**8 Princess Street, Bollington**
**A Charming Bollington Cottage Full of Character – With a Modern Twist**
**Two bedrooms | Character cottage | Beautiful kitchen/diner | Wood-burning stove | Generous bathroom | Stunning countryside surroundings | Excellent storage | Central Bollington**
**If you're looking for a home that feels instantly welcoming, full of character and right in the heart of village life, 8 Princess Street could be exactly what you've been waiting for.**
Behind its attractive red-brick frontage lies a **beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage** that combines the charm of a traditional Bollington home with a number of important modern improvements.
Step inside and the **cosy sitting room immediately sets the tone**. With its Stovax wood-burning stove, herringbone flooring and characterful atmosphere, this is the sort of room that makes you want to put your feet up, light the fire and stay awhile.
But it is the **kitchen/diner that really brings the home to life**.
Thoughtfully designed, the kitchen combines wooden cabinetry, crisp white quartz worktops, feature tiling and a traditional Belfast sink. A Stoves range cooker, integrated appliances, useful breakfast bar and excellent storage make this a genuinely practical space, while the adjoining dining area creates somewhere to sit and enjoy meals with friends or family.
Upstairs, **both bedrooms offer a lovely sense of space and light**. The principal bedroom enjoys views towards the surrounding hills, while the generous second bedroom is currently arranged with a useful workspace — making it equally suitable as a home office, guest bedroom or second double bedroom.
The **exceptionally generous bathroom** is another pleasant surprise. Larger than you might expect in a cottage of this style, it provides plenty of room for a bath with shower over, wash basin and useful everyday storage.
And there's more.
The **fully boarded, insulated and lit attic**, with fixed access, provides a substantial amount of additional storage — an often-overlooked feature that can make a huge difference to everyday life.
Outside, the rear courtyard provides a charming shared space for sitting out, planting and enjoying the outdoors, together with **two built-in storage areas exclusively for the property**.
**Peace of mind comes as standard**
The property has also benefited from a number of significant improvements, including:
* **Combination gas boiler installed in 2025**
* **Triple-glazed front windows**
* **Composite front door**
* **Double glazing replaced throughout the remainder of the property**
* **Chimney flashing renewed in 2024**
* **Flat roof recovered in 2020**
* **Fully boarded, insulated and lit attic**
So while the property retains all the charm you would hope for from a Bollington cottage, several of the important practical jobs have already been taken care of.
# # # **And then there's Bollington...**
Known affectionately as **the "Happy Valley"**, Bollington offers something increasingly difficult to find — genuine village life surrounded by beautiful countryside.
From Princess Street, the village centre is just a short stroll away, putting **independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants** within easy reach.
Walk in the opposite direction and you have the **canal, River Dean, Middlewood Way and surrounding hills**, with miles of countryside waiting to be explored.
It's a location that makes it possible to leave the car behind and enjoy the village on foot, while Macclesfield is only a few miles away for wider amenities and transport connections.
