Property Description
A partly completed project on one of Over Peover's most characterful rural lanes, offered to the market in a condition that allows an incoming buyer to finish the work to their own specification.

Work carried out to date includes first fix electrics throughout, with the majority of the property boarded, plastered, and ready for second fix and finishing — a blank canvas that allows an incoming buyer to specify kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes entirely to their own taste without the more disruptive groundwork ahead of...

Accommodation
On the ground floor, a central entrance hallway divides two generous reception rooms — one to either side — with a breakfast kitchen extending to the rear. The layout is well-proportioned and intuitive, lending itself to relaxed everyday living as readily as more formal use.
Three double bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, each of a size that could comfortably accommodate ensuite facilities should the buyer wish to develop them accordingly. The cellar provides useful ancillary space in addition to the principal accommodation.
Outside
The property has space for cottage gardens alongside generous off-road parking — a practical and attractive combination for a rural setting of this type.
Location
Long Lane is a quiet, tree-lined country lane running through the heart of Over Peover — a parish that consistently ranks among the most sought-after in rural Cheshire. The village of Goostrey lies close by, offering a railway station with direct services to Manchester and Crewe, a well-regarded primary school, and a strong local community. The market town of Knutsford is within easy reach, providing a wider range of independent shops, restaurants, and professional services.
Over Peover itself is perhaps best known for the Grade I listed St Lawrence's Church and the historic Peover Hall estate, which together give the area a particular sense of permanence and place. The surrounding countryside is quintessential Cheshire — gently rolling farmland, well-maintained bridleways, and a landscape that feels genuinely rural without being remote.
The A50 and A556 provide straightforward access to the wider motorway network, placing Manchester Airport within approximately 20 minutes and Chester within half an hour. It is a location that combines genuine rural amenity with the kind of practical connectivity that buyers in this market rightly expect.
