Acorn Cottage

About this property

Acorn Cottage is a charming rural escape tucked away in the exclusive village of Toft, one of Cheshire’s most desirable spots. Hidden behind a private gated entrance and set within the owner’s sweeping grounds, this delightful retreat offers peace, privacy and a front-row view of the open countryside, with Jodrell Bank Observatory glinting on the horizon and horses grazing in the nearby paddocks. Step inside and you’ll find a space that blends traditional warmth with a touch of refinement. The ground floor features a well-equipped kitchen complete with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, as well as a dining table for relaxed meals after a day out exploring.

The inviting lounge is the heart of the home, furnished with a leather sofa, Smart TV and WiFi for unwinding in the evenings. A sleek ground-floor bathroom with shower, basin and WC completes the level. Upstairs, there are two tastefully furnished bedrooms, one king-size and one double, both dressed in crisp linen and offering peaceful views over the surrounding greenery. The landing houses a washing machine, cordless vacuum, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, while soft towels are provided for guests’ comfort. Outside, the private garden offers a lovely mix of lawn and patio, perfect for morning coffee or an alfresco glass of wine as the sun sets over the fields.

There’s also off-road parking for two vehicles. From the doorstep, the market town of Knutsford is easily reached, known for its boutique shops, independent restaurants and Tatton Park’s grand estate and deer park. The surrounding area boasts charming villages like Mobberley, Alderley Edge, and Wilmslow, each offering fine dining and scenic countryside walks. For day trips, the rolling landscapes of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and North Wales are all within comfortable reach. With its idyllic location and thoughtful touches throughout, Acorn Cottage makes an inviting base for couples or families seeking a slice of rural Cheshire life in refined comfort.
