Description

Occupying a truly delightful rural setting amidst the rolling Staffordshire countryside, this charming detached cottage sits within its own grounds and pasture land, enjoying exceptional privacy and far-reaching views across neighbouring farmland.

Nestled on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Hoar Cross, the property offers a rare combination of character accommodation and land, creating an outstanding lifestyle opportunity for those seeking a country retreat, smallholding or equestrian property.

Internally, the cottage is rich in character and charm, with exposed timbers, feature fireplaces and traditional cottage styling throughout. The accommodation provides comfortable and well-maintained living space whilst offering excellent potential for buyers wishing to modernise and personalise to their own specification.

The welcoming sitting room enjoys a wealth of exposed beams together with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for family life. A spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room continues the character theme and provides an excellent entertaining and everyday living space.

To the first floor, the accommodation includes a generous principal bedroom featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and pleasant countryside aspects, together with a further two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway and is surrounded by mature gardens, patio seating areas and useful outbuildings. Beyond, the adjoining paddock land provides excellent versatility for a variety of rural and lifestyle uses, all framed by mature hedgerows and enjoying beautiful open views.

The wonderful setting is undoubtedly the property's defining feature, with uninterrupted countryside vistas creating a peaceful and idyllic environment that is increasingly difficult to find and a short walk up the lane to Jackson's bank where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the woods.

A rare opportunity to acquire a character country home with land in one of Staffordshire's most desirable rural locations.
