BRIEF DESCRIPTION This impressive Six Bedroom Detached Cottage is in a stunning rural location with far-reaching countryside views, yet just a mile from the pretty village of Norton-in-Hales. Offered to the market with No Upward Chain, it's beautifully presented throughout and has been sympathetically modernised to blend the traditional cottage features with the demands of modern family life.

The property oozes curb appeal with a pretty front garden with a path leading up to the front door to the Porch - which then opens to the warm and cosy Reception Hall that sets the tone of quality and space for the rest of the property. Here you'll find a log burner set in an inglenook fireplace, with oak flooring, beams to the ceiling, spotlights and shutters to the window. Off the Hall is the Cloaks WC, and stairs leading to the first floor Landing.

Off the Hallway is the Snug/Family room with parquet floor, beams and shutters to the window that overlooks the front of the property. The Lounge is a lovely light and spacious room with French doors to the Garden, white painted beams and a log burner set in a feature brick fireplace with oak mantle.

However, the undoubted heart of this lovely home is the Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room with its high specification Kitchen, underfloor heating and bi-fold doors to the Garden. There's an extensive range of flat-fronted units with quartz tops, and integrated appliances including a fridge, oven, bin store, dish washer, freezer, two larder cupboards and a Blanco 1.5 sink with Quooker Flex mixed tap for instant boiling and filtered cold water, and a central island De Dietrich hob, pan storage drawers and breakfast bar, and an Aga cooker. There's space for a large kitchen table and a sofa and light floods in through the skylights and dual aspect windows.

The smart tiled floor runs through to the inner Hall with Laundry Room and the Shower Room with corner shower and storage cupboards, one of which houses the Firebird Envirogreen boiler. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a generous Guest Bedroom which would also make a perfect Home Office as it has independent access via the Boot Room.

Moving to the first floor and the accommodation is set off a long central landing with light from the doors out to the balcony. All the Bedrooms are double rooms, with Bedroom Two having an En Suite Shower Room. The Principal Bedroom is another light, bright room with dual aspect windows, built-in wardrobes, ceiling spotlights and an En Suite with walk-in shower. Finally, the Family Bathroom is simply stunning, with a walk-in shower and free-standing bath tub.

Externally, Oak Cottage continues to impress! With a driveway to the left that offers you Parking for two cars, and then the main drive is to the right of the property with a gate opening to the gravelled driveway that sweeps around to the rear of the property offering you parking for a further 3-4 cars.

To the right of the driveway is a large lawn with an orchard that flows round to the rear of the property offering you both a generous lawn and woodland area, a patio area with curved wall behind which is the garden shed and a kitchen garden with raised beds and a green house. Finally, there's an impressive patio entertaining area with space for a hot tub, BBQ and large garden table - plus a circular raised pond and brick-built garden store.

This gorgeous property is available to view through our Market Drayton office, so call us today to arrange a viewing.
