Quarry Cottage, Old Mill Lane, Stoke on Trent

Quarry Cottage – Where History Flows on Old Mill Lane

Nestled within the heart of the highly desirable village of Bagnall, Quarry Cottage is a truly enchanting two-bedroom semi-detached period home dating back to 1831. Rich in history, brimming with character and occupying a wonderfully peaceful position on picturesque Old Mill Lane, this unique cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, countryside living and modern convenience.

Surrounded by stunning scenery and beautiful walking routes, Quarry Cottage enjoys an enviable village setting. Stanley Pool Reservoir is just a short stroll away, offering breathtaking waterside walks and an abundance of nature on your doorstep. The much-loved Stafford Arms country pub, a true focal point of village life, is within easy walking distance, while the ever-popular Jacksons Nurseries and Tea Rooms are also close by. It is a location that perfectly captures the best of rural village living whilst remaining conveniently connected.

The property itself is every bit as charming as its surroundings.

A private driveway, located just across from the cottage, provides parking for up to three vehicles and includes an EV charger. The driveway leads to a detached double garage with electric roller shutter door, power and lighting. Beyond this lies a further private garden area with patio seating, creating a wonderfully secluded outdoor retreat hidden away from view.

Stepping inside, a useful entrance porch provides space for coats and shoes before opening into a character-filled cottage kitchen. Instantly welcoming, this delightful space showcases exposed stone walls, an oak staircase, a charming log-burning stove and three windows that flood the room with natural light, including a beautiful bay window to the front elevation. Sleek fitted cabinetry provides ample storage alongside integrated appliances, while a practical understairs cupboard offers additional storage space.

A rear door leads to a cosy paved patio with log store – the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee while soaking up the surrounding countryside atmosphere.

A convenient downstairs WC is located just off the kitchen, adding practicality to this charming home.

To the rear, the spacious open-plan lounge and dining room provides a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining. Character features continue with exposed stonework and a bay window, while large patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors.

The first floor offers a layout every bit as unique as the cottage itself. The exposed stone wall continues upstairs, leading to a generous landing area currently utilised as a home office. Offering excellent versatility, this space could potentially be enclosed to create an additional bedroom or nursery, subject to requirements. A charming glazed door opens onto a Juliet-style balcony, where stunning countryside views provide a beautiful backdrop and a truly special feature rarely found in homes of this size.

The split landing leads to two generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom offers useful built-in storage currently serving as wardrobe space.

Completing the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom fitted with contemporary tiling, a bath with overhead shower and attractive vanity storage units.

Outside, the side garden is a delightful suntrap and a wonderfully peaceful space to relax. Arranged across several levels for added interest, it features paved seating areas, planted borders, decorative trees and a charming pond. Thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, it offers everything needed to embrace outdoor living without the upkeep of a larger garden.

Steeped in nearly two centuries of history, full of original character and occupying one of Bagnall's most sought-after locations, Quarry Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special village home. Properties with such charm, individuality and setting seldom come to market, making this an opportunity not to be missed.
