Enjoying a superb rural position surrounded by open fields, this charming and generously proportioned 4-bedroom detached cottage boasts glorious, far-reaching views across the local countryside yet is only five minutes from both Stafford and Coppenhall village. Stafford Grammar School is less than two miles away and the M6, A449, and A518 are all exceptionally easy to reach from the property. The cottage is thought to date back at least to the mid-1800s, originally serving as agricultural accommodation and still retaining a wealth of period features, including rustic beamed ceilings. Sitting on approximately an acre of land, this wonderful rural home is ideal for families hoping to settle down in an idyllic location with unusually convenient access to local schooling, other amenities, and extensive rail and road links. The cottage includes a charming dining hall, a lounge with fireplace, and a large breakfast kitchen fitted with solid wood units, a delightful breakfast area, and a wood-burning stove. Across the first floor, the house offers a light and spacious master bedroom in addition to three further excellent double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Within the grounds, the cottage provides a stunning mature garden with orchard, vegetable plots including two green houses, and beautiful landscape views. Gated parking is available at the front elevation before a substantial double garage. Originally the farm’s dairy, a second large outbuilding offers a sizeable fitted laundry/boot room and a workshop, with storage space over (Old Hay Loft). Additionally, a delightful two-room, first-floor office, with air conditioning, above the garage represents considerable potential for annex accommodation or other purposes (subject to planning permissions), having previously been used to support a home business.
