Property description

The Outlands is a beautiful character cottage, nestling in one of the prettiest spots in Staffordshire. The property has been extensively improved and extended without losing any of it's charm. With spacious ground floor accommodation and four double bedrooms, it has the potential to be a perfect family home.

The cottage has a canopy porch leading into the entrance hallway, with exposed sandstone and brickwork which look simply stunning, setting the tone for the rest of the property. Turning to the left takes you into the working end of the cottage, through the dining room and on into the kitchen. Beyond the kitchen can be found a large breakfast room, again with bags of charm afforded by the exposed brickwork and beams in the vaulted ceiling. Clever use of the space has meant a guest cloakroom and boiler room have been accommodated without being intrusive.

The kitchen is functional and well designed and while not overly large, fits in perfectly with the proportions of the cottage. Fitted with a range of solid woods units with plentiful work preparation surfaces, encompassing a large Rangemaster double electric oven and hobs.

Moving back towards the centre of the property, the dining room is a cosy and warm space thanks in part to the multi fuel log burning stove in a traditional fireplace. There is plenty of space for a large table and chairs, making it a wonderful room for entertaining.

To the right of the entrance hall can be found a study room with views over the magnificent rear garden and the large sitting room has double doors leading out onto a paved area, perfect for enjoying more of the fabulous views.

Stairs lead to the first floor accommodation. Turning right along the L shaped landing leads you to the fourth bedroom and the extremely smart family bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms are found on the other wing, the master enjoying a very stylish en suite shower room and roof top terrace on which to enjoy the setting sun or to read the newspaper while sipping a good cup of coffee.

The rear garden is the result of many year's hard work and a testament to the vision of the current owners who have transformed it from a patch of ground to a wonderful, mature garden with a lawned area, terracing and seating areas over many levels, each of which boasts a different view of the cottage and beyond. It would be almost impossible to become bored of the views, especially as they change with the passing of each season.

Although enjoying a peaceful location, Bishops Offley is a short distance from the thriving village of Eccleshall and within easy reach of the motorway network and mainline stations of Stafford and Stoke on Trent. The surrounding countryside offers the opportunity for long walks by way of the many footpaths and bridleways that criss cross the area.
