Description

This charming cottage, believed to date back around 200 years, has undergone significant extensions over the years, making it a unique blend of period features and modern potential. Nestled within approximately 0.75 acres of land, the property boasts several outbuildings equipped with electric lighting, power, and water connections, offering opportunities for various uses including additional living space or business ventures (subject to planning permissions). Located between Wheaton Aston and Church Eaton with convenient access to major transport routes like the A5 leading to the M6 and M54, this property is ideally situated near local amenities, schools, and market towns such as Stafford and Newport. The interior features well-proportioned rooms filled with character. The ground floor showcases a welcoming hall that leads into a lounge with a cozy open fire, a dining room connected to a spacious sitting area with patio doors opening to the garden. The breakfast kitchen is functional yet ripe for modernisation, providing ample dining space alongside practical utilities including a laundry area and guest cloakroom. Upstairs houses four double bedrooms with varying features like fitted wardrobes and en-suite facilities in the principal suite. There’s further potential in converting existing spaces or updating bathrooms for increased comfort. Outside, you’ll find extensive gardens encasing the property along with a driveway leading to a double garage. The large terrace offers outdoor entertainment options while further gardens can be explored beyond the outbuildings. With an already established business history of successful dog kennels on-site and adequate off-road parking available, this property not only serves as a family home but also as an investment worth considering for those looking to enhance its value through thoughtful renovations.
