3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Huxley Lane, Tiverton, Tarporley CW6

Set in a plot of circa 3 acres, enjoying south west facing orientation and views of Beeston and Peckforton Castles, an extended original Peckforton estate cottage with a super range of outbuildings

Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman

A rare gem refers to a precious stone that is not commonly found and is highly sought after due to its rarity and beauty. Examples of rare gems include alexandrite, painite, and red beryl. These stones are often valued for their unique colours, brilliance, and the fact that they are not readily available. This one off and special home, known as Oak Cottage, is in my view the property equivalent of a rare gem.

With views of two castles and an overall site of circa 3 acres, this house is somewhat iconic in the area. It forms part of a historic cluster of houses, all originally Peckforton Estate cottages that overlook the village green to the front and have stunning views of countryside to the rear. The subject property is noted as being of special architectural and historic interest and richly deserves the Grade II listed status it has been afforded.

It also has the advantage of a south west facing orientation and a lovely range of outbuildings.
The house is believed to date from the middle of the 17th century and has been sensitively extended and enhanced through the years. The house is timber framed with brick infill and plain tile roof. All the windows on this front have decorative glazing bars forming a honeycomb pattern of hexagons.
