Description

This detached countryside cottage, known as Laundry Cottage, offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Situated in the desirable rural village of Dunston, this property is not only charming but also deceptively spacious. The ground floor features a traditional-style open plan kitchen-diner with an adjoining sitting area highlighted by exposed brick walls and ceiling beams, presenting a perfect canvas for modern updates while maintaining its character. Additional spaces include a utility room, guest WC, and a generous lounge with access to a bright orangery that overlooks the landscaped garden. The first floor consists of three bedrooms including one with potential for conversion into an ensuite or wet room, alongside a beautifully designed family bathroom featuring both a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside, the property boasts an attractive rear garden ideal for entertainment, as well as a detached garage that holds significant conversion potential—whether it be transformed into an annex, studio, or home office (subject to planning permission). With excellent commuter links to Stafford, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham via the M6 motorway just minutes away, this property balances rural tranquillity with modern convenience. A thorough viewing is encouraged to fully appreciate the investment possibilities and original features that could be revitalised through thoughtful renovations.
