The Guardian's 'Fantasy house hunt' this week features "Cosy cottages for sale at Christmas in England"

The Guardian's 'Fantasy house hunt' this week features "Cosy cottages for sale at Christmas in England" and includes Pear Tree Cottage, Prestbury, Cheshire.

"From the front, this white cottage with little leaded windows looks relatively compact – especially for the price tag. However, it is a Tardis of a home with a large sitting room, a kitchen, a dining room, a snug and a utility room on the ground floor. And there’s a wine cellar. Upstairs are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and outside a separate oak-framed annexe workshop with a kitchen and a bathroom. The walled garden is lined with mature trees. Despite its age (built in 1771) it has an EPC rating of C."

Currently marketed by Jackson-Stops Alderley Edge with a guide price of £1,100,000.
