Lipley, Market Drayton, TF9

There’s truly no place like home and if home is where the heart is, then Sycamore Cottage is guaranteed to stir your soul. Sitting proudly on 2.86 acres of glorious grounds, this countryside charmer is more than just a house, it’s a whole lifestyle with stables, a paddock, a garage, breathtaking views and a fabulous four-bedroom main house. It’s the kind of place where your roots can grow deep and your dreams can run wild, literally. As you trot down the tree-lined driveway, you're immediately immersed in the equestrian dream. The paddock greets you to the left, perfectly setting the stage for your horsey companions. Saunter past the stables and make your way to the main house where you can park up, take a breath and let the feeling of coming home wash over you.

Step inside to a warm, welcoming entrance hall/ dining room with rich oak-panelled flooring underfoot. This hub of the home connects you to the living room, where a log burner in a rustic brick surround and French doors to the garden beckon you to kick off your boots and relax. Need a quiet space to work or perhaps a creative nook? The versatile office is ready to become whatever your heart desires. The true heart of the home, the kitchen/dining room with Indian stone floors, charming light blue cabinetry, granite worktops, Belfast sink and a Rangemaster cooker is where memories are made over morning brews and hearty dinners. Open the French doors and let the countryside breeze flow through! A matching utility room and practical boot room offer functionality with flair. But wait, there’s more. A games room at the end of the boot room corridor is your blank canvas, maybe a cinema room, playroom or home bar? You decide. It leads directly to the garage and upstairs, a bonus room currently serving as a home gym offers even more flexibility. Need a yoga studio, art room, fifth bedroom? Saddle up and make it yours.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a showstopper, complete with a dressing area, Juliet balcony with swoon-worthy views and an ensuite so lovely you’ll want to linger. There’s a second ensuite bedroom and two more generous doubles, each with rolling rural views that make you want to throw open the windows and breathe in the good life. A family bathroom with a full tub, W.C, sink and towel radiator completes the upstairs retreat.

Outside, the sun-soaked garden wraps around the home, perfect for BBQs, garden parties or sipping tea while watching the sun set behind the trees. And for your four-legged family members, the real pièce de résistance, a generous paddock and well-equipped stables. Stable block configuration currently provides stabling for 2 horses with generous additional indoor space for storage of feed, tack, equipment and work area for clipping, shoeing and other needs.
