Timbersbrook is a pretty hamlet, situated just to the west of Congleton and lying approximately 10 minutes distant by car.
Pool Bank Cottages comprise of just four individual properties, all benefitting amazing elevated and panoramic views over rolling countryside to the rear, whist the iconic local landmark 'The Cloud' rises magnificently to its peak to the front. Extending over the distant Cheshire plain, the glorious views would be difficult to replicate elsewhere.
The environment is undoubtedly for those wanting the peace and tranquillity of such a location. For passionate outdoor folk, as well as those with four-legged family members to regularly exercise, Timbersbrook lies on the fringe of the Peak District National Park, offering not only an abundance of countryside walking routes, but also leafy waterside towpaths along the, almost neighbouring, Macclesfield Canal.
Although this rather idyllic and somewhat privileged location may suggest a sense of isolation, Congleton's vibrant town centre is actually conveniently situated just a ten minute drive away, whilst the slightly larger town of Macclesfield, with its mainline Manchester Piccadilly (23 minutes) and London Euston (1.45 hours) can be reached in approximately fifteen minutes.
Number 2 Pool Bank Cottages actually extends to include the once neighbouring cottage, creating an expansive and useable home.
The main ground floor living space is now of an open and airy design; naturally bright due to the fabulous south-facing orientation of the rear elevation. This open-plan living space, maximises functionality, whilst also allowing absolute adaptation and flexibility of how the space is utilised.
The period-style replacement front door, as well as the bespoke-crafted two-storey front elevation sash windows, sympathetically replicate the mid-nineteenth century character and architectural features the cottages historically maintained.
The front door opens to the convenience and practicality of an enclosed entrance vestibule. Here, coats, shoes and muddy boots can be stored before entering the main ground floor accommodation. The vestibule also acts as a separation from the cooler winter outside elements.
The previously mentioned open-plan design presents itself very well, allowing the L-shaped accommodation to create comfortable and snug relaxation space, as well as providing ample informal dining space. The original chimney breast remains in situ, and features a focal, period-style fireplace, with an open grate for real fires to be enjoyed during the colder seasons. French doors not only open to an elevated terrace, but also provide fabulous distant countryside views.
Adjacent to the main living space, a lovely cottage kitchen features a classic, whilst also contemporary, fitted cabinets, solid oak worktops, and a fantastic ceramic Belfast sink. This is a lovely kitchen space full of character and benefitting integrated cooking appliances. An understairs pantry-style cupboard retains a vintage storage feature of early Victoriana. A back door from the kitchen opens to the same roof terrace as the aforementioned living space opens to; thus making al fresco dining and entertaining work with great practicality.
From the living area, a kite winder-style staircase with a vaulted ceiling, rises to the first floor landing. The landing, bedrooms, and for that matter, the entire ground floor living accommodation, all feature surprisingly high ceilings for a cottage - perfect for the tallest of people to move around with ease and confidence.
The double-sized master bedroom offers great space, allowing ample room for bedroom furniture and a king-size bed. Elevated leafy views over The Cloud to the front, are simply a dream. The second double-sized bedroom also offers great space, as well as similar elevated views over The Cloud. The smaller third bedroom is perfect for a younger child, easily accommodating a single-sized bed and further bedroom storage furniture. This bedroom could also be utilised as a perfect home office and working space, enjoying inspirational views to the rear, over glorious open countryside.
A luxuriously-appointed bathroom, incorporates the choice of shower or bath, with the added benefit of an oversized walk-in shower and a period-style rolltop, four-claw, freestanding bath to choose from. This is a great space to unwind and indulge in some well deserved pampering.
The entire accommodation is warmed by a gas combination boiler, which efficiently heats both the central heating, as well as the hot water supply. Windows and doors are all of virtually maintenance-free, PVC double glazed installations.
Moving to the outside; the rear garden offers an open and panoramic countryside backdrop. The garden is of well-above-average size, wide and extending some 200 feet approximately, in length. This is a garden requiring little more in the way of maintenance than a mow during the summer months, ideal for those with busy lifestyles, as well as serving as an excellent football pitch for children. For those requiring a home office without the need to compromise bedroom space, an insulated and electricity connected garden office has been installed and utilised exactly as this. For homeworking, all important fibre cable broadband is installed in this locality.
A driveway runs from Weathercock Lane leading to the rear of the property, which enjoys a right of way to the rear of the garden. A private parking space, as well as a detached single-sized garage also belongs to this property, and is located facing Weathercock Lane.
This is a rare opportunity to secure an affordable 3 bedroom countryside home. The views are incredible and the garden and parking a most welcome and valuable asset.
