Property description
Situated in Slindon, a few minutes from Eccleshall, Primrose Cottage enjoys a rural outlook with wonderful views over open farmland to both front and rear. Slindon is situated between Eccleshall and Newcastle under Lyme to the north, providing easy access to the M6 motorway at junctions 14 and 15 and to mainline railway stations in nearby Stafford or Stoke, both offering regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
Once a two up, two down, the cottage has been the subject of a thorough scheme of renovation and extensions, adding living space on the ground floor and a master bedroom to the first floor along with a balcony from which to sip a morning coffee while taking in the views.
There are two reception rooms of a similar size to the front of the property, one in use as a study, the other a comfortable family snug. It's to the rear where the benefit of the extension can really be seen. The large kitchen and dining room at the centre are flanked by two large rooms, one a smart conservatory/ day room with tiled roof and log burning stove, the other a garden room and utility, again with a tiled roof and large windows overlooking the garden. There is also a good deal of storage space, having a good sized boot room complete with sauna.
On the first floor, two similarly sized bedrooms echo the ground floor plan to the front with a larger master bedroom to the rear. A fourth room is accessed from the second bedroom but the layout of the first floor is such that it could be turned into a separate bedroom, accessed from the landing if required. The bedrooms are served by a recently refitted bathroom with a large walk in double shower enclosure.
There is a good deal of parking space in a block-paved courtyard along with a double garage and workshop and covered parking for at least two more vehicles. Mature, landscaped gardens surround the other two sides with a mix of well stocked borders and shaped lawns. The large garden also has a wooden summer house and several terraced areas adjacent to the cottage providing entertaining spaces with double doors opening out from the dining room and conservatory along with a door from the garden room.
There is a further area of 4.5 acres of flat paddock, accessed both from the garden and separately from the lane with a five bar gate for vehicular access.
