DESCRIPTION The Cottage is a period property constructed of brick with rendered elevations and some decorative timber cladding beneath a pitched slate roof, together with a single storey side extension which has a felt roof. The Cottage is a mid-terraced property, and in recent years has been subject to certain improvements by the present owner, including roofing works, replacement radiators and shower room fitments, and replastering to certain areas. The property is also served with double glazing and a combi boiler, both of which were new in around 2020. The Cottage provides characterful accommodation arranged over two floors, with exposed ceiling timbers, an open fireplace in the sitting room with detailed stone inset and mantel, and vaulted ceiling in the main bedroom. The layout would suit a single person, couple, or small family, but would also appear suitable for letting purposes, notably short term holiday lets given its location within Parkgate. OUTSIDE The property is approached off Little Lane to a gravel parking area in front of the house. To the side is a further area which has been lawned and is large enough to accommodate another vehicle if required. The main garden is to the rear and comprises a crazy paved patio with gravel area and raised lawn. The garden is surrounded by a wall and some fencing. The space is large for a dwelling of the proportions of The Cottage. DIRECTIONS To reach the property from the direction of Neston proceed past Neston Cricket Club continuing down to The Parade. Continue along the front for a short distance passing The Ship Hotel. Nicholls ice cream shop is immediately afterwards following sharply by Little Lane. Turn into the lane, and The Cottage is the first entrance on the left hand side. PROPERTY INFORMATION Address: The Cottage, Little Lane, Parkgate, Neston, Cheshire, CH64 6SD.
