We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
We are delighted to be able to offer for sale Laurel Cottage, a hidden gem of a property which will appeal greatly to those buyers looking for an individual home of charm and character, large enough for those with a family, but also manageable enough and spacious enough for those buyers looking to downsize from a larger family home and still want to have enough space to entertain and accommodate guests.
There are very few properties that exist that offer the combination of features as Laurel Cottage, never mind that happen to be for sale.
Most people think of Timperley as the place to find traditional three bedroomed semi-detached homes from the 1930s to 1960s, however, this part of Moss Lane is one of the oldest parts of Timperley and is particularly sought after because of its mix or period property near Timperley village yet very close to the market town of Altrincham.
The Cottage is also close to the sought after independent Forest Preparatory School and Nursery and a stone’s throw from the highly rated Wellington Secondary School, a mixed school with 6th form and academy status, making it the perfect home for those with a growing family.
Although incoming purchasers may wish to carry out a programme of improvements and modernisation, none are essential, as the house as it is functions perfectly.
This means that a purchaser can carry out improvements over time that will add value.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile and on the ground floor is arranged around a large entrance hall, boasts a very well proportioned sitting room, a good sized dining room, along with a cottage style kitchen.
Whilst on the first floor, there 5 bedrooms in total, four are double, the fifth could easily be turned into a third bathroom or used as a nursery or study, and there is a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to one of the smaller double bedrooms.
Outside to the front of the property, a wide driveway provides access to the integral single garage as well as off road parking for numerous cars.
To the rear, the gardens are a garden lover’s delight - south facing, well stocked and private. There is an enclosed courtyard garden to the side elevation.
There is a detached outbuilding in the rear garden which the current owners refer to as the party barn.
This was formerly used as an additional garage as there was an additional set of garage doors at the rear of the integral garage allowing passage through and over a courtyard to the barn.
This courtyard and barn would seem an obvious area into which the house and living accommodation could be extended, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
For the commuter, easy access is gained to the Northwest Motorway network with access to both the M6 and M56 within easy striking distance from the house, while Manchester’s International Airport lies only 15 mins away by car.
Laurel Cottage is priced to sell and with no onward chain this is an opportunity not to be missed. Contact us now to arrange your appointment to view. Council Tax Band = E.
