Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is the best of both worlds – a traditional cottage fully equipped with modern appliances. With both an outdoor BBQ grill and a real working fireplace inside, it’s an ideal rural retreat in any season. The only noise disturbance is from birdsong, and maybe the odd tractor. The expansive garden rolls into beautiful countryside, and days here are best spent walking across the fields and down the canal for a pub lunch. There are local attractions aplenty, with the Lichfield Cathedral, Garrick Theatre, and Kings Bromley Marina all a short drive away.

About Staffordshire
Unlike Burton-Upon-Trent’s famous spread, Marmite, Staffordshire isn’t quite so divisive. Visitors flock to the West Midlands county from far and wide, falling head over heels for its glorious green spaces, dramatic slice of the Peak District and those lip-smacking oat cakes. In the north, it’s all scenic hikes over rolling hills, past gritstone outcrops, through wild valleys and purple heather moors. The pretty market town of Leek, also known as...
