Situated in this well regarded and sought after village, within easy reach of its amenities which include the convenience shop, first school, public houses and restaurants, excellent health centre, village hall and playing field, hair salon and church. Several beautiful walks are on the doorstep through beautiful surrounding countryside, including the Churnet Valley towards Oakamoor and Dimmingsdale. The towns of Uttoxeter, Ashbourne and Cheadle are all within easy commutable distance.
Viewing is essential to appreciate this property's unique location and modernisation potential. For sale with no upward chain, this bright and airy four-bedroomed, family sized home has enormous scope for personalisation and remodelling, including the opportunity to open up the dining room and kitchen across the rear of the property. With its far-reaching views of stunning open countryside, its elevation position and large private driveway, this property offers more than equivalent sized properties; its location and potential cannot be overstated.
Accommodation – A composite, part obscure double glazed entrance door and side lights, open to the welcoming hall where stairs rise to the first floor. Doors lead to the ground floor accommodation and the fitted downstairs WC which has a white two piece suite.
The well-proportioned lounge has a coal effect gas fire with feature surround, a laminated wooden floor and a wide window to the front, providing ample natural light. A door opens to the separate dining room which has the same wooden laminate floor as the lounge. This dining room is bright and airy with the natural light from the UPVC double-glazed French doors and side panels. The French doors open on to the patio and garden.
The fitted breakfast kitchen has a range of base and eye level units with worksurfaces. The inset sink unit is set below the wide window overlooking the garden, a fitted electric hob with extractor over and a built in electric oven plus space for further appliances and a useful understairs cupboard. A uPVC double glazed door opens to the garden and internal doors lead back to the hall and to the utility room which has a range of cupboards and worktops, space for appliances and the wall mounted combination central heating boiler. The kitchen/ dining room has huge creative scope; these bright rooms offer the potential to be the heart of family life.
To the first floor the landing has a built-in airing cupboard and doors opening to the four bedrooms. The front facing master bedroom enjoys far reaching views of the open countryside and has the benefit of a fitted ensuite shower room.
Bedroom two is a spacious, bright double room with fitted wardrobes to one side.
Bedrooms three and four are bright and airy rooms offering versatility for family life.
Completing the accommodation is the large, fitted family bathroom, also having a white suite with tiled splash backs and half tiled walls.
Outside - To the rear, the sunny, southerly facing garden has a paved patio, leading to the lawn which has well stocked borders containing a variety of shrubs and plants, as well as an apple and plum tree. There is a further elevated paved and secluded seating area. This garden has a private and peaceful character. Gated access leads to the side where there are further well stocked beds and a large vegetable patch. To the front is a garden laid to lawn with borders. A private, long tarmac driveway provides ample off-road parking, widening to the front of the home and leading to the additional parking space and the detached double garage that has an electric up and over door, power points and a pedestrian door.
Alton residents receive 20 free annual entry tickets to the renowned Alton Towers Theme Park, a delightful perk enhancing the charm of village life (*this offer can be withdrawn at any time).
