Welcome to Lock 57 Cottage, a charming characterful home built in the late 1700s, situated just moments from the scenic canal lock. The property boasts a private driveway, a formally designed front garden with a water fountain, and a low-maintenance patio-paved rear garden perfect for outdoor dining and family gatherings. Inside, the home exudes warmth and character with exposed wooden beams, a cosy multi-fuel burner, and period features throughout. The kitchen is a highlight, designed in a classic cottage style with a spacious central island, granite worktops, and a traditional range cooker. The property also features installed solar panels, providing excellent energy efficiency and running-cost savings. With four generously sized bedrooms, a separate WC, and a huge bathroom suite, this home offers flexibility for families, home workers, or those seeking additional guest space. The setting is peaceful, surrounded by countryside walks and wildlife, yet still within easy reach of the market town of Sandbach's amenities, transport links, and well-regarded schools. This delightful home combines period charm with practical modern upgrades and a truly idyllic location, making it an exceptional opportunity for families seeking rural living without compromise.
