An outstanding 4 bedroom detached cottage refurbished and extended to the most exacting of standards, set within a 0.41 acre plot bordered by a stream close to the village of Moddershall.
Situation
Situated on the edge of Moddershall Valley conservation area in a peaceful and picturesque hamlet adjacent to the canal town of Stone. The Cottage benefits from rural living yet with easy access to local amenities, including nearby Moddershall Oaks Country Spa Retreat which offers indoor and outdoor spa facilities and lakeside dining, whilst The Boar Inn is within walking distance and sits opposite a picturesque duck pond.
Stone offers a range of local shops and restaurants, with a regular Farmers Market, and various events taking place such as The Stone Festival in June and Stone Food and Drinks Festival in October. The Trentham Garden Estate is approximately 3.4 miles away and offers delightful walks, boat trips, and plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from, along with an extensive diary of events, whilst Trentham Golf Club which is an Open Championship Qualifying course and one of the finest in Staffordshire is also close by.
The property is very well placed for access to the regional road network. The A34 provides a swift connection to the M6 with junction 15 being just 7 miles distant for northbound journeys to Cheshire and Manchester and junction 14 is also 7 miles away for southbound journeys to Birmingham and the West Midlands. A few miles to the north is the A50 offering the easy link to the M42 and M1. Train services run to London Euston from Stafford with journey times from 1 hour 21 minutes whilst trains to Manchester Piccadilly take just 56 minutes and less than 40 minutes to Birmingham New Street. There is an excellent range of schooling within the immediate area and a selection of these include Oulton First School, St Dominic’s Priory School, Alleyne’s Academy, Christ Church Academy, Yarlet School, and Stafford Grammar School.
Description
The Cottage represents a unique opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding family home which has been conscientiously renovated and substantially improved by its current owners. The northern section of the property is believed to date back to the early 1800s and retains a plethora of period features, whilst the southern section has been rebuilt with the two sections being joined by a fantastic glazed link. A phenomenal level of detail has been carefully introduced to the property, with much of the reclaimed materials used in the renovations having been sourced locally such as the veined slate sills and bullnose Staffordshire blue bricks.
The Cottage is accessed via a pair of automated gates hung from stone gate pillars which allow access via a long sweeping gravel driveway flanked by a timber sleeper wall with up down lights. The house enjoys delightful rural views and a superb, mature setting with wonderful front and rear gardens.
Accommodation
Approached via a crescent shaped front terrace, the substantial glazed entrance door provides access to the exceptional fully glazed entrance hallway offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside, framed by a pair of wrought iron spiral staircases which provide access to the bedroom accommodation. The glazed entrance hall includes delightful reclaimed features such as a blue brick floor and provides access to the stunning formal living room. With dual aspect views across the front and back of The Cottage, the living room is set within the rebuilt portion of the house and offers a beamed ceiling as well as deep fireplace with feature herringbone brickwork and large Contura wood burner. There is full height panelling to two walls and windows looking out over both the front and rear gardens. On the opposite side of the entrance hallway are steps down to a further corridor which offers access to the guest WC and kitchen breakfast family room. Exquisitely designed and considered, the kitchen breakfast family room offers the ideal open plan space for modern day living, whilst incorporating quality period and reclaimed features. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of wall and floor cabinetry, as well as a central double island, set under a solid marble work surface. The hand painted kitchen was designed and fitted by Plan & Simple from Knutsford who have also incorporated a range of integrated appliances including a 70/30 fridge freezer, dishwasher, combi oven, wine fridge whilst the re-enamelled AGA offers an excellent focal point. The family area extends off the kitchen and opens to the rear sunken terrace via a set of bi fold doors, whilst the dining area is found off the opposite side of the kitchen and benefits from exceptional views via a large double doors and rear facing window. The ground floor of the property also has the benefit of underfloor heating throughout.
Both spiral staircases rise from the fully glazed entrance hall, one to the master suite and the other to the remaining bedrooms. The master suite is a truly exceptional semi-vaulted space which is filled with light via the sky lights and windows to both sides. There are a range of fitted wardrobes to one side, whilst the stunning en suite is found within the rear part of the space. Complete with roll top copper finished bath, the en suite is a spa like space which overlooks the stunning surrounding countryside. The second spiral staircase leads to a landing area which offers access to three further good sized bedrooms, and a large shower room with wet room style shower.
Outside
Surrounding The Cottage there are beautifully landscaped gardens which are bordered by a delightful stream, with the grounds home to a great array of mature trees and well established borders. There is a fantastic sunken terrace with timber sleeper retaining wall and a pergola swathed in pretty climbing roses the east of the house, which has direct access from the living kitchen breakfast family room via bi-fold doors offering indoor/outdoor living. The private position of the plot provides a multitude of seating and playing areas to be enjoyed throughout the day to the front and rear of the property.
There is a double garage and an oak framed car port off the gravel driveway, providing ample parking and useful storage.
