Double gates open to a gravelled driveway which leads to a traditional canopy porch entrance opening into a spacious sitting and dining area of considerable character with exposed bricks and timber, together with a brick inglenook fireplace. The adjacent dining area is generously sized with exposed brickwork and beams and can accommodate a family dining table. Double doors lead to the kitchen. Off the dining room is a separate study offering dual aspect views over the gardens and the added benefit of fibre broadband.
The inner hallway has stairs rising to the first-floor gallery landing, and a cloakroom off which comprises WC and a wash basin. Passing through the inner hallway, you enter the 27' lounge which features a rustic brick fireplace which houses the multi-fuel cast stove. This space is light and airy - courtesy of the many windows which offer fantastic views of the surrounding gardens and countryside.
From the lounge, double doors open to the superb multi-windowed dining kitchen with gorgeous views and a feature vaulted ceiling, incorporating Velux rooflights. The kitchen area is stunning, having been fitted with a bespoke range of units complete with granite worksurfaces over, and an inset one and a half bowl sink and drainer. There are integrated appliances comprising NEFF induction hob with stainless steel and glass extractor canopy over, NEFF microwave and double oven, dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge-freezer (please note that this is not included). Another appealing feature of this outstanding kitchen is the splendid contrasting island unit, having a built-in crockery drawer and vegetable baskets. The generously sized oak surface over allows this to be used as a dining space. Furthermore, there is a separate tall cupboard as well as pan and utensil drawers. A built-in wine rack is housed over the fridge-freezer. Double doors and a separate stable door lead from the kitchen to the patio eating and entertaining areas. Ceramic tiled flooring runs throughout, complimented by downlighting and a modern vertical radiator.
The adjoining utility room is fitted with a good range of cupboards and shelves together with a sink and drainer, plus space and provision for domestic appliances. The boiler is located in this room.
One of the many outstanding features of this property is the first-floor gallery landing, off which are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Large Velux and side windows bring light to this area.
From the galleried landing the principal bedroom is accessed through a dressing area complete with bespoke fitted wardrobes with door-operated interior lights. This bedroom is front-facing, overlooking the main driveway and leads through into a luxuriously appointed en-suite with underfloor heating, exquisite contrasting wall and floor tiling, a large walk-in shower enclosure with both waterfall and conventional heads, plus pedestal wash basin, low flush WC, and chrome radiator. Separately, the family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising bath with shower above, pedestal wash basin, low flush WC, attractive tiling, and Velux rooflight.
Outside, the house occupies a stunning plot standing well back from the road beyond a gated entrance which leads to a spacious driveway capable of parking numerous vehicles. The detached double garage has two double doors, two side windows, power, lighting, and stairs to a partially boarded loft space above, complete with two Velux rooflights. Considerably benefitting the property are the outrightly owned solar panels which are discreetly situated on the far side of the garage roof and we understand that these produce an income of approximately £2,000 per annum.
The extensive fore-gardens enjoy mature edges which also extend to the side of the property. A path leads both ways around the front of the house, with one side having a wrought-iron gated entrance leading to an excellent and extensive entertaining area with slate flooring, raised beds and plenty of space for outdoor furniture.
External power sockets are installed here and there is exterior lighting.
Behind the house is the slightly raised dining/barbeque area which again has flower beds with retaining walls and Yorkstone style slabs. Both outdoor entertaining areas have convenient access to the dining kitchen and offer lovely, far-reaching views of the garden and neighbouring farmland.
Separately, there is a log store and oil tank which are discreetly screened by trellis with climber over.
To the rear of the property is a generously sized brick-built building with decking and large windows, currently utilised as a gym but which could easily be repurposed as a home office, studio, treatment room, etc if required. Next to this is a flat space for a trampoline or large paddling pool and nearby is a feature deck which extends partly over the adjoining stream. The lawned area is home to a variety of ornamental shrubs and fruit trees, leading through an archway to the productive garden with lawn, raised beds, a large shed and a greenhouse, together with a variety of fruit bushes.
The property, whilst occupying a truly delightful plot and position, is also exceptionally convenient for commuting and modern-day life, having the county town of Stafford to the west, and the popular market town of Uttoxeter to the east. Main arterial roads - the A51 and A518 - offer convenient access to both junctions 13 and 14 of the M6 at Stafford, as well as the A50 and M1 beyond Uttoxeter. Excellent train services are offered to London Euston, accessed from Stafford's intercity station, plus Rugeley Trent Valley. The nearby village of Hixon has a junior School, shops, country pub, fish & chip shop, post office, and a takeaway.
Directions: from Stafford take the A518 east passing through Weston, turning left onto the A51 and then immediately right onto the A518 towards Uttoxeter. Proceed through Amerton and past the first right turning signposted Stowe-by-Chartley. Turn left up the private lane opposite the 2nd right hand turn to Hixon and Stowe-by-Chartley. Proceed to the top of the drive (do not turn off to the left) and the property is located in front of you.
Agents Notes: There is no mains gas or mains drainage. There is oil-fired central heating to the property. A new boiler was fitted in November 2021. Drainage is via a septic tank. A new private drainage system was installed November 2021. Broadband to the property is fibre. The house benefits from an integral security system. The private drive is owned by The Old Mill Cottage - the neighbours do have the right to use the initial section of driveway. There are solar panels situated on the garage roof which generate an income of approximately £2000 per annum.
Statement from our clients: Flood zone 3 - The house was designated as being in a flood zone based purely on its distance to water following major flooding in the UK some years ago when the Environment Agency designated everything within a certain distance to water as a flood zone. It was not based on the flooding history or likelihood of each individual property flooding, and when challenged the Environment Agency said that they did not have the resources to differentiate between different properties or look at individual histories. The house has never flooded in the 17 years the present owners have lived there, and they haven't had any problem getting insurance.
Tenure: Freehold (purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the tenure via their legal representative).
Services: Mains water and electricity are believed to be connected to the property but purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to their suitability.
