Originally constructed by the Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction Railway near to their route linking Chester with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, this former railwayman’s cottage is situated at Pipers Ash due to its proximity to the nearby Mickle Trafford junction leading to Manchester, so it is likely that the employees who lived in this property worked as permanent way staff as well as at the junction itself. The Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction Railway was subsequently taken over by the London and North Western Railway and then the Great Western Railway, and the cottage itself sold into private ownership. In recent years, this delightful house has had numerous improvements which include a small extension to one side, a refitted kitchen, a double glazed conservatory/dining room, a gas-fired condensing combination central heating/hot water boiler and a useful driveway, all of which complement its superb location, which whilst semi-rural is also within easy reach of the wider north-west road communications network, fast and efficient railway services from Chester General Station, and of course the historic Roman city and all of its attendant amenities. In addition to all of these things, this lovely cottage also has the benefit of double glazed windows, connections to all mains services and accommodation which is described in detail below.
