Originally built in 1711 but extended in 2021, internal inspection and consideration of this attractive home is essential to appreciate the well planned and deceptively spacious layout including a semi open plan living dining kitchen, and the thought put into the home by the current owners to combine the original charm with contemporary features.
Situated back from Tythe Barn in the highly regarded and desirable village of Alton within walking distance to its amenities including the first school, convenience shop, public houses and restaurants, health centre, active village hall and playing field, church and hair salon. Several walks through surrounding countryside are also available through the Churnet Valley towards Oakamoor and Dimmingsdale. The towns of Uttoxeter, Ashbourne and Cheadle are all within easy commutable distance as are the world headquarters of JCB.
Accommodation - A uPVC part obscure double glazed entrance door opens to the welcoming hall where stairs rise to the first floor with a useful under stairs cupboard, and doors lead to the spacious ground floor accommodation.
To the rear of the cottage is the hub of the home - the semi open plan living dining kitchen having two sets of wide French doors opening to the garden. The kitchen has an extensive range of base and eye level units plus an island with quality worktops and an inset sink unit, fitted induction hob with an extractor hood over, built in double electric oven and an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer.
The dual aspect lounge has a focal chimney breast with a cast log burner set on a quarry tiled hearth and a timber beam mantel plus a feature panelled wall.
The additional separate reception room is presently used as a playroom but would make an ideal study or occasional bedroom.
Completing the ground floor space is the utility room which has a fitted work surface with an inset sink unit set below the front facing window, space for appliances plus the wall mounted gas central heating boiler. A door opens to the fitted downstairs WC having a modern two piece white suite.
To the first floor the lovely split level landing has doors leading to the four bedrooms, three of which can accommodate a double bed, and the fitted family bathroom which has a white three piece suite incorporating a panelled bath with a mixer shower and fitted glazed screen above.
The rear facing master has the benefit of a fitted en suite shower room having a modern suite incorporating a double shower cubicle.
Outside - To the rear a paved patio provides a pleasant seating and entertaining area leading to the garden which is laid to lawn with well stocked borders containing a variety of shrubs plus space for a shed.
To the front is a low maintenance foregarden. Vehicular right of access leads to a driveway providing off road parking.
Please note: Adjacent to the cottage there is a small development of only 13 houses presently under construction. There is also planning permission for a further small development of approx. 13 houses behind the property.
