A Character Cottage With Countryside Feel & City Links.
Tucked away within the desirable semi-rural surroundings of Clayton Road, this delightful and truly individual cottage property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home bursting with warmth, personality and charm, complemented beautifully by extensive mature gardens and private driveway parking.
Step inside via a character stained glass entrance door into a useful porch area, ideal for coats, shoes and everyday storage, before beginning your journey through this cozy and welcoming cottage home. The first reception room is a beautifully styled living room centred around a stunning solid wood feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Dual aspect windows to both the side and rear elevations allow natural light to pour into the room whilst also framing pleasant garden views.
Adjacent to the lounge is a further spacious and versatile reception room, currently arranged as a formal dining room. This flexible space could equally lend itself to a second sitting room, snug, home office or hobby room depending on individual requirements. The property flows naturally from the living accommodation through towards the kitchen area, whilst also benefiting from a useful understairs storage cupboard positioned between the lounge and kitchen.
The kitchen itself is fitted in keeping with the overall cottage aesthetic and enjoys a bright and welcoming feel, complete with ample fitted units, generous work surface space and a traditional range style cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a separate utility area together with an additional pantry/store room providing excellent practical storage solutions.
A charming cottage staircase rises from the kitchen area to the first floor accommodation where two well proportioned double bedrooms continue the character theme beautifully adding warmth and individuality to the rooms. The accommodation is completed by a stunning cottage style family bathroom fitted with a magnificent roll top bath, separate walk-in shower enclosure, wash basin and WC, all thoughtfully styled to complement the age and character of the property. Access to the loft space is also available from the bathroom via roof hatch.
Externally the property truly comes into its own. The extensive mature gardens create a magical outdoor environment filled with established trees, shaped shrubs, colourful planting beds, winding lawn sections and multiple seating areas perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A side patio and courtyard area sits adjacent to the property together with useful brick built storage and wood store facilities. To the front, a private tarmac driveway provides off road parking for approximately two to three vehicles.
The property enjoys an excellent position within the popular Clayton area, offering a wonderful balance between countryside feel and everyday convenience. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre, local shops, schools, commuter routes and nearby countryside walks are all easily accessible, whilst excellent transport connections including the A500, M6 motorway network and Royal Stoke Hospital make this an ideal location for professionals, couples and downsizers alike.
