Property description

Fern Cottage is a charming four bedroom character property in one of the prettiest villages on the outskirts of Eccleshall. Croxton is surrounded by rolling countryside and wonderful views, of which Fern Cottage is able to enjoy thanks to its elevated position to the rear.

Croxton is approximately three miles from the larger village of Eccleshall and within easy reach of the M6 motorways at junction 14 to the south and 15 to the north. Mainline railway stations are to be found in Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford, both a short distance away. Pre and First Schooling can be found in either Loggerheads or Eccleshall.

The cottage itself sits back off the road and is shielded by a high evergreen hedge and several mature specimen trees. A large grave driveway to the side provides parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the double garage.

An enclosed entrance porch gives access to the internal hallway with a guest cloak room off and turned staircase rising to the first floor to a galleried landing. Turning left from the hallway brings you into a generously sized kitchen with single glazed leaded light windows to both the front and rear.

A sliding door opens from the kitchen into another reception room, ideally used as a dining room, linking back to the hallway. The hallway leads to a large sitting room, with windows to three sides, larger sliding patio doors opening out to the rear garden. The room is large enough for a suite of furniture along with a large dining table and chairs.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one of which has been pressed into service as a shower room, easily removed to reinstate as a bedroom if desired. The bedrooms are served by a principal bathroom, currently fitted with a sit down bath and matching suite.

To the rear of the cottage is a large garden plot, bounded by mature hedging and wonderful views to the rear over open farmland. There is a mix of lawned areas, flower beds and a paved area with a wooden summer house. The double garage has a roller door, revealing a good sized garage/ workshop with inspection pit and separate WC.

The property could benefit from some cosmetic updating to the buyers’ taste but offers the opportunity to create a wonderful family home in a popular rural location.
