September Cottage is a substantial period house originally constructed circa 1640 and formerly two cottages owned by the Macclesfield estate. The cottages were converted in the 1960’s to form a single residence and later extended by the present owners to now form a substantial five bedroom detached property.

Internally the property enjoys substantial and adaptable living arranged over two floors and particular mention is made of the glazed garden room enjoying views over the grounds and countryside beyond. Further accommodation includes two reception rooms converted from the original building, divided by a large brick open fireplace visible from both rooms. A large conservatory enjoys an attractive rural outlook and a traditional kitchen/breakfast room with a range is positioned at the rear of the property. To the first floor September Cottage enjoys five double bedrooms including a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a separate family bathroom.

Outside, September Cottage is located at the bottom of the hamlet which is a ‘No-through’ single track lane. Private parking is available for 3-4 vehicles to the front of the double garage and a pretty garden path leads to the property which is set well back from the road and surrounded by formal gardens. The gardens are beautifully manicured and encompass the property with a more formal area to the rear that includes a large paved terrace for entertaining and a natural pond. A large timber tree house sits proudly in an elevated position within the grounds.
