Supplies and The Egerton Arms pub. A wider range of shops is available in the nearby market town of Knutsford or in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.
On the educational front, the area is well catered for with Chelford Primary School, Peover Superior Endowed Primary School, and Knutsford High School nearby. There are exceptional independent schools including King’s Macclesfield and Alderley Edge School for Girls within a short drive.
