Quarry Cottage is a surprising gem on the very edge of Gnosall village and with its extensive garden of approximately an acre becomes a retreat away from traffic and not overlooked from any other properties. This sandstone building is bursting with character, but yet with full electric storage central heating. Entry is via a modern conservatory which picks up the flavour of the building with an exposed internal stone wall. A tiled roof makes for a delightful all season sitting area which demands constant use. Leading in from this is the modern kitchen, the centre of which is a gas fired aga and a separate gas hob providing extensive cooking facilities. An archway leads to a small utility area which manages to house a fridge/ freezer and a freezer, a washing machine, a downstairs toilet and a dresser. Into the main area of the house is the dining room which is easily serviced from the cooking department. It has a generous full length window for extra light. Leading from this is a short corridor with a cloaks area in the stair well. This also serviced a front door. Beyond leads to the living room. This is of generous proportions having also an open fireplace built on a stone plinth bringing it into the 21st century. A French door opens into the rear garden for getting evening sun on a balmy summers evening. Secondary glazing all round makes for any time use. Exposed roofing beams reflects the cottages history. Up the short stairway with a delightfully quirky half landing giving it natural light and leads to an interesting landing area and four generously sized bedrooms. These are serviced by two bathrooms with toilets, one shower room the other with a bath and the airing cupboard with an electric emersion heater. There is a lot more yet… an outside boiler house contains the electric central heating boiler based on night storage power. Storage here for freezer, a few bins and a wood stack area and a coal hopper. Next to that lot is a brick apple store for the fruits of the garden. Into the garden is a very generous studio, currently used for garden equipment, but with water and wired for electricity this approximately 6mx4m substantial timber building suggests many purposes. Further up the mature garden is an ultra-modern greenhouse with automatic ventilation which replaced four 30+m vegetable beds with concrete standing. A number of a number of mature apple trees to provide sustenance lead to a pair of sturdily built timber garages. The drive leads away to the alternative access to Quarry Cottage, along the side of the quarry, but well sectioned off. The quarry, long since disused occupies another half an acre off the top of the garden. The quarry has had little recent use, but lends itself to some sporting activity. The driveway continues via some farm tracks into the country and also bridges the ‘shroppy’ canal.
