Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Stafford, ST21 :
Taking its name from the water fountain that once supplied the village of Slindon with fresh spring water, Fountain Cottage has been the subject of a scheme of both renovation and extension and as such has been transformed into a spacious family home with outside space to match.
The cottage is presented in immaculate condition throughout, having been extensively redecorated and lovingly maintained. The large dining kitchen was replaced 18 months ago and boasts a range of integrated appliances, plenty of preparation space and large central island unit. A smart conservatory is entered through double doors from the kitchen, in turn leading to the enclosed rear garden. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room with access from the front driveway, the utility also housing a boiler room and separate ground floor wash room.
The cottage also has a very large open plan sitting and dining room, an L-shaped room with double doors opening out to the courtyard and two large bow windows over a smartly landscaped, enclosed rear garden. In addition to this is another good sized reception room, currently set out as a home office.
Stairs rise from the hallway to a light and airy first floor landing from where there are five bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, the remaining three bedrooms served by a well-appointed principal bathroom. The master bedroom is simply stunning, with two Juliet balconies overlooking the courtyard and paddocks beyond. It is also complete with a contemporary en-suite shower room and a range of fitted bedroom furniture.
Externally, the paddock and garden total approximately 1.8 acres, with a further 2.1 acres which is rented from a neighbouring farm, linked by an adjoining gate. There is a silica sand and CLOPF surfaced 20m x 40m arena and troughs in all paddocks, the paddocks all being securely fenced with post and rail fencing and/ or hedging.
Along with a triple garage, there are four stables (two brick and two timber, all with auto drinkers installed), two tack rooms. There is a wash bay with hot and cold running water and additional hay barn. There is a tarmac area to the side of the garage of ample size for parking a large transporter and parking for numerous cars.
Externally there is an enclosed and private garden to the rear side of the cottage, with paved terrace and shaped lawn. There is a large area of lawn to the front of the property which overlooks the paddock and menage.
Located in the pretty village of Slindon, on the outskirts of Eccleshall, the property is within easy reach of the thriving High Street and associated amenities.
