Church Cottage, Mavesyn Ridware, WS15

If you think about escaping to a cottage in the country, surrounded by beautiful countryside in a chocolate box thatched cottage (let's be honest, we've all seen The Holiday!) then this stylish, cozy, contemporary and so incredibly quiet cottage in the stunning village of Mavesyn Ridware, is exactly what you are looking for!!

Nestled in this tiny Staffordshire hamlet, this 17th Century cottage has been beautifully renovated, redesigned and finished to create a home where there is genuinely no need to ever leave!! Having considered even the tiniest of details, any concerns over a Grade II listing should now only been considered an advantage, as every inch of this home and its outbuilding has been so meticulously planned and thoughtfully finished that there is now no need to do anything, other than enjoy it. 

Church Cottage itself has recently benefitted from a brand new thatched roof and inside the layout and design of the rooms really enhances the true character of those beautiful fireplaces, the stunning beamed ceilings and those gorgeous cottage windows. 

Two lovely reception rooms and a stylish kitchen occupy the ground floor along with a useful boot/utility room and WC which also enjoys access straight from the gardens. For guests or elderly relatives there is also a lovely ground floor bedroom with two of the most beautiful windows overlooking the courtyard and a private ensuite shower room. 

On the first floor, two further double bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the tranquil surroundings and lying in bed, the noise, or complete lack of it, is incredibly peaceful. And then the bathroom, a contemporary masterpiece with stylish fittings truly enjoying the space and creating a vibe worthy of a hotel suite, and I cant not mention that view of the church tower from the bath tub!!

Outside, clad in 'Shou Sugi Ban; - a Japanese Larchwood, a detached and completely versatile annexe has then been superbly created and offers a wealth of opportunity!! Long term space for parents, an onsite airbnb, a yoga/Pilates studio the options are endless and I love how the design of this building contracts so well with the charm of the cottage!! An industrial, contemporary finish is designed in the kitchen and then the ground floor opens up into a one bedroom studio flat with huge bedroom and absolutely stunning galleried windows soaking up those views!! There is the option to also add a shower room too! Upstairs in the annexe is currently a large office too!!

Outside, the cottage enjoys 360 of garden, hidden patio areas, beautiful cottage planting and lets not forget the Gin cabin (or home office!)

A detached garage then completes the plot. 

With open countryside at every turn, for those who enjoy the outdoors, dog walks or a stroll to a village pub, then locations don't get much better! Lichfield is just a 15 minute drive away or trains into Birmingham or London can be accessed via Rugeley Trent Valley in just a short drive. 

A completely unique, incredibly special home and I cannot wait, to show you around
