Property description
A wonderful four bedroom family home in a popular semi-rural location, within easy reach of the Potteries and the wider transport network but a stone’s throw from very pretty, rolling countryside that the area is famed for.
The semi-detached Victorian townhouse has been tastefully extended, mixing the traditional high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and character of the original building with a more modern, light and airy, open planned kitchen and entertaining space to the rear overlooking the large rear garden.
The result is a spacious family home with more formal reception rooms to the front and the contemporary family space at the rear. The property has a large cobbled driveway leading to an integral single garage. An enclosed porch opens into a large sitting room at the centre of the property with a door of to the left into a more formal sitting or drawing room. To the right of the sitting room is a compact office overlooking the driveway to the front.
The main sitting room is a large space with a turned staircase rising to the first floor. There is a log burning stove in exposed brick surround adding a focal point to the room. A single door on the left of the fireplace leads to a dining room which is currently used as a television room. Double doors to the right of the fireplace open into the extended part of the property, a large open plan conservatory and open planned kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen has a range of matching wall and base units with a great amount of work preparation surfaces and a breakfast bar. The room offers great views over the garden, the south east aspect making the most of the available daylight.
Beyond the kitchen is a separate pantry, a good sized utility room, WC and cloakroom, once part of the original outbuildings.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, the larger master bedroom having a smartly fitted en-suite shower room, the remaining three bedrooms being served by a principal bathroom.
The enclosed rear garden is a generous size with a large shaped lawn and well stocked borders surrounding. The garden looks onto open farmland to the rear, providing attractive views and adding to the feeling of space.
A Heritage railway, Foxfield Light Railway operate north of Blythe Bridge, a popular destination for a family day out. The area is surrounded by the open countryside of the Staffordshire Moorlands, renowned for its gently rolling topography.
