Description

A two bedroom DETACHED COTTAGE in an idyllic semi-rural location with COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, also benefitting from a DETACHED GARAGE!

A characterful and charming detached cottage which is ideal for those looking to move closer to the countryside, occupying a prime position close to a number of walks within the surrounding fields and countryside.

An entrance porch leads to the conservatory/dining room and the lounge, which in turn opens into a kitchen with a Range-style cooker and breakfast bar. To the rear of the property is a useful utility room, with the ground floor completed by the bathroom. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from views to the front overlooking greenery, whilst the second bedroom to the rear overlooks surrounding fields.

Off-road parking is provided via a brick-paved driveway and a well-proportioned detached garage, which includes power and lighting. To the rear of the property is a courtyard garden which offers a great deal of privacy and creates a peaceful space to sit out and relax!

Alderhay Lane is a convenient location close to countryside, but retaining easy access to transport links such as the M6, A500 and A34. The wealth of amenities within Kidsgrove are only a short distance away, whilst several schools such as Thursfield Primary School and Castle Primary School are also nearby.
