A rare opportunity has come up to buy a historic cottage in a 'unique' location.
Orchard Dell Cottage, in Church End, Hale Village, is set on a private plot of land behind electronic gates in the 'secluded yet unique' location of Hale Park.
Estate agents Wignalls say that " properties like this do not come on the market very often."
Listed for £800,000, the four bedroom house dates back to the 1800s when it was historically a gardener's cottage.
While it has kept much of its original period charm, the property has been modernised throughout and has the potential for further development.
Images on Rightmove show a characterful entrance hall that leads to an winding staircase and the rest of the ground floor through hardwood doors and quirky archways.
To one side is a downstairs bathroom and to the other is a newly renovated lounge with bifold doors, Velux windows and underfloor heating.
The bifold doors open out into the private garden area, linking the outdoor grounds to the inside seamlessly.
This outside area also leads directly onto a covered terrace area with lighting, a fire pit and power supply.
Despite being renovated recently, the lounge area keeps plenty of its historic charm with exposed brick walls and original tiled floors.
Moving towards the back of the property is the large kitchen, complete with range cooker and pantry for storage, and also the rear cloakroom and utility room.
The kitchen is big enough to have its own small dining area, but there is also a separate dining room.
Again in-keeping with the 1800s origins of the property, the dining room centres around a beautiful exposed brick chimney with a log burning fire underneath.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two of which share a Jack and Jill-style ensuite bathroom.
The remaining two bedrooms can share the 'stylish' three piece family bathroom.
Outside the property is described as being 'to die for'. It boasts plenty of key features including a roofed terrace, a tree lined garden area and a second bricked terrace.
At the moment the outside terrace areas are used for entertaining and hosting 'garden parties' however the space has potential for an annex.
Planning permission has also been approved and lapsed for a two storey double garage with first floor bathroom facilities, showing potential for a similar plot being approved once resubmitted.
Jessica Grabaskey, of Wignalls Estate Agents said: "Orchard Dell Cottage is like no other property currently on the market.
"Located in a beautifully idyllic position within Hale Park, this property is stunning and finished to an immaculate standard.
"The exterior of the property is to die for, with outside seating areas perfect for summers’ evenings, along with a spacious lawn garden, with an annex a potential option.
"The driveway and paths around the property are lined with bushes and trees, and if you closed your eyes you could be anywhere in the world."
