Property description

Stone Cottage is a charming detached sandstone cottage in the picturesque village of Sutton, situated between Eccleshall and Newport. The cottage in part, is believed to date back to the seventeenth century with a later extension adding a good sized sitting room with recently added log burning stove.

The cottage theme again is immediately apparent as soon as you enter the recently refitted kitchen with its attractive log burning stove in an inglenook surround. The well-appointed kitchen has ample work surfaces along with room for a good sized kitchen table and chairs.

The principal bathroom is on the ground floor, a well-proportioned room with a cupboard housing the oil fired central heating boiler.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the master being the larger of the two benefitting from an en-suite shower room with WC.

Externally there is a good sized driveway leading to a double garage/ workshop and a good sized cottage style garden to the rear enjoying a southerly facing aspect. The cottage is within easy walking distance of the Red Lion Inn and is well placed for travel to Newport, Eccleshall and Stafford, the latter having a mainline railway station with regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester. Both the M6 and M54 motorways are a short distance away for traveling further afield.

The cottage enjoys a great deal of privacy, not being overlooked by neighbouring properties.
