Extended and modernised detached Antrobus home

Church Cottage, Knutsford Road, Antrobus, CW9 6JW

Reimagined living awaits in the heart of Antrobus village, at Church Cottage, a freshly renovated period home whose traditional wrapping belies its contemporary inside.

Originally a quaint, period three-bedroom cottage, not far from Antrobus Church, over the years, the surrounding area has evolved as the village has grown and thrived, to incorporate a collection of more modern homes and bungalows. Church Cottage, though, remains distinct and distinguished, bearing quiet witness to the past, its traditional brickwork and gabled porch hinting at its origins as part of Antrobus Church.

Now, following an extensive two-storey extension and meticulous renovation, Church Cottage has been reborn as a spacious five-bedroom home.

Parking is available for two cars on the golden gravel driveway, while a second driveway from the other side of the home provides space for two additional vehicles, with further parking to be found within the double garage.

Historic home reborn

Indoors, Church Cottage is clearly a home reborn for the modern era, light, bright and remodelled to provide an easy family flow.

Storage for coats and shoes is available in a handy cupboard off the entrance hall, brightly lit by light streaming in through the large window providing leafy views out over the mature greenery to the front. Underfoot, contemporary LVT flooring extends through into the lounge to the left. The entire house is now fully electric, powered by an energy-efficient heat pump system that brings year-round comfort and a noticeably improved EPC rating.

Comfort throughout

In the lounge, fireplaces and chimneys have made way for clean lines and open space, infusing the interior with a sense of calm and flow. While the inside is now entirely contemporary, the exterior remains rooted in the home’s heritage. The extension was built with specially sourced reclaimed brick, carefully chosen to echo the nearby church, while the windows, framed in a rich mahogany tone, offer the classic look with the comfort of UPVC double glazing.

An impressively sized dining-living space, light and garden views are showcased through large windows to the front alongside French doors opening to the garden at the rear. A glazed internal door also frames a glimpse of the garden via the bifolding doors in the kitchen, for a sense of seamless living alongside nature.

Family time

A true family space, the kitchen resonates with light, painted throughout in crisp white, harmonising with the matt white worktops and metro splashback tiles. Feast your eyes on the array of integrated appliances, designed to make every day mealtimes a breeze, including a Smeg double oven, induction hob and extractor fan.

Ample storage is available within the classic petrol green cabinetry, with plenty of room for a family dining table or a cosy sofa in front of the wide bifolding doors which open seamlessly to the garden, creating that perfect inside-outside flow for al fresco dining.

Practical and polished

Connecting the kitchen to the entrance hall, the handy utility room flows through to a laundry room, WC and airing cupboard. With deep green cabinets, brass handles and plenty of worktop space, the utility room is plumbed for washing machine and dryer.

From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the landing, where soft, plush carpet underfoot adds warmth and comfort, a luxurious touch that continues through all the bedrooms.

And so to bed…

Directly opposite the stairs privately tucked away is the guest bedroom, a spacious double bathed in natural light. With views out to the quiet lane at the front and the garden to the rear, it's a peaceful, versatile space, perfect for guests or teens.

To the rear, rest and refresh in the master suite. This calming retreat is served by its own stylish en suite shower room, finished in contemporary grey tones and also fitted with vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Next door to the master, tucked away at the rear of the home, bedroom five serves as a quiet and versatile space; ideal as a nursery, home office, or peaceful study overlooking the garden.

Discover the elegant family bathroom to the right of the stairs, a space designed with both style and relaxation in mind. Fully tiled in a sleek, contemporary grey, it features a four-piece suite including a freestanding, roll top bath and a separate walk-in shower, ideal for a relaxing soak or a speedy spritz.

To the front of the home await bedrooms three and four, both warm and immaculate doubles, filled with natural light and offering plenty of space for guests, children, or flexible family living.

Outdoor haven

Outdoors, the garden wraps around the rear to both sides, offering a complete sense of seclusion from the world outside.

Nestled on a wide plot, and laid mainly to lawn, the patio outside the lounge offers place to relax and unwind al fresco in peace and privacy.

Designed for privacy, planted hedges are maturing beautifully to the boundary, accompanying the modern fencing to form a natural green border screening Church Cottage from view, safe and secure for children and pets.
