Common Lane, Stone, ST15

Well, lookey here, 'Country comes to Town!

Yes, it really is possible to enjoy the best of both worlds, town convenience with a slice of country life right on your doorstep. Nestled within a 0.81-acre plot and backing directly onto open countryside, this charming three-bedroom detached home offers the semi rural lifestyle you have been looking for.

Surrounded by beautiful rural views, wildflower borders and open green spaces, this property captures the essence of country living. From morning walks across the common to afternoons tending your vegetable patch, every corner of this home embraces the great outdoors and the slower pace of country life.
Step into the home to the welcoming porch, the perfect spot for muddy boots, wellies and country coats after a walk through the fields. The entrance hall guides you through every corner of this home, beginning with a thoughtfully upgraded kitchen featuring sleek cabinetry, contrasting worktops and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, double oven, induction hob with extractor, and a convenient boiling water tap.

The heart of the home is the cosy living room, where a crackling log burner creates the perfect farmhouse atmosphere during cooler evenings. Glazed French doors open onto the gardens, while the open-plan flow into the sitting and dining room creates a wonderful space for family gatherings and entertaining. A vaulted ceiling floods the room with natural light, while additional French doors invite the countryside in and frame the surrounding rural views. Off the kitchen, one generous pantry and storage spaces provide excellent practical space, alongside a convenient ground-floor W/C.
Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with its very own en-suite shower room. The family shower room features a walk-in rainfall shower.

A detached two-storey studio presents exciting potential for auxiliary residential accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions for change of use which have been applied for. The ground floor offers an open studio area alongside a kitchen and pantry, while upstairs benefits from bright skylights and a bathroom with a bath and shower combination.

Adjacent sits an impressive detached triple garage, complemented by a large covered log store, ideal for keeping winter fuel dry and ready for the fire. To the front, a large gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.


Outside is where this property truly shines! Set within the substantial 0.81-acre plot, the grounds offer the feel of a small country holding, with expansive lawns, established specimen trees, colourful shrubberies, wildflower planting and a dedicated area perfect for vegetable gardens, raised beds or even a productive kitchen garden.


Accessed via the peaceful Common Lane and positioned alongside Walton Heath Common, this exceptional home offers endless opportunities for dog walks, family adventures and enjoying nature right from your gate. It is a rare opportunity to embrace a country lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of town amenities within walking distance. This home is the true reflection of where country truly does come to town.
