Dating from around 1820 and situated towards the end of a row of brick built cottages, Highwayman's Cottage is understood to have been of historical interest within Knutsford town having been an ancillary dwelling to "Highwayman Higgins" House on Gaskell Avenue behind. Over more recent years the cottage has been restored and now provides lovely accommodation arranged over two floors and detailed below. Of particular interest are the walled courtyard cottage garden to the rear and the fact that within a matter of footsteps the heath and the town centre are immediately available.
LOCATION
The property is within a short walk of the cosmopolitan town of Knutsford, an old market town rich in heritage and brimming with a variety of architectural features, particularly those built in an Italianate Tuscan style by the famous local architect, Richard Harding Watt. Linked by a web of ginnels, cobbles and courtyards, the two main streets are home to a variety of shops ranging from boutiques to antique shops, purveyors of fine wines and chocolate to art galleries and interior design specialists. There are also however, a few familiar multiple retail outlets, including Booths and Boots. Evenings in Knutsford are very lively with many fine wine bars, pubs and restaurants catering for most tastes. For the outdoor enthusiast, Knutsford borders some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside and has the famous Tatton Park Country Estate on its doorstep with its Regency mansion, glorious gardens, traditional farm and medieval old hall. The town centre offers Leisure Centre facilities as well as numerous private sporting clubs and notable golf courses within easy reach. For the commuter, access to the nearby North West motorway network is readily available, as is Manchester International Airport and the rail station has links to Chester and Manchester. Excellent education facilities cater for children of most ages in both the state and private sectors.
DIRECTIONS
From the roundabout in Canute Square travel along Gaskell Avenue turning left onto Stanley Road where the cottage will then be seen on your left.
