The asking price seems relatively reasonable compared to some nearby properties, particularly considering the character and location. However, the significantly small size (500 sq ft) and the minimal land should be taken into account. Lack of data on average price per sq ft in this village makes a comprehensive comparison impossible, however, the price seems fair but perhaps not a bargain.

The property appears well-maintained and updated in the photos, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. However, the small size and the slightly cramped layout might be perceived as less spacious than what one expects from a cottage of this style. The exposed brickwork adds character, but it also means that certain repairs or upkeep might be more labour intensive. The overall condition is good but not exceptional.

Rainow is a desirable village in Cheshire, known for its picturesque setting and community feel. The proximity to Rainow Primary School (rated Outstanding) is a significant plus for families. While slightly removed from major transport links, the relatively close distance to Macclesfield train station offers some commuting convenience. The surrounding countryside adds to the appeal, but its remoteness might be a drawback for some buyers.

The property has a very small, minimally usable outdoor space. More accurately, it’s a small courtyard area not a proper garden. This significantly limits outdoor space and reduces the overall appeal, particularly to families or individuals who value gardening or substantial outdoor amenities.
