A GRADE II listed cottage in the Chester countryside is set to be auctioned with a guide price of just over £300,000.

Nestled near the village of Tarporley, the picturesque, thatched property dates from the late 17th century and features two large upstairs bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, utility room, and bathroom.

Separate from the cottage is a brick and sandstone barn adding extra storage space or the potential for a workshop or studio.

The property is also adorned with vibrant and mature gardens with an array of shrubs and trees adding to the serene rural setting.

There is even a paddock with separate field access onto the road, allowing you to embrace the countryside lifestyle and perhaps even keep some animals if you so desire.

Selling agent Butters John Bee say the property is suited for modernisation, repair and extension and has given Yew Tree Cottage a guide price of £306,000.

Further information about the property, which will be auctioned on Monday, April 29 at 6.30pm, is available at: Auction Cottage for sale in Cotebrook | Butters John Bee.
