Description
Step through the front door and you’re instantly greeted by the staircase ahead, while stylish glass-panelled oak doors invite you into the heart of the home. The dining room is a wonderfully welcoming space, complete with soft carpeting underfoot and a large front window that lets the light pour in. It’s the ideal setting for everything from Sunday roasts to midweek takeaways that pretend to be fancy. Further glass-panelled oak doors guide you through to the rest of the home, keeping the flow open yet defined. Slip past the handy understairs storage and you’ll find yourself in the living room, a cosy retreat with carpeting underfoot and a feature log burner that’s just waiting for crackling winter evenings. Dual-aspect windows and a door leading straight to the garden ensure the space feels bright, airy and effortlessly connected to the outdoors. Next stop is the kitchen, with an array of light blue cabinetry, complementary quartz worktops and integrated appliances, it strikes the perfect balance between pretty and practical. From here, you’ll also find access to a ground floor cloakroom and a connecting sunroom/utility. The sunroom is exactly what it sounds like, a sunshine magnet. With tiled flooring underfoot and direct garden access via a side door, it’s a brilliant multi-purpose space, whether you’re tackling laundry or simply soaking up a bit of extra daylight.
Head upstairs to discover two generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all accessed from a landing that also offers additional built-in storage. The principal bedroom sits peacefully at the rear of the home, offering dual-aspect windows, plush carpeting and ample space for a large double bed, your own cosy sanctuary at the end of the day. The second bedroom is equally spacious, with a front-facing window and a built-in storage room that comes with its own window and loft access. Whether you transform it into a walk-in wardrobe, reading nook or secret hideaway, the possibilities are delightfully endless. The family bathroom is generously sized and beautifully finished, featuring a full bathtub, walk-in shower, stainless steel towel radiator, WC, illuminated mirror and vanity unit. Grey wood-effect flooring and matching tiling tie everything together for a sleek, contemporary feel.
Step outside and you’ll find a charming garden that’s ready to bloom into whatever you imagine. With patio areas for multiple seating spots, an abundance of lawn, and a variety of plants, trees and shrubs, it’s a space that invites creativity and maybe a few compliments from the neighbours. At the end of the garden, a gravel area provides practical bin storage, a shed, and three vegetable beds, perfect for those who fancy themselves as a bit of a green-thumb-in-training. You’ll also find access to the garage via a rear door from the garden, along with gates that open out to the front driveway. Speaking of which… To the front, a gravel driveway and garage provide seamless off-road parking, because even cottages appreciate a touch of convenience.
Situated on Chapel Lane in Hookgate, on the outskirts of Loggerheads, this home enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining close to excellent local amenities and a primary school. With Market Drayton, Eccleshall and Newcastle-under-Lyme just a short drive away, you’re never far from what you need.
166 Chapel Lane is a cottage that combines charm, comfort and just the right amount of characterful quirk. It’s cosy without feeling cramped, practical without losing personality, and ready for its next chapter. And trust us… this is one story you’ll want to move into.
