Description
Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken, Lay a Little Egg For Me! A home where the views are egg-straordinary, the plot is no small fry, and country living truly comes home to roost, with NO UPWARD CHAIN! Set on a wonderfully generous plot of approximately 1.5 acres with stables, paddock land and sweeping rural scenery in every direction, this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom dormer bungalow is ready to ruffle a few feathers in all the right ways. Whether you’re dreaming of more space, countryside calm or somewhere your lifestyle can truly spread its wings, Fairholme is one cracking opportunity.
Step through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall that immediately sets a warm and homely tone. From here, you’ll find access to the ground floor bedrooms, family bathroom and living spaces, while an attractive staircase rises to the first floor like a proud perch to the principal suite above. The open-plan living/dining room is the social heart of the home, the ultimate coop for gathering family and friends. Stylish wood flooring flows beneath your feet, while a feature log burner takes centre stage, perfect for cosy evenings. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing indoor comfort to merge beautifully with the outdoor surroundings. Close by sits the kitchen, serving up practicality with a side of countryside charm. Offering an array of wood-effect cabinetry, complementary worktops and a large window framing glorious garden views, this is a space where even washing up comes with scenery. Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room, complete with further storage cabinetry, a Belfast sink and rear door access to the garden, ideal for muddy boots, paws, paws-and-claws, or post-paddock clean-ups. A further versatile room can be accessed from the utility, offering endless possibilities. Need a home office? Playroom? Hobby room? Additional storage? The nest is yours to feather. Also on the ground floor are two of the three double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light thanks to large windows, while built-in wardrobes provide handy storage without taking up valuable floor space. The family bathroom completes the ground floor and is bright, airy and beautifully practical. Featuring light tiling, a full-size bath with shower above, WC, standalone sink and dual aspect windows, it’s a room positively basking in natural light.
Head upstairs to discover the principal bedroom suite, which occupies the entire first floor, and frankly, it rules the roost. This impressive retreat offers ample room, built-in mirrored sliding wardrobes, a skylight overhead and a rear window showcasing those glorious rural views. Waking up here each morning? Simply eggsquisite. The accompanying en-suite bathroom includes a corner shower, WC, freestanding sink and access to a storage cupboard, while doors from the bedroom lead to two useful eaves storage areas, because every good nest needs hidden storage spots. The home also benefits from roof-mounted solar panels, adding energy efficiency and everyday convenience.
Step outside and Fairholme really begins to strut its stuff. A gated driveway provides secure and convenient parking, while the initial rear garden offers lawned areas, established shrubs and planting beds ready for keen gardeners to get their claws into. There’s also a charming garden cabin with both electricity and lighting, ideal as an entertaining hideaway, home office, studio or summer retreat. Think prosecco perch, garden pub, or peaceful workspace with birdsong on tap. And then… the true golden egg: stables, agricultural store/workshop and paddock land. Perfect for equestrian enthusiasts, hobby farmers, animal lovers or anyone craving outdoor space, shelter and endless possibilities. Whether horses, hobbies or simply room to roam, this setup is something to crow about.
Situated in Maer Heath, Fairholme offers the best of both worlds: idyllic rural living with excellent access to amenities, schools and transport links in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Baldwins Gate. Peaceful, practical and perfectly placed.
