Timbersbrook is a small hamlet set in a most scenic countryside location. Situated just a ten minute drive to the east of Congleton, this tranquil location lies at the foot of the iconic Congleton Cloud hill, and forms the gateway to the Gritstone Trail - this is an idyllic location for lovers of the great outdoors.

With an almost endless choice of walking routes, including access to the wonderful towpaths of the Macclesfield Canal, which stretch as far as you can walk to the north and south; this is a truly unspoilt and relatively unknown area. Amazing really, especially when you consider its close proximity to Congleton town centre.

Pool Bank Cottages are a row of just five quaint properties lining leafy Weathercock Lane, Timbersbrook. The cottages overlook rolling fields and hills to the front, whilst the south-westerly-facing rear aspects, share privileged far reaching views over open countryside - not a blot on the stunning landscape that stretches into the distance for miles.

Number 5 Pool Bank Cottages, is a much later addition to the otherwise period architecture of the neighbouring cottages. The sheer size of accommodation is without doubt, most deceptive.

The true architectural term of a cottage property, may actually be seen as a rather erroneous title in this particular case. Cottages, are habitually thought of as cute and cosy, often offering more compact accommodation than traditional family sized homes. This particular property, could far better be described as simply a Tardis!

Constructed in approximately 1870, the architectural style is strangely, far more reminiscent of a later-build era. Extended over more recent decades, the living space has adapted to become far more suited to a family, than a traditional cottage could generally be considered.

Boasting four double-sized bedrooms, as well as two incredibly spacious reception rooms, the accommodation also features a farmhouse-style kitchen, a separate laundry and bootroom, as well as two bath/shower rooms and a very handy downstairs WC.

Fabulous character features, such as stunning exposed timber ceiling beams, chimneys with cosy fireplaces, plate rails, ceiling coving, and oak-style plank flooring, all combine to somehow deceive that this is indeed, the country cottage the name suggests. The mixture of period features and stunning open countryside views from almost every angle, combine to magnificent effect a perfect cottage/farmhouse feel. However, there should be no further confusion or doubt whatsoever; this is clearly a home that is suited to a family or those looking for a home in an idyllic countryside location, that delivers great space. For downsizers, this is a home that offers future-proofing qualities. The ground floor can straight-forwardly be adapted to offer one level living. Whilst the first floor will continue to provide ample sleeping space for larger family stopovers.

From first glance, the traditional red brick façade provides no clue to just what lies behind. It is not just the sheer size of living space that surprises, it is the outside space too, combining with breathtaking open panoramic views from the elevated vantage point this wonderful home benefits.

The property is slightly setback from Weathercock lane, originally garden-fronted and now neatly flagged for ease of upkeep. An attractive brick and stone block-laid driveway, provides parking to one side of the front garden area, whilst a slightly farther distant open carport could very straightforwardly have a garage door installed to provide secure garage storage.

The front door opens to reveal a lovely welcoming and spacious reception hallway. A roomy cloaks hanging area is tucked away to the rear of the feature staircase. Oak-effect plank flooring runs seamlessly throughout the main living accommodation, providing a most attractive and sympathetic look, whilst also delivering a very practical and hardwearing floor finish.

Located to one side of the hallway, a truly beautifully presented lounge features the most stunning addition of exposed beams, complemented by bespoke-crafted natural wood ceiling coving. A chimney breast incorporates a brick open-fireplace, perfect for snuggling up to a roaring open fire during the colder autumn and winter months of the year.

Adjacent to the lounge and accessed from the reception hallway, a full-width dining room and informal snug, opens to the farmhouse-style kitchen - ideal for creating the main hub of the house for family and friends alike. This open-plan living space offers absolute flexibility and adaptability to utilise the space as you desire. This fabulous space also enables large groups to be entertained whilst hosting get-togethers or parties.

The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a full-range of floor and wall cabinets - an ideal environment for any keen cook. The cabinets are a little older in style, but in completely serviceable condition. The kitchen area is naturally bright, served by an almost full-width window that provides not just an abundance of light from the south-westerly orientation, but even more importantly; the most spectacular elevated views over open fields and hills. There lies great potential to extend the kitchen if so desired, by either knocking through to the adjoining laundry and bootroom, or (subject to panning consent), extending out to the rear. This would create an incredibly spacious open plan-plan kitchen, diner, and family room/snug - and how about topped off with full-width bi-folding doors, opening to an elevated terrace with a panoramic countryside backdrop as an unbeatable wow factor?

Adjoining the kitchen, there is a roomy laundry room and boot store, ideal for kicking off muddy boots following the abundant choice of countryside walks in the immediate and neighbouring vicinity. For the owners of four-legged family members, this enclosed space serves as a perfect doggy room, especially as it is served independently by an internal door opening to the front carport, as well as an external door from the rear garden.

Located off the laundry and boot room, there is another very handy addition to the accommodation; the provision of a downstairs WC & shower room. There is currently only a shower tray and wall tiling installed, however, this would be a simple and relatively inexpensive job to finish. Once completed, this could be utilised as a perfect solution to one-floor living, a guest facility, or of course, a washing muddy dog facility. Hot and cold water taps are also handily installed in the carport area, located directly to the front door of the laundry and bootroom.

Back to the reception hallway, a lovely feature staircase rises to the first floor. Here, a centrally-located, wide and gallery-style landing, provides access to the current three, but originally designed, four, first floor double-sized bedrooms, en suite shower room and luxuriously-appointed family bathroom.

The master bedroom has been extended in the recent past, to create an independent living space for a relative. The space comprises of a spacious bedroom area with an adjacent open-plan en suite shower and WC, and a combined dressing room area. The neighbouring double bedroom to the rear, retains its own door to the landing, however, a wall opening has been adapted to allow the bedroom and dressing/en suite room to also provide a separate sitting room. This independent space was adapted from two original bedrooms and the siting of the main bathroom. This could quite easily be reconverted to provide four double bedrooms, if so desired.

All first floor rooms benefit the most amazing elevated countryside views - open fields and hills to both the front and rear. The stunning bathroom offers the sanctuary and luxury of a freestanding rolltop bath with open countryside views.

Moving to the outside; both the laundry and bootroom, as well as a path running from the carport, provide access to the elevated full-width terrace. This is an area, for fear of repeating the same subject so many times, benefits spectacular open views, which extend into the distance. This is an unbelievable area to both relax, or entertain family and friends. Steps descend to the long and gently sloping, predominantly lawn-laid garden. To the far end of the garden, a wide concrete-laid driveway and hardstanding area, provides ample parking for several vehicles - perfect for also storing a caravan or motorhome. The driveway gently bends to access Weathercock Lane. The driveway is privately owned by this property, although we are informed that a right of way easement is provided to the few neighbouring properties. The driveway ends at the end of this particular property, so there is the benefit of no further passing vehicles. A garage is also sited to one side of the garden and provides good dry storage.

The entire accommodation is very well presented indeed, offering a new owner the opportunity to move straight in and enjoy, or the fabulous opportunity to further improve the potential, which so obviously lies within.

Viewing appointments are absolutely imperative in order to fully appreciate all this amazing home has to offer.
