3 bedroom detached on Holly Cottage

Set behind private gates on a quiet no-through road in Hill End, Holly Cottage is a beautifully presented detached home with generous living accommodation, mature private gardens and a peaceful setting close to Werneth Low.

Thoughtfully designed and full of natural light, the property combines the character of a traditional cottage with the space and flexibility of a substantial home.

An entrance porch opens into the central hallway, where a discreet under-stairs cupboard provides space for coats and everyday essentials. The property also benefits from a cellar, which houses the boiler and provides ample space for additional storage.

The principal Sitting room is a generously proportioned room centred around an attractive fireplace. With ample space for comfortable seating, it opens through glazed doors into the orangery-style garden room, creating a natural connection between the two spaces.

The orangery enjoys far-reaching views across Mellor towards Lyme Park. With direct access outside, it is a wonderful space to relax and take in the surrounding countryside throughout the seasons.

For quieter evenings, the separate snug provides a more intimate setting. A log-burning stove forms the focal point, while a characterful bay window brings in natural light.

The kitchen is fitted with cream shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Belling oven, AEG induction hob and Zanussi dishwasher. A separate dining room provides ample space for a large table, with patio doors opening directly onto the garden, making it particularly well suited to meals and entertaining.

A dedicated utility room accommodates laundry facilities and a sink, with its own external door providing convenient access to the garden.

Holly Cottage offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal bedroom is a generous room with a bay window, fitted wardrobes and space for additional furniture. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and views towards the garden, while the third offers a comfortable double room with useful eaves storage.

The property's Venetian shutters continue through the bedrooms, providing privacy while allowing the natural light to be adjusted throughout the day.

Two bathrooms serve the accommodation, both featuring shower facilities, wash basins and WCs, with a bidet in the second bathroom.

The gardens have been thoughtfully developed over time and are one of Holly Cottage's defining features. Mature trees established shrubs and an abundance of planting create a natural sense of enclosure, with greenery surrounding the various outdoor spaces.

Rather than a single open garden, there are several distinct areas to enjoy. Secluded seating spots are tucked amongst the planting, while patios provide space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A feature pond adds another attractive element, and the variety of mature plants and trees brings changing colours and textures throughout the seasons. It is an outdoor space designed to be used and enjoyed, with a level of maturity and privacy that would take years to establish from scratch.

A brick-built outbuilding with French doors, greenhouse, and summer house provide practical additional space and storage.

Positioned along a quiet no-through road behind private electric gates, the house benefits from very little passing traffic. The setting feels peaceful and tucked away, yet the property remains conveniently placed for local amenities and transport connections.

Werneth Low Country Park is nearby, offering extensive walking routes, open green spaces and panoramic views across the surrounding landscape. For those who enjoy the outdoors, countryside walks and scenic routes are within easy reach of home.

Romiley village provides independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and everyday amenities, while neighbouring Marple Bridge and Marple offer further places to eat, shop and explore.

Romiley and Woodley railway stations provide connections towards Manchester, with road links offering access to Stockport and the wider area.
