Stoneydale, Oakamoor, ST10

“See you later, alligator… in a while, crocodile!” “Oh, but you will,” said the alligator. “You’ll be back… these views are simply stunning!” And you know what? He might just be right. This little beauty has plenty to sink your teeth into. Nestled in the peaceful village of Oakamoor, this charming home combines generous living space, two double bedrooms, beautiful gardens and views that are nothing short of jaw-dropping. If you’re looking for somewhere to escape, explore and enjoy the great outdoors, this could be the perfect snapping spot. Alligator has certainly put a lot of faith in his property, and quite frankly, he should. From the moment you step through the door, there’s something rather special waiting to be discovered. First up, the cosy lounge. A welcoming space with plenty of room for your favourite soft furnishings and a lovely log burner adding that extra touch of warmth. It’s the perfect place to curl up, put your feet up and relax after a day of crocodile-sized adventures. Settle in with a film and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Open the double doors and the home really starts to open its jaws. A bright and airy dining room awaits, with plenty of room for a large dining table. Whether it’s a Sunday roast, a family feast or simply a few friends gathered around, there’s plenty of room to eat, drink and be merry. Glazed patio doors seamlessly connect the dining space with the garden, bringing the outside in and allowing you to keep an eye on the views. Then you have the kitchen. Solid wooden cabinets sit beneath a stone-effect worktop, providing plenty of storage and workspace. With room for all your essential appliances, it’s more than enough space to whip up something delicious enough to tempt even the hungriest alligator. Head upstairs and you’ll find two double bedrooms, each offering plenty of space to relax and unwind. Whether you’re creating peaceful bedrooms, a guest room or a home office, there’s plenty of room to make the space your own. A family shower room completes the accommodation. But now it’s time to follow the trail… Outside to the rear, the garden is larger than life, and the views are even bigger. Follow the patio around between the fluffy hedgerows and paved stepping stones, and you’ll find yourself wandering through a large, lush green lawn surrounded by mature trees and woodland. It’s peaceful, private and feels like your very own little crocodile kingdom. Venture through another hedgerow and there’s even more to discover. A further garden area opens out towards fields dotted with sheep, with an ever-green valley stretching out beyond. And perched perfectly to take it all in is a decked seating area, your very own lookout spot. It’s the perfect place to sit back, soak up the scenery and let the world pass by. Morning coffee, an evening drink or simply watching the wildlife, this is a garden you’ll never tire of exploring. In fact, you might find yourself becoming rather attached to your new territory. To the front of the property, a driveway provides useful off-road parking, meaning there’s no need to worry about finding a place to park when you return from your adventures.
