Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Nestled in the very heart of the highly desirable village of Horton, within the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands, Church Stile is a quintessential Grade II listed cottage, steeped in history and brimming with charm. Rarely do properties of this calibre and character grace the market in such a sought-after rural setting.

Bursting at the seams with original features, the home showcases stone mullion windows, exposed beams and original flagged flooring—each detail a celebration of its heritage. Thoughtfully and sympathetically improved by the current owners to an exceptional standard, the cottage now offers beautifully presented, warm and homely accommodation, where period character meets refined comfort.

To the ground floor, a cosy lounge welcomes you in, enjoying dual-aspect stone mullion windows and centred around a charming multifuel stove—creating the perfect focal point for relaxed evenings. From here, stairs rise to the first floor and descend to the cellar, while a door leads through to the breakfast kitchen.

The cellar provides excellent additional storage and is cleverly utilised as a utility space. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a beautiful range of cottage-style units, complemented by wood block work surfaces and space for a range-style cooker with extractor over. There is ample room for a breakfast table and chairs, making this a sociable and inviting heart of the home. A small rear porch leads out to the garden beyond.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a delightful double room enjoying lovely views over the front garden and the open fields beyond. Bedroom four sits adjacent and offers a generous single or small double room. The family bathroom has been fitted with a traditional suite, featuring a back-to-wall claw-foot roll-top bath and washstand-style sink, evoking timeless elegance. Alongside, a separate shower room offers a fully tiled shower cubicle, washstand and WC—ideal for modern family living.

Stairs rise to the second floor where two further double bedrooms can be found, along with a sizeable landing area that lends itself perfectly to use as a home office, hobby or yoga space, or even an additional sitting room—offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.

A lawned area is bordered by beautifully stocked cottage garden beds and leads to a timber summer house that commands the most wonderful open views. Raised allotment-style beds will delight keen gardeners, while a paved patio and rear courtyard provides a private seating area alongside two useful brick-built garden stores.
