London Road, Walgherton Guide Price £520,000

Opportunity to own a delightful country residence standing in a substantial plot with good communications to local towns and facilities. Has close historical connections to Lord ‘Jock’ Delves Broughton and the Doddington Park Estate. The property exudes character and appeal in abundance bathed as it is in natural light throughout. Whilst the well- proportioned and versatile accommodation has been improved overtime this has been carried out sympathetically to retain its period character. Approaching along the extensive red gravelled drive you might be forgiven for thinking the cottage is detached with it being linked only via the rear aspect. Bow windows at the front aspect look out onto a mixture of colourful, mature shrubs either side of the wide drive. Whereupon a large first-floor Terrace above offers outstanding views across to Wybunbury’s unique church tower. White bark Birch trees provide a lovely back drop at the cottage boundaries. With a split-level lounge and spacious kitchen the cottage exudes interest and charm that most others will envy. With three to four sizeable bedrooms the accommodation is versatile and comfortable providing an opportunity to enjoy Cheshire at its rural best.
