2 Bedroom Terraced House

Tucked away in the sought-after semi-rural village of Langley, Drakes Cottage is a charming two-bedroom home that perfectly captures the feel of a traditional English cottage, offering a lovely balance between countryside living and everyday convenience.
With open views to the rear, a stream running behind the garden, and the Peak District quite literally on your doorstep, this is a home that feels both peaceful and connected.

As you arrive, the property is set back behind a stone wall with a gated entrance, giving a gentle sense of privacy.
A stone-flagged pathway leads you to the front door, with a gravel seating area and raised planting enhancing the cottage setting.

Step inside and you’re welcomed into a cosy living area at the front of the house. It’s a warm and inviting space to relax, filled with natural light and offering an easy flow through to the dining area beyond. The dining space sits at the heart of the home, creating a sociable setting for day-to-day living and entertaining, complete with useful understairs storage.

To the rear, the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a timeless feel, featuring shaker-style wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a NEFF oven and hob.
From here, a traditional stable door opens through into the sun room.
The sun room provides a useful additional space, currently used by the owners for storage, and also offers direct access out to the rear garden

Upstairs, the main bedroom sits to the front and provides a comfortable double room with built-in storage.
The second bedroom stretches across the rear, offering a flexible layout with both a window and Velux roof light, making it ideal as a guest room, home office, or occasional bedroom.

The shower room has been modernised with a clean and contemporary finish, including a walk-in enclosure, vanity unit, and heated towel rail.

Outside is where this home really comes into its own.
The rear garden has been designed for low maintenance, arranged over two tiers and enclosed by stone walling.
The lower seating area sits just above the stream that runs along the rear boundary

The position of the house works brilliantly for village life, giving you easy access into both Langley and Sutton, each with their own welcoming communities.
There’s a village hall in Langley, and another in Sutton, along with Langley Cricket Club, the local Scout hut, Sutton St James’ Church, and Langley Methodist Church

For everyday essentials, Sutton General Stores is just a short five-minute drive away. It’s more than just a shop too, with a coffee shop, florist, and post office all in one place

You’re also right on the doorstep of Macclesfield Forest, with its woodland walks, reservoir views, and mountain bike routes, yet still only a short drive into Macclesfield itself for shops, cafés, schools, and rail links.

If you’re looking for a characterful home that genuinely reflects traditional cottage living, in a setting that offers both lifestyle and practicality, Drakes Cottage is one well worth viewing.
