Property of the Week is brought to you by our partners, Bespoke by Northwood.
This week, we take a look around Bluebell Cottage in Rainow on the edge of the Peak District.
With a guide price of £800,000, this seven-bedroom property boasts views of the Manchester skyline and around a third of an acre of private grounds.
“Some homes stand out the moment you arrive. Bluebell Cottage is one of them,” the listing reads.
“Set on the edge of the Peak District with around a third of an acre of grounds and far-reaching views towards Manchester city centre, this is a home with a genuinely individual feel and a setting that is incredibly hard to replicate.
“The accommodation adapts effortlessly around modern living. Extensive bedroom space, work from home potential, guest accommodation, multigenerational living. The layout gives you flexibility without losing the warmth and character expected from a home in this setting.”

Bluebell Cottage offers versatile accommodation centred around an impressive galleried hallway and landing which completely shapes the character of the home.
Bright, open and architectural in design, it creates a sense of scale and flow that immediately sets the property apart.
The main lounge is full of personality, with exposed beams, generous proportions and a feature fireplace creating a space that feels both cosy and impressive.
The dining kitchen has been designed around family life and entertaining, with extensive workspace, integrated appliances and direct access out towards the gardens.

Upstairs, the galleried landing continues to be one of the standout features of the home, connecting a series of spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, including a generous principal suite with en suite facilities.
Outside, the grounds wrap around the property beautifully. Lawned gardens, mature greenery, elevated woodland sections and multiple seating areas create a setting that feels peaceful, private and completely detached from the pace of everyday life.
For families, the garden is something special. Slides, rope swings, space to explore and woodland sections with incredible treehouse potential create the sort of environment children dream about growing up in.

On location, the listing adds: “On a clear day, the Manchester skyline stretches out across the distance. It is a contrast that feels hard to believe until you see it in person. Peak District surroundings with direct visual links back towards the city.
“What makes Bluebell Cottage even more special is how connected it remains. Macclesfield town centre and train station are around 10 minutes away, with direct rail links reaching Manchester in around 20 minutes and London in less than two hours.
“Homes with this level of individuality rarely come to market because there simply are not many like them.
“The property also benefits from lapsed planning permission for a replacement outbuilding incorporating a gym, shower room and first floor storage/hobby space, offering further potential for buyers looking to expand the lifestyle already on offer here.”
