Full description
Park Cottage is a delightful mid-18th century semi-detached property displaying many original features, including exposed oak beams, a working fireplace in the dining room and surprises behind each door. Its position is enchanting; with open countryside views to the front and approx. ¼ acre of land included in the sale price; the possibilities are endless. This deceptively spacious cottage has the best of both worlds; retaining the charm of the countryside with the comfort of modern day needs close by.
Commuters will enjoy living in the beautiful South Staffordshire village of Lapley, yet have the convenience of excellent motorway links, with the A5 facilitating fast access to the motorway network of M6, M6 Toll & M54. Lapley is within easy reach of the major commercial centres of Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Telford and local facilities are available within the nearby villages of both Brewood and Wheaton Aston. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation with the benefit of oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout.
Lounge: Accessed via the hall, this charming living room has two windows providing a good amount of light, yet still retains the cosy feel which is prevalent throughout. It is full of character, with exposed original beams and features a living flame oil burning stove, housed in a stone fireplace, making this a wonderful focal point and a perfect space for relaxing.
Dining Room: The views from this room cannot fail to impress your guests as you entertain in this elegant dining area. With exposed beams continuing the theme of this charming cottage and a working fireplace this is a lovely space to enjoy the company of friends.
Kitchen: This smart kitchen has the benefit of fully fitted cream units with contrasting wooden counter tops and cream ceramic wall tiles combining elegant simplicity with a touch of retro style. With a stainless steel oven and hob and integrated fridge freezer this kitchen has everything close to hand that the discerning chef requires.
The stairs to the first floor are hidden behind a door leading from the spacious entrance hall, which sets the tone for the rest of this character property. The landing area leads to both double bedrooms and offers stunning views across the picturesque south Staffordshire countryside. There is plenty of storage with a cupboard above the stairs.
Bedroom 1: The master bedroom is a large double bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes.
Bedroom 2: Another double room with a feature fireplace and storage.
Bathroom: A family bathroom located on the ground floor comprising a double walk in shower cubicle, pedestal basin and w/c. There is a utility area with built in cupboards for both storage and for housing the washer/dryer. The area is fully tiled for ease of maintenance and is complete with towel warmer and period radiator adding additional charm to the room.
Garden: A delightful courtyard adjacent to the cottage has been paved for low maintenance and allows the owners more spare time to relax and enjoy their home. A splash of colour is introduced by an array of potted plant plants.
Further along the lane, is approximately ¼ acre of land which is currently home to a vegetable patch providing the owners with a taste of “The Good Life”. However, with the appropriate planning consent, residential development is a possibility.
Garage: A good size with power and lighting and an inspection pit.
