Property description

Countryside properties don't get much better than Rock Cottage! Occupying a sheltered position on the Cheshire side of Wych brook, this pretty cottage is bounded by the rocky outcrop from which the property takes its name. From its elevated position, the cottage is set amidst large, well-stocked gardens and commands delightful far reaching views towards the Welsh hills. The lovely photographs tell a story and show a substantial country home that has been considerably extended in recent years and yet still retains much 'Olde-Worlde' rustic charm, including a wealth of exposed beamed ceilings. There are four reception rooms, a refitted kitchen/breakfast room (with solid granite work-tops and fitted appliances), plus a refitted utility room and downstairs cloakroom/WC. Upstairs, in addition to the four bedrooms, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and there is also a Jack 'n' Jill family shower room. There is extra accommodation outside, within the timber cabin with its insulated roof and walls and this may well appeal to those who work from home and require a separate office or alternatively, a hobbies room. The sweeping driveway provides parking galore, in addition to the two detached garages, plus a dedicated parking area. However, the real gem is the plot itself, which the current owners believe extends to about an acre (although this has not yet been formally verified) and this was enlarged by the inclusion of a former quarry, which as now been planted out with individually labelled specimen plants and shrubs in a woodland setting - what a lovely chance to unwind and get away from it all! The lawned gardens provide excellent vantage points for views across the village and the fields beyond and it is ideally placed within strolling distance of the Queens Head public house over the road - BLISS!Whilst feeling as though it is miles from anywhere, Rock Cottage has the great advantage of being within a relatively swift distance from nearby, Whitchurch (Shropshire), Wrexham (Wales) and Chester (Cheshire). The nearest town is Malpas, approximately 4 miles or 10 minutes drive away. So, if you are looking for all the trappings of countryside living, combined with easy vehicular travel to nearby conurbations, we feel that this lovely family home will tick most of the boxes. Curious?.............. Please call us and we will willingly arrange a viewing.
