The nearby village of Netherseal benefits from a village hall, sports club, an extensive public footpath network and an Ofsted Good rated school. The centre of the village is now a conservation area and has many listed buildings such as the 17th century Alms Houses and St. Peter's Church which was built in the 19th century. It is situated four miles south of Swadlincote off the A444. The property is well placed for access to the M42, providing links to the M1, M6 Toll road, A5 and A38. Nearby airports include Birmingham Airport, East Midlands Airport, and mainline railway stations at Burton upon Trent, Tamworth and Birmingham International are all within easy reach. From Tamworth train station there are regular services to London Euston, taking less than 90 minutes, making this location an ideal spot for those working in the capital. Independent schools in the area include Twycross House School, Lichfield Cathedral School, and Repton School.
Cottage Farm is an impressive four/five-bedroom detached family residence offering just over 3,500 sq. ft. of living space across two thoughtfully planned floors and outbuildings - the perfect canvas for a luxurious yet practical lifestyle.
The home boasts three/four impressive and versatile reception rooms, with the heart of the home being the impressive open plan kitchen/dining area. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of two-tone wall and base units fitted with quartz worksurfaces over, a generous range of integrated kitchen appliances including a Quooker tap, wine fridge, two dishwashers and two ovens. There is feature under cabinet lighting, windows to the rear and side aspects, and bi-folding doors leading out to the patio seating area. Accessed from the kitchen is the useful utility room and guest cloakroom.

This cleverly designed room features a log burning stove, carpeted flooring, French doors to the patio at the front of property and an orangery with a large roof lantern, windows to both the rear and side aspects, plus French doors to the delightful gardens.

The versatile third reception room is currently used as a sitting room and has carpeted flooring, an exposed beam to the ceiling, and windows to the front and side aspects. This room would also create an ideal playroom or home/office.
Upstairs, there are four generous double bedrooms, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, and two further benefit from their own en-suite. The impressive master bedroom features exposed beams to the ceiling and a Juliet balcony. Bedrooms three and four share the spacious family bathroom.
Outside is where this home really shows off, with well-kept grounds spanning over 1.3 acres, having manicured lawns, an abundance of plants, trees and shrubs, plus an area of woodland. The property is approached via secure electric gates opening onto the large, gravelled drive with adjacent lawns, leading to the detached double garage which boasts an annex above.
