Pretty and peaceful setting
Chocolate box charm comes to the prettiest street in Davenham, at the historic and homely Croft Cottage.
Nestled at the quieter end of Church Street, approaching countryside, Croft Cottage sits handsomely amongst the period properties. Central to the village, this Grade-II Listed, timber-framed home is one of the oldest properties to be found in the sought-after village of Davenham.
Historic features
Approaching 400 years old, Croft Cottage dates back to the early 1600s, believed to have once served as an inn, and latterly extended in the 1700s, Croft Cottage is full of quaint quirks which will enthrall period property lovers.
OWNER QUOTE: ?We love the quirkiness of the cottage, there are no straight lines, it?s so pretty and full of character.?
Make your way indoors, through the Minton tiled entrance porch, and sense the character instantly, as you arrive at the lounge on the left.
A characterful room, part of the original 1600s home, exposed beams and a log-burning stove infuse warmth, whilst the balanced contemporary d©cor ensures a bright and welcoming feel, with oak flooring underfoot.
Wine and dine
Connecting to this room is the good-size dining room; ideal for entertaining, this room steps up to the kitchen, where oak floor is succeeded by traditional York stone flags for a rustic feel. Shutters feature throughout the home, with views over the side lane from the dining room.
The handmade, solid wood kitchen is currently furnished with a Smeg electric oven, Smeg gas burner top and freestanding fridge-freezer. There is also space for a washer-dryer and dishwasher beneath the wooden worktops. A rear door provides instant access to the garden.
A surprising addition to this traditional home is the accessible ground floor shower room, with wash basin and WC, discovered off the kitchen.
Soak and sleep
Make your way upstairs to the generously sized landing, where there is ample storage available in the fitted wardrobes with plenty of space for a desk; perfect for those working from home.
From the landing, discover two characterful bedrooms. Overlooking Church Street to the front, the master bedroom fits a king-size bed, bedside cabinets, wardrobe and drawers, its low ceiling imbuing a cosy cottage feel.
At the rear, the second double bedroom, set beneath a sloping roofline, offers access to its own bathroom, furnished with traditional, Victorian, rolltop, clawfoot bath with showerhead attachment, wash basin and WC.
Perfect for guests and family visitors, this room could also serve as a study, with good Wifi and broadband throughout.
Easy living
Designed in a contemporary style, the low maintenance garden features white paving, and white rendered walls, transforming the manageable garden into a glorious suntrap. Raised, rendered beds and a floating wooden bench provide comfortable seating and the potential to grow your own, with outside lighting illuminating three walls with different settings. Enjoy this garden year-round, with outdoor heating available. A side strip of paved garden is ideal for storage, with a hot and cold water tap perfect for dog owners and cyclists. An irrigation system makes this garden handy for lock-up-and-leave purposes.
OWNER QUOTE: ?Everyone who walks by turns to look, it?s a chocolate box cottage ? we?re very proud of it.?
On the doorstep
Peacefully set next door to the local church and its peeling bells, Croft Cottage embodies traditional Cheshire charm.
Only a short walk from the centre of the pretty mid-Cheshire village of Davenham, discover your two locals: The Oddfellows pub and The Bull?s Head, the latter of which serves food.
Well stocked with amenities, there is a petrol station with Spar shop in the village, alongside a pharmacy, sandwich bar, barbers, beauticians, gift shop and a local Waitrose.
Nestled close to the rolling countryside, discover the wealth of walks on the doorstep, through farmers? fields and along quiet country lanes. Cyclists can enjoy their pick of circuits, heading directly out into the lanes from the house with no main roads or roundabouts to navigate.
Commuting is convenient, with Northwich station nearby on the Manchester to Chester line, and Hartford station also handy, on the Liverpool to London mainline. Buses run through the village regularly, with handy motorway links off the bypass.
A beautiful, characterful home, perfect for period property afficionados, professionals seeking a cosy Cheshire lock-up-and-leave-friendly nest, or those looking to downsize to the countryside, Croft Cottage offers snug, safe, chocolate box bolt hole bliss.
