Pepper Street, Grappenhall

INTERIOR
This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional home, blending traditional charm with modern comfort in a sought-after semi-rural location. A particularly impressive feature is the newly fitted thatched roof, completed approximately two years ago, which beautifully complements the property’s historic character.
Originally built in 1704, the cottage is steeped in history and character, with a wealth of original features thoughtfully complemented by modern updates. Upon entering, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the traditional tone for the remainder of the home. Throughout the property, stunning exposed beams and original woodwork highlight the rich heritage of the building, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
To the front of the property are the spacious lounge and dining room, both offering excellent proportions. The lounge features a gorgeous electric fire, creating a cosy focal point, while the dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining and family gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the spectacular countryside views from the window. The kitchen benefits from a range of built-in appliances, along with a gorgeous breakfast bar, making it a practical and sociable space. From here, there is access to a useful utility room, which provides space for additional appliances and valuable cupboard storage.
Completing the ground floor is a versatile study/Bedroom Three, which can be utilised to suit the needs of the new owners, whether as a home office, guest bedroom or additional living space. This room is conveniently served by a separate shower room, while a further WC completes the downstairs accommodation.
The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, adding to the unique layout and character of this charming cottage. The staircase from the dining room leads to Bedroom One, a beautifully considered space featuring built-in wardrobes and a newly fitted modern en-suite. The contemporary additions have been carefully introduced without compromising the property's distinctive period features.
Bedroom Two is accessed via the staircase from the hallway and is another generously proportioned room. It is served by the main family bathroom, which is well equipped with both a bath and a walk-in shower.
The cottage seamlessly combines its wealth of traditional characteristics, including exposed beams, original woodwork and period detailing, with tasteful modern finishes and thoughtful updates. The result is a truly charming and versatile home that offers the character and history of a period property alongside the comfort and practicality of modern living.
GARDEN
The property is complemented by beautifully maintained outdoor spaces, with the front garden providing an attractive and welcoming approach. Mature planting and established shrubbery create a sense of privacy and seclusion, while a dedicated decking area offers an idyllic spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings during the warmer months.
A particularly appealing feature of this unique home is the provision of two additional plots of land, offering an exceptional level of outdoor space and versatility rarely found with properties of this nature. Situated directly opposite the cottage, one of the plots provides private parking alongside a recently renovated and beautifully landscaped garden, creating a tranquil retreat away from the main house. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the garden features a charming fire pit, dedicated BBQ area, summer house and a beautiful greenhouse, providing a wonderful setting to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year. The second plot offers further flexibility and could provide additional parking, storage for a motorhome or space for other vehicles and recreational equipment, subject to any necessary permissions.
Together, the extensive gardens and additional land create an exceptional sense of space, privacy and versatility, perfectly complementing the character of the cottage and its peaceful semi-rural setting. This is a home that offers not only beautiful living accommodation, but also the opportunity to truly embrace an outdoor lifestyle.
