Copmere End, Stafford

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Old Post Office is a rare find! It's a quintessential Three Bedroom Country Cottage that's been stylishly updated throughout, with a pretty Courtyard Garden and 0.38 acres of Paddocks with Stable Block - set in the heart of the hamlet of Copmere End, and just a five minute drive from the highly popular village of Eccleshall.

A picket gate set in a stone wall opens to the front courtyard and then the front door opens into the Dining Hall - a lovely warm and welcoming space with a quarry tiled floor that has a pretty inlaid tile border, triple aspect windows and a multi-fuel stove in an inset fireplace with oak mantle over.

The Kitchen has a good range of Shaker-style units with an inset sink, integrated dishwasher and bin store, and space for your oven with extractor fan over and a tall fridge freezer. The Kitchen is open to the Garden Room which has light flooding in through the sky lantern and French doors out to the pretty rear Courtyard. Off the Garden Room is the walk-in coats store and the ground floor WC.

Returning to the Dining Hall and a door leads through to the warm and cosy Lounge with a multi-fuel stove in a feature Cotswold stone fire surround, tiled floor and bow window to the front.

Stairs from the Lounge lead up to the first floor Landing, off which are two Double Bedrooms which have lovely views over the paddock and fields beyond, and a generous Single Bedroom that is currently used as a Home Office. Completing the accommodation is the Bathroom with a P-shaped bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

The part-walled Courtyard Garden is the perfect space for entertaining, and is a real sun trap for catching the afternoon sun.

Just across the lane are your Paddocks and Stable Block which back on to fields with mature trees and hedgerows, and Copmere Lake beyond. To the front of the stables is a large parking area where you could comfortably park four cars and a horsebox/trailer, and a brick-built store that was formerly a piggery.

The stables are built on a concrete base, and are divided into a large stable, a store area that's currently divided into two smaller stables for the Shetland ponies that live here, and a covered, enclosed space ideal for storing hay/bedding. There's a small turnout paddock to the left of the stables and then a larger paddock to the right with a field shelter.

The vendors currently have two Shetland ponies, but this land would also be perfect as a smallholding or an allotment garden. Being on a concrete base, the stables could have the potential to change the stables to a triple garage dependent on any required planning permissions.

This lovely Cottage and land really do need to be viewed to appreciate the space and potential it offers - so please call the team at our Market Drayton office to arrange your viewing.
 

LOCATION Copmere End is a rural Hamlet with a popular village pub, that's just 1.5 miles from the highly desirable village of Eccleshall with its great mix of local shops, cafes, pubs, a supermarket, butchers, garden center and saddlery. The county town of Stafford is a twenty minute drive, and has a wider range of shops and facilities, a mainline railway station and access to the M6 motorway.
