“I heard you speak to me… and said to go down.”
Swept away in peaceful tranquillity — I wish I could stay.

Now is your chance to experience that same feeling. You will not want to leave.

A rare and remarkable opportunity awaits with this stunning three-bedroom semi-detached cottage, perfectly positioned on Mere Lake Road in the highly sought-after area of Alsager. Set along a peaceful country lane with breathtaking 360-degree field views, this one-of-a-kind home offers the very best of rural living, all within easy reach of local towns and amenities.

Dating back to 1889, this charming cottage was originally built as a farm worker’s dwelling and has been sympathetically restored and extended, preserving its rich character while embracing modern comforts. Original features have been lovingly retained, including the warm beauty of Victorian floorboards, the timeless charm of bedroom fireplaces, and all original ledge and brace doors, carefully stripped, varnished, and re-hung with authentic ironmongery. Exposed brickwork and thoughtful touches throughout echo the cottage’s rich history.

Inside, the ground floor offers generous living accommodation with two spacious and inviting reception rooms. A beautifully extended kitchen diner forms the heart of the home — a space made for gathering and connection. A separate study provides the perfect place to work or unwind, while the conservatory, with its self-cleaning glass roof, allows light to flood in and frames idyllic views of the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, three superbly sized bedrooms offer restful retreats. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious ensuite with a freestanding roll-top bath — a true sanctuary — while the remaining bedrooms are served by a pristine family shower room.

Step outside and the magic continues. The property is enveloped by extensive south-facing gardens, bordered by open fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. Here, you’ll find true tranquillity. There is ample off-road parking, along with external outbuildings one of which features a recently installed log burner, and provide convenient additional storage.

This is more than a home — it’s a place to breathe, to slow down, and to live in tune with the beauty around you. With its perfect blend of rural charm, historic character, and modern refinement, this is a home that will capture your heart.

Don't hesitate — opportunities like this are incredibly rare.
