Tucked away in a quiet and elevated corner of Kerridge, this Grade II listed end-terrace cottage offers a rare blend of history, space and countryside living.
Set on the edge of the Gritstone Trail with direct access, Turret Cottages enjoys an idyllic setting with far-reaching views and the convenience of Bollington and Macclesfield close by.

Originally part of a row dating back to circa 1840, the property was once formed of two cottages and a working smithy for William Clayton, who ran a small coal-mining enterprise in the area. Constructed in buff sandstone under a Kerridge slate-stone roof, the frontage features distinctive embattled parapets with flagged copings — a hallmark of local vernacular architecture and a reminder of its heritage.

Inside, the property is far larger than its façade suggests and offers a flexible layout ideal for modern family living.
There are two generous reception rooms, each with a wood-burning stove, along with a light-filled orangery that links seamlessly with the traditional fitted kitchen at the heart of the home.
Practicality is covered with a combined utility and cloakroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find three good-sized bedrooms and a period-style bathroom with underfloor heating.
The main bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite and dressing mezzanine level, accessed via a private staircase — an unexpected and very useful bonus space.

The ground floor features travertine tiled floors with underfloor heating, and the house is served by a modern air-source heating system, providing efficient warmth throughout.

Externally, the gardens extend to three sides and offer a choice of seating areas, established planting, a vegetable plot, fruit trees and wonderful open views across the Cheshire countryside.
A detached garden office with power and internet provides the perfect work-from-home retreat.
There is also a separate detached garage and private allocated off-road parking with a wood store adjacent to the garage.

A unique opportunity to purchase a character home combining heritage architecture, modern comforts, generous living space and direct access to miles of scenic walks.
