Wollerton, Market Drayton

BRIEF DESCRIPTION Hawkstone View Cottage is a beautifully extended and renovated Three Bedroom Detached Country Cottage where the extensive Gardens to the front make the most wonderful first impression! It's considered to date from the late 18th century and was formerly the Gardeners' cottages serving the neighbouring Old Hall, Wollerton.

As you turn in through the gates you'll find the first Parking area and to your left the Driveway leads up to the timber framed Garage and independent Studio/Home Office. You'll park here and walk along a gravelled pathway through the long front Garden and up to the picture-perfect front door with timber canopy over.

The door opens into the impressive Lounge which retains the character beams, with a large inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove, Karndean flooring and steps down to the Office, and dual aspect windows letting light flood in to this lovely room. To your right is the light and welcoming Dining Kitchen which offers you Shaker-style units with solid wood surfaces, a Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, electric Range-style oven with extractor fan over, dresser storage unit and pantry, with ceiling spotlights, porcelain tiled floor and a Dining area which has bi-folding doors out to the rear Garden and Velux-style windows, one of which can be remotely opened.

Off the Kitchen a door opens to the inner Hall which has a turning staircase to the first floor Landing, and gives you access to the Cloaks/WC with flooring that was the original terracotta tiles from the old kitchen. This flooring is continued into the Utility/Boot Room which has an integrated washing machine, space for a tall fridge freezer, broom cupboard and a stable door that opens to the rear Garden.

Heading up to the first floor and the Principal Bedroom is a really generous room, with feature beams, original fireplace and floorboards, dual aspect windows, a dressing room and lovely En Suite with double sinks, walk-in shower, a free-standing roll top bath and Karndean flooring. Bedrooms Two and Three also retain their original floorboards and character features and they share a Jack'n'Jill shower room with underfloor heating.

This beautiful property is set in an equally stunning Garden! To the front is the long, lawned Garden with raised Kitchen Garden beds, an young orchard area with an apple, pear, cherry and plum trees, along with gooseberry and black current bushes - and not forgetting the beautiful and very mature, productive cooking apple tree. There's a herb garden, a log store and a large patio entertaining space that's just perfect for enjoying the long summer sunsets. The property also benefits from outdoor water tap points at the north and south extremities, and a double outdoor power socket to the rear of the property next to the bi-fold doors.

The detached Garage has light, power and an electric roller door - and it has been cabled for electric car charging but a charging unit hasn't been installed by the current vendors. The Garden Studio/Office is a lovely light space with 'daylight' tube lights and windows looking out over the pretty Garden.

To the right of the property, a pathway leads round to the rear of the property where you'll find raised beds, a new greenhouse and further patio space in front of the bi-folding doors that fully open to the Dining Kitchen. The path then continues round the right of the house and back to the front Garden.

The quality of this renovated cottage is clear at every turn - from the Karndean flooring to the Lounge, the quality Kitchen with bi-folding doors, underfloor heating provided by the air source heat pump system to the lovely Principal Bedroom suite with roll-top bath. Therefore, it really does need to be viewed to take in everything this property has to offer - so please call our Market Drayton office to be one of the first to view.
