Quintessentially Cheshire: an expansive five-bedroom house pertinent to the heritage of Alderley Edge with impeccable interiors and commanding views.

Alderley Cottage is a wonderfully generous and characterful home set in an elevated position with sweeping views across the Cheshire Plain to the Welsh hills. A respect for the past and present is evident in this unique, and very special village property. The house has a late 17th-century core, with substantial contemporary additions built in a highly sympathetic manner. It features in ‘The Villas of Alderley Edge’ book by Matthew Hyde, and as such is one of the most distinguished homes in the village. The property has been in the same family for about 80 years, and the current owners have created an effortlessly warm and welcoming space that pays homage to the period of the property while reflecting modern family life.

The house opens to a stone-flagged hallway and statement oak staircase where light pours through a stained-glass window and thoughtfully placed skylights.

Throughout, the interior is a seamless dialogue between contemporary and classic, centred with a prodigiously proportioned yet inviting Tom Howley kitchen and equally large drawing room on the far side. Connections between the house and gardens are strong; French doors and large bay windows open the interior to the terraced lawn. At the street side is the dining hall, where features such as leaded windows, parquet flooring and timber panelling give an intimate feel.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms including the principal bedroom with en suite. There are two further bathrooms and a light-filled kitchen/sitting room, providing integrated living facility for flexible family use, with views that continue for miles.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

Part of the joy of this property is that whilst it is a village house, it revels in incredible views. Set on a gentle slope, the house is surrounded by nature with cobble and pea gravel pathways that meander some 0.36 acres of gardens; all beautifully landscaped, including a summer house and a terrace for entertaining. A security gated entrance opens onto a stone sett driveway and detached double garage, with ample parking and turning area for numerous cars. With its back to Congleton Road, the house occupies a central position in Alderley Edge, its white stucco facade well-screened by a mature hedge, providing a high degree of privacy.

Council Tax Band H
Tenure: The majority of the property is Freehold, with a small proportion that covers the drive and the garaging beingheld under a Leasehold title.
