Property description
\"Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread through, shadows to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight.\" Tolkien may well have had this enchanting home in mind when his fantastic imagination conjured up these thought provoking words....... A spectacular cottage set beautifully in the highly sought after area of Oulton Heath in Stone. The home dates back to 1650 and has been a functioning family pad ever since, the current owners have lovingly and tastefully renovated the property throughout with luxurious touches and stylish twists at every turn! The ground floor offers a bespoke country kitchen with oak surfaces and large pantry, a formal dining room awaits the enjoyment of delicious meals and great conversation and a relaxing and opulent living room leads effortlessly out to the gardens. A splendid family bathroom is beautifully fitted with a sumptuous roll top bath and a stone shower enclosure. The first floor is equally as impressive with a lavish master bedroom and alfresco seating area with spectacular views of the neighbouring countryside. Two further bedrooms are both of excellent sizes and enjoy leafy aspects. The cottage is decorated beautifully throughout and bursts with heritage colours that both welcome and relax. The grounds are simply captivating with well stocked flower borders, secret pathways, decked seating areas, a sleeper built sun bench, two courtyards and handy storage shed. A brick built 'Hobbit House' is the ideal place in which to develop your own brand of gin or wine, a wash house with laundry facilities is a welcome addition and a pretty summer house at the bottom of the grounds is ideal for enjoying the evening sun. If you are searching for a unique home in an idyllic setting with splendid views, you've discovered perfection. Viewing is by appointment only and early reservation is recommended.
