Property description

Well Cottage enjoys a quiet spot in the small village of Yarnfield, a short distance from the market town of Stone and within easy reach of the country town of Stafford with a mainline railway station providing regular intercity services to London and Manchester.

The property is a three bedroom semi-detached cottage, set in a small courtyard development of just four properties. At one time, the cottage served as a farm shop to the larger house at the front, but has now been tastefully converted into comfortable accommodation, retaining many of the features that give it so much character.

A good sized hallway has a turned staircase to the first floor, the kitchen to the left and sitting room to the rear. The kitchen has an attractive range of handmade solid wood wall and base units, one and a half sink and drainer overlooking the courtyard to the side. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and electric oven with four ring mains gas hob. The floor is tiled with the same ceramic tiles as the hallway, unifying the two rooms.

The sitting room is a lovely space with windows to the side and rear affording plenty of light. South facing windows to the rear are accompanied by double doors to the garden, taking in a good view of the well that provides the cottage with its namesake. An exposed brick fireplace houses an attractive multi-fuel log burning stove adding a warm focal point to the room and engineered wood flooring adds a quality finish to the room.

The first floor landing gives access to a shower room and WC, and onto the master bedroom with it's en-suite bathroom. The bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and a decorative cast iron fireplace. The second bedroom is currently being used as a home office with the south facing windows allowing plenty of light into the room. A staircase to one side leads to the second floor where the space has cleverly been converted to create a light bedroom with a similarly sized dressing room with wash hand basin and WC.

The courtyard has a gravelled parking area and a single garage with a large hayloft style store over and two parking spaces in front, while double gates to the side of the property lead to an additional parking area, covered by a pergola and onto the rear garden. A summer house, attached to the garage, has power and lighting and could easily be used as a home office or summer dining area, enjoying views over the cottage style garden.

The property is on mains gas, mains drainage and has a water meter installed.

Directions. From Stone, take the A34 towards Stoke on Trent. Turn left into Yarnfield Lane and follow for approximately 2 miles. Ash Lane is the last turning on your left just before you leave the village of Yarnfield. The property is 25 meters on the left, accessed through a private courtyard.
