Grey Dawn Cottage forms one half of a pair of cottages situated on a leafy country lane, flanked by beautiful cottage gardens and lawns, surrounded by rolling open countryside. Over more recent years the property has been extended to provide flexible living space and detailed below. We draw your particular attention to the very useful self-contained two storey annexe, ideal for those with dependant relatives or teenager, or maybe even those wishing to work from home. A long gated driveway provides ample off road parking and there is the necessary space for the erection of a garage, subject to planning permission.
LOCATION
The hamlet of Plumley is one of the areas most favoured semi-rural locations, being a retreat from business yet a superb provider for the commuter with the A556 dual carriageway providing a gateway to most commercial Cities, including Manchester, Chester and Liverpool, the North West motorway network and Manchester International Airport. Plumley railway station is within walking distance. The nearby town centres of Knutsford and Northwich provide for shopping facilities in addition to some particularly delightful country walks in Tatton Park and amongst the pretty narrow cobbled streets of the Italianate town centre of Knutsford. For the more active person, nearby leisure centres in both the fore mentioned towns cater for most pursuits, however, there are notable golf courses and equestrian facilities close by. Excellent education facilities, both state and private sectors are well provided for.
DIRECTIONS
From Canute Square travel along Northwich Road passing The Heath on your right. After just leaving the town centre, bear left onto Sudlow Lane and continue for some distance through the countryside where Grey Dawn Cottage will be seen eventually on your left, prior to reaching the crossroad with Plumley Moor Road.
