A characterful detached cottage which has been extended to create a lovely family home, set in a non-estate location in the peaceful village of Staythorpe.
Originally dating back to the early 1700's, The Cottage blends contemporary design with original character features and offers spacious, flexible living accommodation across two floors.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall with underfloor heating and a cloakroom with W/C.
The hub of the home is a superb open-plan living space with a stylish fitted kitchen, granite island, integrated appliances, and utility area. This flows into a light-filled living area with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.
The integrated appliances include two ovens, two microwave ovens, induction hob, two-ring LPG gas hob, dishwasher, full-height fridge, and full-height freezer. In the utility area there are two skylights providing additional light, plus a separate ceramic sink.
A beamed dual-aspect sitting room with quarry-tiled floor and log-burning stove is full of character, while a further reception room/study/snug with log burner provides flexible use.
Completing the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom with French doors to the outside and a modern family bathroom comprising a bath with shower over, low flush WC, wash hand basin with vanity storage, and tiled floor.
Upstairs, the main bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes and drawers along with an exposed brick fireplace, while a further double bedroom enjoys a dual aspect.
Along the landing is a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, drawers, and wall-mounted mirror, plus a contemporary shower room fitted with a double walk-in shower with rainfall head, low flush WC, wash hand basin, heated towel ladder, and tiled walls.
The property has oak internal doors throughout and where stone flooring is laid there is under floor heating. An efficient air source heat pump supplies the property’s central heating and hot water.
Outside, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with approximately half an acre of beautifully maintained wrap-around gardens including an orchard of fruit trees, vegetable plots, raised flower beds, a wildlife pond, patio area, garden shed and extensive lawn.
An electric gated driveway leads to a detached barn with garage, open workshop, and log stores, providing ample storage. There is also an EV charging station.
The home also benefits from full planning permission for a large single storey extension to create a reception room and additional study space leading onto an extensive paved patio, with foundations already in place.
The Cottage is a rare opportunity in an idyllic setting, and internal viewing is strongly recommended.
