Believed to originally date back to 1824 (approximately), consideration of this delightful family home is strongly advised to appreciate its generously sized, well-appointed accommodation - including three reception rooms alongside a spacious dining kitchen and conservatory overlooking the gardens -, as well as the delightful gardens which have several seating areas positioned to take advantage of the sun throughout the day, plus a fabulous entertaining area with summerhouse and bar enjoying a good degree of privacy.
Ivy Cottage is situated between the popular villages of Marchington and Draycott-in-the-Clay where a range of amenities include convenience stores, public houses and first schools. The surrounding towns and cities are all within easy commutable distance including Uttoxeter, Ashbourne, Burton-on-Trent, Derby and Lichfield. The nearby road networks include the A50 dual carriageway which links the M1 and M6 motorways plus the A38 dual carriageway and M42.
Accommodation: An enclosed traditional tiled porch leads to the welcoming hall where stairs rise to the first floor and doors lead to the spacious ground floor accommodation including the cloakroom area and guest WC.
The delightful sitting room has a feature beamed ceiling and a focal wall mounted fire, whilst the well-proportioned fitted kitchen has an extensive range of base and eye level units with work surfaces and inset sink unit set below the window looking into the conservatory and garden beyond. There is space for a range stove with extractor over, integrated dishwasher and ample space for a dining table at the heart of the kitchen. From here a door leads to the useful utility room with further storage and work surfaces areas, space for appliances and a freestanding combination oil-fired central heating boiler.
The formal dining room enjoys a good amount of natural light from the wide walk-in bay window overlooking the garden and a 'nosy parker' bay to the side. The third reception room is a spacious lounge which also enjoys an abundance of natural light from the triple aspect windows including a wide walk-in bay to the front. At the focal point of the lounge is a cast log burner set on a slabbed hearth.
Completing the ground floor is the good-sized conservatory which overlooks the delightful gardens with feature tiled flooring and doors opening to two elevations.
On the first floor the pleasant landing provides space for a small study or reading nook and has doors leading off to the four good sized bedrooms, each able to accommodate a double bed and all enjoying an outlook over the surrounding fields and countryside.
All of the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which has a white four-piece suite incorporating a corner bath alongside a separate shower cubicle. The main bedroom has triple aspect windows providing an abundance of natural light and fitted wardrobes alongside an en-suite which has a white three-piece suite including a double shower cubicle.
Outside to the rear is a paved patio with dwarf wall leading to the formal gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked beds and borders containing a large variety of shrubs, plants and trees. Additionally, there is a small pond, timber decking and a summerhouse providing a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the views over the lawn and paddocks. The garden also features a timber constructed bar and an area for a hot tub which is ideal for entertaining.
The garden wraps around the side elevation where there is a further paved seating area enjoying views over the paddock with a good degree of privacy. To the front is a garden laid to lawn with established beds and borders.
On the opposite side there is vehicular access (which the neighbouring property has access over) that leads to a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking, in turn leading to the garage (approx. 6.74m x 5.12m), with power supply.
From this driveway a galvanised five bar gate leads to the adjoining paddocks that extend to approx. 1.79 acre, having a water trough and further gate leading back into the garden.
