Introduction & Exterior

Viewers will fall in love with this gorgeous cottage in the idyllic hamlet of Weeford near to Lichfield. The cottage is in the centre of a row of three and has accompanying grounds that are very impressive. This really is a rare property for those people who are seeking a smaller home whilst having lots of garden space and a large garage or outbuilding. The garden is bordered by open countryside where children can play, and guests can be entertained with fabulous views in peace and quiet.

The outbuildings, or barns as they affectionately known, comprise of a large garage with double doors to access and an adjoining large store room. The garage has a boarded loft with fixed ladder to access and there is electricity making this ideal for anyone looking to run a business or hobby from here. There is also a cold tap on the outside of the garage. There is of course plenty of space for parking available.

Approaching the house, the gated frontage has an enchanting garden with attractive flowers and plants, and a seating patio near to the front door. At the rear of the cottage is another patio (or small yard) which is another private space for an outdoor furniture set. There are two further outbuildings that include an impressively fitted utility room with skylight window, and a store room. The utility includes a row of units including a freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A secure gate from the yard allows access into the neighbouring garden as set out in the deeds. Potential buyers will be happy to learn that the neighbouring property does not have access into this garden.

Ground Floor

Viewers will enter the home into a short hallway that is still a good size for removing coats and shoes. Immediately ahead is the wooden staircase leading up to the first floor, with a door to the lounge at the left. If the grounds and outbuildings weren’t impressive enough, viewers will fall in love with the presentation of the cottage interior especially when moving into the lounge. It features exposed wooden floorboards, an ornate surround around the traditional gas fireplace set into an exposed brick chimney and a column radiator. With dining designated within the kitchen, the lounge is a generous room for the owners to relax.

A door to the rear of the lounge opens into a fabulous farmhouse-style kitchen. Along with the quarry tiled flooring, immediately of note will be the range oven set within another brick chimney breast and a magnificent Belfast sink. The latter required the kitchen suite to be bespoke fitted around the window to fit it in, providing a wonderful centrepiece. The remainder of suite includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, plenty of unit storage and work surface space. Access to a pantry is at the right side of the room which is formed from the under stairs storage. An exit door to the rear yard is also present from the kitchen.

First Floor

As viewers make their to the first floor, the angled staircase turns into a corridor landing that has doors leading off to both bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a hatch above opening to a remarkable T-shaped loft space that is boarded and has a folding ladder to access.

Both bedrooms are double sized with the larger of the two being at the front of the cottage. Bedroom one features a continuation of the chimney breast , exposed wooden floorboards and access to a walk-in wardrobe above the staircase void. Bedroom two is carpeted and has fabulous views over the rear yard and countryside beyond.

The family bathroom has been recently refitted by the current owners and keeps with the traditions of the cottage. It features a lovely clawfoot bathtub with shower fitted over, a pedestal wash basin and a toilet. Wooden panelling with shelving provides a lovely accompanying touch and there is a large linen cupboard near to the entrance to the bathroom.

SERVICES

Being in rural location such as this, it should come without surprise that the property isn’t served by mains gas or drainage. Attentive viewers will have noted the LPG tank on the photos positioned behind the garage. The drainage is via a shared septic tank. Further details are available on request.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Weeford is near to both the A5 and A38 making this a sensational spot for commuters. The village was originally link to both before the rerouting of the A5 and remodelling of the A38 segregated the village so that there is no longer any passing traffic, adding to the many buying features.

The best train station for the new owners to use would be Lichfield Trent Valley railway station which is around a 10-minute drive. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES
