Church Road, Ashley

PROPERTY OVERVIEW Being Offered with No Upward Chain - A delightful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage, brimming with period character and enjoying a wonderful outlook across open countryside to the rear. Situated in the village of Ashley, this distinctive home offers an abundance of exposed beams, brick and stonework, complemented by a wood-burning stove, traditional range-style cooker, attractive gardens, driveway parking and an attached garage.

The lounge has exposed ceiling and wall timbers accompanied by a wood-burning stove within an imposing brick fireplace with stone hearth, creating an inviting focal point and enhancing the cottage atmosphere. The separate dining room provides ample space for a dining table and continues the period theme with an impressive arrangement of exposed beams and a brick fireplace.

In the kitchen, cream Shaker-style units are teamed with contrasting work surfaces and tiled flooring with a traditional range-style cooker that takes centre stage and complements the rustic detailing beautifully.

Moving to the first floor, there are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being particularly striking. Exposed wall and roof timbers form an eye-catching backdrop, accompanied by stripped wooden floorboards. The bathroom provides a more contemporary contrast and is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC. Grey-toned tiling is combined with painted panelling and wooden flooring to create a smart finish.

Outside, the property is approached over a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking and access to the attached garage. The garage has electric and water supply, windows and a solid concrete foundation on the ground floor level and the upper level is boarded and supported by solid metal support structure, so is ready to be converted subject to planning permission. It would make a perfect single or double level extension to the house, annex, or even potential Air BnB business.

A lawn, established hedging and climbing plants soften the frontage and complement the cottage exterior. A covered side passage provides access through to the rear garden, where a paved patio offers space for garden furniture and outdoor entertaining. Beyond is a neatly maintained lawn with established borders, planting and traditional boundary features.

One of the property's greatest assets is undoubtedly the open aspect to the rear, with views extending across neighbouring fields and surrounding countryside, providing a wonderful rural backdrop to the garden.

Combining a wealth of period detail and an enviable countryside outlook, this individual cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in Ashley. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this appealing property has to offer. 

LOCATION Ashley is a much sought-after country village on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border with a village green, popular local pub, and busy Doctors' Surgery.

The next village of Loggerheads has a Co-Op Supermarket, Primary School, Post Office, Library, Hairdressers, Pub, Café, Fish & Chip Shop, Indian Restaurant and Chinese Take Away - and there's another Primary School in the village of Mucklestone.
