Nestled in the picturesque area of Dunstall, this semi-detached cottage exudes character and presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the property is conveniently located just a short drive from the village of Barton under Needwood, which boasts a variety of shops and local amenities. It also offers easy access to larger towns such as Lichfield, Burton-on-Trent, Uttoxeter, Birmingham, and Derby.
Set on an unadopted lane, the property features an established front garden with well-maintained lawns and hedging. A long gravel driveway leads to a detached single garage, providing ample off-road parking—a valuable asset in this area.
Entering through a charming canopy porch, you’re welcomed into a hallway that leads to a spacious dining/sitting room. This room is enhanced by wood flooring and an inglenook style fireplace with a stove set within exposed brickwork. With windows that offer lovely views of the front garden and beamed ceilings throughout the ground floor, there is considerable potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning permissions) according to your vision.
The kitchen serves as the heart of the home and carries a charming bespoke feel with its base units and tiled flooring. French doors open out to revealing views across the rear garden toward the enchanting countryside beyond. The ground floor also includes a bathroom featuring classic roll-top bath aesthetics alongside a separate utility/boot room that provides additional space for appliances.
Upstairs, two generously-sized bedrooms await—both offering pleasant views; one overlooks the rolling hills at the rear while the other captures dual aspects for abundant natural light.
The expansive rear garden stands out as one of the property’s most appealing features. With well-kept lawns, established borders, and a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining, it offers considerable outdoor space for leisure or gardening pursuits. Additionally, a summer house at the end of the garden provides an inviting spot to appreciate both privacy and scenic vistas.
This property’s renovation potential makes it an attractive investment opportunity in an idyllic setting. With no mains drainage or gas supply—utilizing oil for heating and benefiting from a shared septic system—it presents unique considerations for prospective buyers looking to enhance its charm while investing in an area known for its rural beauty and community spirit.
