A charming and traditional three-bedroom country cottage, positioned on a quiet lane just outside Mottram St Andrew, offering generous living space, exceptional privacy, and a stunning rear sunroom extension.

This picture-perfect home blends period character with considered modern additions, set within mature, west-facing gardens and benefiting from ample parking and two garages.

Some homes try to recreate “country charm.”
This one simply has it.

Welcome to Moss Cottage

A traditional porch opens into a welcoming living room, centred around a log burner—the kind of space that instantly feels like home. From here, the layout unfolds naturally, stepping down into a further sitting room, creating both flow and definition without losing that connected, sociable feel.

To the rear, the house opens up beautifully.

A striking sunroom spans much of the back of the property—flooded with natural light and designed for modern living. Whether entertaining, hosting family, or simply enjoying quieter moments, this is a space that truly elevates the home.

French doors open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

The dining room sits open to a country-style kitchen—warm, practical, and in keeping with the character of the property. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room, WC, and internal access to one of the garages—well considered and ideally positioned for day-to-day living.

Upstairs continues the same sense of balance—generous proportions, excellent natural light, and a calm, comfortable feel throughout.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying a triple aspect, fitted furniture, and a modern en-suite shower room.

Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double, dual aspect, with extensive fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three is currently arranged as a single bedroom or home office with built-in furniture, but could easily be adapted to suit a range of needs, including a further double bedroom.

The family bathroom is larger than expected, traditionally styled and complemented by additional fitted cabinetry.

Outside Space

The gardens are a standout feature.

West-facing, fully enclosed, and not overlooked, they offer a rare combination of privacy and usability. Mature trees and established planting create a soft, secluded setting, while remaining manageable in size.

A generous patio provides ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with further benefits including two garages, a greenhouse, a garden shed, and a block-paved driveway offering ample parking.

Access to both sides of the property enhances practicality as well as overall flow.

The Feel

What stands out most about Moss Cottage is how it feels.

Warm, established, and quietly impressive. Not over-designed, not overdone—just a genuinely beautiful home in a setting that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

The Setting – Why Mottram St Andrew?

Mottram St Andrew is widely regarded as one of Cheshire’s most prestigious villages, known for its elegant homes, landscaped grounds, and discreet, semi-rural lifestyle. Its reputation for exclusivity places it among the most desirable—and valuable—locations in the North of England.

Despite its tranquil setting, the village is exceptionally well connected, sitting within easy reach of Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, and Prestbury—three of the region’s most desirable locations—offering an excellent selection of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and everyday amenities.

For commuters, there is straightforward access to Manchester and Manchester Airport, making it ideal for those seeking a balance between countryside living and urban connectivity. A well-regarded primary school sits at the end of the lane, adding further appeal for families.

What truly sets Mottram St Andrew apart, however, is its lifestyle offering. Surrounded by rolling Cheshire countryside, the area provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits, with a strong equestrian presence adding to its rural charm. There’s a distinct sense of privacy and space here—something increasingly rare—combined with a well-established, discreet community.
