Property description
Victoria Cottage is a very pretty, semi-detached three bedroom cottage enjoying a rural outlook over open farmland and sitting in a plot of approximately 3.54 acres, complete with brick and tile barn and a run of timber stables.
Shebdon is a small hamlet in the parish of High Offley, between the large settlements of Newport an Eccleshall. The county town of Stafford is within easy reach with the mainline rail station providing regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester. The M6 motorway is a similarly short distance away making it an ideal location for commuters who want to enjoy the tranquillity of a peaceful rural spot. The Shropshire Union Canal passes through the hamlet and combined with a network of footpaths and bridleways, offers plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside.
The cottage has a lovely feel to it, entering from the good sized enclosed porch into the dining room with exposed brick inglenook fireplace. To the left of the dining room is a well-proportioned sitting room overlooking the front driveway, with double doors opening to the bright breakfast room to the rear. The breakfast room is open into the large, contemporary, cottage style kitchen, with a range of matching wall and base units with solid oak work surfaces and Belfast style sink. A useful pantry cupboard provides extra storage to one side, while double doors open out into the double glazed conservatory, offering views across the large garden.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms with the largest being the master over the front aspect with views over open farmland and to the Shropshire Union Canal. The three bedrooms are served by a smart bathroom with large shower enclosure, white corner bath, WC and wash hand basin.
Externally the property has a large rear garden with mature borders bounding a shaped lawn. A brick and tile barn, in partially renovated condition, has in the past been granted planning permission for a holiday let.
A driveway leads from the front of the property, past the barn and onto an area of hard standing, with a run of three timber stables. An area of flat paddock land beyond extends to approximately 2.96 acres making it a very suitable property for those with equestrian interests.Presented in wonderful condition throughout, the property is a testament to the taste of the current owners.
