An extremely rare opportunity to purchase a partially stone-built, detached cottage providing deceptively spacious accommodation set on the rural outskirts of the highly sought-after village, enjoying a high degree of privacy, yet within easy reach of amenities in Alton.

Set back off Red Road on a private driveway with three properties, viewing and consideration is strongly recommended.

The amenities found in the desirable village include convenience shops, a First School, Public Houses and Restaurants, a village hall and a hair salon. There are numerous walks through the stunning surrounding countryside. The towns of Uttoxeter, Ashbourne and Cheadle are all within easy, commutable distance, as are the world headquarters of JCB and road networks.  

Accommodation A part-obscured Upvc double glazed doors leads to the enclosed porch which provides boot storage and has a part-glazed door leading to the delightful living / dining room which provides the heart of the cottage; having dual-aspect windows providing natural light and a focal chimney breast with ab oil-fired Stanley range, plus stairs rising to the first floor with an under stairs cupboard.

The second reception room is a separate sitting room which has a front-facing window enjoying a pleasant outlook and a focal fireplace with a cast coal-effect burner set on a hearth.

Extending to the full width of the cottage at the rear is the kitchen, fitted with a range of base and eye level units with work surfaces and inset sink unit set below one of the rear-facing windows, filled LPG hob with an electric oven under, space for further appliances and a further window to the side.

The good sized brick, base and Upvc double-glazed constructed conservatory has power, heating and provides a further spacious reception room which overlooks the grounds and surrounding countryside, with a door opening to the gardens. A further door leads to the fitted ground floor shower room which has a three-piece suite incorporating a corner shower cubicle.

To the first floor, the landing leads to the three bedrooms, two of which can accommodate a double bed and all enjoying beautiful views over the grounds and surrounding countryside.

Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom that has a white four-piece suite with complimentary tiled splashbacks.

Outside, the cottage is set in grounds which extend to approximately 1.64 acres, enjoying the valley setting with gardens and planted areas, numerous sheds, a brook running through the lover level and a paddock at the rear of the property.

A shared private drive leads to timber five-bar gates and the gravelled hardstanding which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles leading to the two garages (4.53m x 3.55m and 4.32m x 2.52m).

The property has an oil-fired central heating system and private septic tank drainage.
