LANE EDGE

As vendors’ sole agent, Fine and Country are proud to present to the market this beautiful detached Georgian cottage in the heart of Rainow.

Nestled in the picturesque Peak District, just outside of Macclesfield and around half an hour south of Manchester, this property has recently been restored to its former glory while maintaining its original features such as the spice cupboard at the top of the stairs and many of the original doors.

The cozy interior is warmed by a log burner, set beneath beautiful exposed beams that add to the cottage’s historic charm. It offers a spacious kitchen on the ground floor with a separate dining room, living room, and a stunning entrance hall. The first floor boasts two generous double bedrooms and a W/C for convenience, while the basement offers a modern four-piece family bathroom.

The gem of this property has to be the deceivingly large mature garden with an original Cheshire stone wall, a garage with a workshop below, and immaculate views overlooking the Gritstone Trail, Kerridge Hill, and the Peak District.

Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Macclesfield train station, where direct trains to London take less than two hours. Lane Edge is also located near many schools including Rainow Primary School, Macclesfield High School, and The King’s School in Prestbury.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully understand the beauty of Lane Edge.

Seller Insight

The present owners spent every weekend walking in the beautiful Peaks, and when they discovered Lane Edge, with its stunning views towards Kerridge Hill, was for sale they decided to view the property, and they quite simply fell in love with the charming eighteenth century cottage.
