5 bedroom detached house for sale

A charming, detached period cottage in a wonderful rural position within an easy stroll of The Dog Inn, standing in lovely gated grounds including gardens and a paddock, in all about 1.2 acres.

Ivy Cottage is a really pretty house standing on the edge of Snelson village within just half a mile of Over Peover and The Dog Inn. The house sits within good sized gated gardens, which extend to the front, side and rear and include landscaped lawns with planted borders and a large entertaining terrace directly to the rear of the house. Adjoining the driveway is a useful fenced paddock and there is an adjacent pond - half of which is owned by Ivy Cottage.

The house was extended and refurbished some years ago and has a really good flow internally, extending to about 2,200 sq ft or thereabouts. There is some flexibility with the way it is used as the configuration allows for a separate annex at one end of the house.

A wooden floored entrance hall with WC gives access to all three of the reception rooms which include a front facing sitting room with open fire, a smaller snug to the rear currently used as a study, and a large open-plan kitchen dining family room which enjoys a dual aspect, including several sets of french doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of hand painted cabinets with stone work surfaces and there is enough space for a good sized dining table, the family area also having a built-in media wall provides ample seating space for day to day living. Beyond the kitchen is a rear vestibule and utility room, an excellent ground floor bedroom/further reception room and an en suite shower room. Accessed via a spiral staircase is a mezzanine room which would make a superb study or studio.

In the main body of the house upstairs are four bedrooms - the principle bedroom with an en suite shower room, and the three remaining double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Remote gates give access to the driveway - a large shingle parking area is situated at the front of the house, there is a small range of timber stables and a useful timber summer house.
