Property description

Chebsey lies in the gently rolling countryside some 5 miles North West from Stafford. It is a small, peaceful village, the charm of which is largely derived from its isolated position among the winding lanes, remote from any main roads and the dispersed, open layout of its buildings, between which the surrounding hills can constantly be glimpsed. Open countryside penetrates into Chebsey from all directions and is perhaps the most noteworthy feature of its character. (SSC Conservation area document).

Despite its lovely rural location Chebsey, surprisingly, is only a few minutes from excellent urban amenities in Eccleshall, Stone and Stafford and both mainline railway and motorway links.

Fairbanks Cottage occupies an elevated position in beautiful gardens right in the middle of the village overlooking the conservation area. It was originally built in 1890 and was tastefully extended and modernised 15 years ago by the present owners.

The living accommodation is remarkably spacious. The canopy porch forms and integral part of the building and leads into the entrance hall with staircase and guest’s cloakroom. The sitting room has an open fireplace, a large bay looking onto the garden on the west side and glazed double doors leading into the conservatory which in turn leads into the garden. The dining room has a south facing bay with double doors opening out into the garden with a rose covered gazebo.

The well fitted kitchen and breakfast area features a Rayburn cooker and sliding glazed doors opening onto a secluded paved patio which catches the morning sun. The patio also gives access to the boiler/ utility room.

On the first floor there is a landing with airing cupboard, three good bedrooms and two bathrooms one of which is en-suite. The windows in the main bedroom again look over the conservation area.

All the windows are double glazed and thermostatically controlled oil fired central heating is installed.

The gardens are a special feature of Fairbanks Cottage. They were professionally designed and cleverly combine seclusion with open aspects to provide a tranquil setting with lots of places to sit and enjoy the delights of this charming country property and this picturesque village.

Fairbanks Cottage is ready for immediate occupation and there is no upward chain.
