Cotton Lane, Cotton

Requiring a complete programme of renovation and modernisation, this traditional two-bedroom semi-detached property presents an exciting opportunity to create a truly individual home in the picturesque Staffordshire village of Cotton.
The property retains several characterful features, including traditional woodblock flooring, a tiled open fireplace and an attractive bay window. The ground-floor accommodation begins with an entrance porch and hallway, followed by a lounge, sitting room and an additional reception room connected by an open archway. Together, these rooms provide flexible living and dining space with considerable potential for reconfiguration and improvement.
A galley-style kitchen is fitted with wooden cabinetry, wood-effect work surfaces and a red Rangemaster cooker, while an adjoining utility room provides plumbing and space for a washing machine.
To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a shower room, all of which offer further scope for updating.
The outside space is a particular highlight. A driveway provides ample off-road parking and continues alongside the property to a detached garage with light and power connected. To the rear is an exceptionally generous garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs and established hedging. Although requiring attention and landscaping, the garden offers outstanding potential to create a beautiful family garden with seating, entertaining and recreational areas.
The property benefits from a ground-source heat pump central-heating system, solar panels to the rear roof elevation and an LPG supply to the Rangemaster cooker.
Cotton is an attractive rural village within the Staffordshire Moorlands, surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering access to an abundance of scenic walks. Nearby Cotton Dell Nature Reserve features ancient woodland, flower-rich grassland and picturesque trails through the Churnet Valley.
