4 bedroom house

Enjoying a rural setting overlooking rolling countryside views is Sale Cottage, and individual country residence benefiting from impressive and versatile accommodation, four double bedrooms and a extensive south facing plot including a paddock and woodland. Showcasing retained character from the original 1800s cottage, this beautifully presented country home has been well maintained throughout its time with the current vendors, having recently had a new pump system for the heated pool, replacement of the oil tank and a new Klargester fitted in 2020. The original cottage has been remodelled and extended over time to convert an original barn and hayloft into further living accommodation, and there is potential to create ancillary accommodation if required. Sale Cottage is serviced by full double glazing and oil fired central heating.

The interiors comprise briefly entrance hall, open plan breakfast kitchen, Orangery style family living and dining room, four further reception rooms including a stunning drawing room with vaulted ceilings, utility room and ground floor shower room. Off the main landing are three double bedrooms serviced by fitted wardrobes, a master en suite and family bathroom, with a further guest bedroom off a separate staircase having facilities to install an en suite. A mezzanine sitting room next to this bedroom is ideal for use as an occasional bedroom or further reception room, or alternatively should an en suite be fitted this part of the house would be ideal as a guest suite or ancillary accommodation. Outside, an in and out driveway provides ample parking to the front as well as access onto the paddock land, and Sale Cottage sits well with stunning south facing gardens which include a heated pool and mature area of fir trees.

Sale Cottage is set on a peaceful lane just outside the popular Staffordshire villages of Fradley and Alrewas, within walking distance of the local beauty spot of Fradley Junction and the nearby Trent & Mersey canal network. Just a few minutes’ drive away is the character village of Alrewas where amenities can be found including a popular Butchers’, pubs, take away outlets, a doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, dentists and more. There are a superb range of coveted independent schools also nearby including Smallwood Manor, Repton and Lichfield Cathedral, and many of the local Primary and Secondary schools benefit from Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ ratings. Sale Cottage is well placed for access to the commuter routes A38, A50 and M6 and rail stations at Burton on Trent and Lichfield Cathedral City provide regular rail links access to Birmingham, Derby and London (in 80 minutes). The International airports of Birmingham, East Midlands and Manchester are all within an east drive.
