The accommodation is arranged over two floors in a traditional layout. On the ground floor, an entrance porch leads into a hallway with stairs to the first floor. At the front of the house, a bay-fronted lounge features a log-burning stove set within an exposed and dressed Cheshire brick fireplace. This room opens into a second sitting room or snug, which could easily be separated from the main lounge to create a more informal living area. To the rear, a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room is finished in a charming country style with freestanding units and appliances, complemented by a circular log-burning stove, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The ground floor is completed by a Victorian-style vaulted orangery overlooking the extensive mature gardens, and a recently added cloakroom with a practical shower.

Upstairs, the master bedroom includes a small but useful dressing area and fitted wardrobes. The guest bedroom is a generous double, while the third bedroom, currently laid out as a spacious single due to large fitted wardrobes, could also function as a small double. All bedrooms are served by a fully functioning three-piece white bathroom suite, which, while dated, remains practical.

Externally, Millwood Cottage is particularly special. Sitting on approximately one-third of an acre of well-maintained gardens, it offers both privacy and space. While the property is located next to the main road, the recently installed triple glazing ensures that road noise is minimal inside. The home benefits from direct private access to Mill Wood, ideal for dog walking or enjoying the outdoors. There is even a 15 minute walk to the local pub & train station! In addition, the property enjoys the unusual advantage of a communal field, providing a safe space for children to play, dogs to be walked, and for neighbours to gather for annual barbecues or bonfire nights. There is currently parking for three to four vehicles, a detached garage, and a two-horse stable block used for storage, with the option to extend the parking area for larger vehicles or a caravan.

Millwood Cottage is situated on the outskirts of Plumley, yet it is ideally positioned for access to both Knutsford and Northwich, combining the benefits of semi-rural living with excellent transport links and local amenities.

This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful, spacious home with generous gardens, woodland access, and potential for further enhancement. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale, charm, and possibilities this home has to offer. Read more
