3 bedroom cottage

A very pretty country cottage with a courtyard garden, separate small paddock, outbuilding and two stables. The Old Post Office occupies an enviable position being just few minutes drive of the popular small town of Eccleshall and is also in the perfect spot for those wishing to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The cottage has three brightly lit reception rooms and a smartly fitted Kitchen on ground floor and three comfortably sized bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. There is a very appealing south facing courtyard garden to the rear and side of the cottage. Across the lane from the cottage are two useful outbuildings including two stables, a feed store and a field shelter standing within a paddock which extends to approximately 0.38 of an acre.

The cottage is set back from the lane behind a low wall and forecourt from where the front door opens into the Reception Room which is lit by windows to three sides and has a log burning stove and space for a dining table. A door opens to the Sitting Room which overlooks the front of the property and is a very appealing cosy room and is also fitted with a log burning stove. A staircase rises to the first floor. The Kitchen has been recently re fitted with a smart range of units which are topped by a modern composite work surface and has been well thought out to make best use of the available space. The Kitchen is open through to the Garden Room making this a fantastic space for everyday living and entertaining. French doors open out the garden and a roof lantern floods the room with light. There is a small vestibule to the rear from where a door opens to the Guest Cloak Room.

On the first floor the landing has doors opening to two double bedrooms which overlook the front of the cottage and a comfortably sized single bedroom. The Bathroom is fitted with a white suite which incorporates a “p” shaped bath with a shower over.

A gated arch from the front opens into the attractive courtyard garden which is paved to allow for outdoor seating and is edged by raised beds which soften the hard landscaping. Across the lane from the cottage is an area of paddock which extends to approximately 0.38 of an acre. There are two useful outbuildings, a small brick and tile store and a substantial timber building which provides two large stables, feed store and a field shelter. The paddock is split into two, enclosed by post and rail fencing, which adds greatly to the amenity of the cottage.

Oil fired central heating is supplied by a recently installed oil boiler, mains drainage and water are connected to the property.
