McDermott & Co are delighted to bring to the market this charming and unique Grade II listed property. Built in 1694 and set within the picturesque village of Mottram, this delightful semi-detached, stone-built cottage on Back Lane is rich in original features and occupies approximately a quarter of an acre of private, gated grounds — a true hidden treasure.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a cosy principal lounge featuring original flooring, exposed beams and a log-burning stove. The ground floor also offers a second lounge or study, a welcoming central hallway, a downstairs WC and the kitchen, all rich in original character, including a safe built into the wall from the days when the house served as the local post office.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, with the impressive principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite. A spacious family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The surrounding area is known for its welcoming community and convenient local amenities, appealing to families and professionals alike, while the semi-detached design retains excellent privacy.

Externally, the property benefits from a private, mature garden with lawned areas and established trees and shrubs, complemented by a large driveway leading to the house. A double-sized garage provides space for two vehicles, with additional room suitable for a workshop or workspace.

It may be of interest to prospective purchasers that planning permission was granted in 1987 for the erection of a two-bedroom dwelling within the garden to the rear of the property, subject to the necessary modern consents. Recent improvements include a new Viessmann Vitodens 100-W boiler with weather compensation and an 11-year warranty, together with roof repairs undertaken by a specialist historic-buildings contractor.

This delightful home offers a true sense of retreat, seamlessly combining historic charm with modern living. Excellent commuter links via the M67, M60 and A57
