Forming one of a pair of Peckforton Estate cottages, dating from circa 1860, 2 Fountain Cottages is an attractive double-fronted family home offering flexible accommodation over two floors. While in need of some modernisation, the property offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create a stunning home combining the amenities of modern living with retained period features.
The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises a generous front aspect sitting room with feature exposed brick open fireplace flanked on each side by bespoke storage and a well-proportioned kitchen with door to the rear terrace and to a neighbouring external store, easily re-integrable into the main property (STP). The ground floor accommodation is completed by an L-shaped front aspect dining room with built-in storage and leads to the family bathroom. A concealed staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor which provides two further well-proportioned double bedrooms.
Set behind low-level stone walling, the cottage is approached through a picket gate over a front garden laid mainly to level lawn and benefits from a second picket gate opening to gravelled parking. The remaining generous garden to the side and rear of the property is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn bordered by mature hedging and features a large stone-built outbuilding with an opensided store opening into a 17 ft. room with a door to the garden, the whole suitable for a variety of uses. There is also a raised terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying stunning far-reaching views over surrounding countryside.
Originally recorded in the Domesday Book and enjoying a spectacular setting near to the Peckforton Hills and Sandstone Trail, Peckforton is a peaceful small village in the beautiful Cheshire countryside complete with public house, country hotel and a regular bus service to Bickerton Primary School and Bishop Heber High School. The nearby villages of Bunbury, Tarporley and Malpas offer a good selection of day-to-day shopping amenities and schooling.
More extensive sporting, leisure and retail facilities can be found in the neighbouring town of Nantwich and in Chester. The area offers a wide range of state, primary and secondary schooling including Tarporley High School and Sixth Form College, Bishop Heber High School (both rated Outstanding by Ofsted), together with a good selection of independent schools including Abbey Gate College, The Kings, The Hammond, The Queens, The Firs and The Grange.
