A DISTINCTIVE five-bedroom home with a Mediterranean-inspired garden has come on the market.

LMS Property has listed Bryher Cottage, on Swanlow Lane in Winsford, for offers over £420,000.

The estate agent said the house is "quite unlike the conventional five-bedroom property."

The property has five double bedrooms, with four on the first floor and a ground floor guest suite with an en-suite shower room.

The house is described as having 'genuine period character and charm'.

The ground floor features a large breakfast kitchen, dining room, and a traditional lounge.

The guest suite on this level has direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged around a nine-metre landing with book nooks.

Outside, the garden is described as a 'genuine sun trap' with a courtyard feel, established planting, and entertaining areas.

The Mediterranean-inspired space can be accessed from the lounge and guest bedroom through French doors.

The house also boasts an integral garage and a sizeable driveway.

LMS Property said: "Although parts of Bryher Cottage retain a distinctive period character, the property is not listed.

"This allows the original character and features to shine through, while giving a new owner the freedom to update, adapt, and put their own stamp on the house over time."

The breakfast kitchen combines traditional-style timber cabinetry with a substantial brick-built breakfast bar, while the lounge retains its period character with exposed timber beams.

The main bedroom enjoys open front views, while the ground-floor guest suite is described as a 'particularly useful addition', providing a bedroom, en-suite shower room, and French doors to the garden.

The estate agent said the room could be used to provide "comfortable accommodation for guests, independent space for a family member, a bedroom for someone who would prefer not to use the stairs, or simply a private retreat away from the four bedrooms upstairs."

The garden is described as having a 'courtyard-like character' with established planting and different areas for outdoor dining and relaxation.

The rear garden is said to be 'one of Bryher Cottages defining features' and 'a genuine sun trap, enjoying sunshine from late morning through the afternoon and into the early evening'.

LMS Property said: "Enclosed by walls and filled with mature planting, palms and established greenery, it has a distinctly Mediterranean-inspired character.

"Timber decking, paved areas, pots, and planting create a series of spaces that feel much more like a private courtyard retreat than a conventional rear garden."
