A luxurious brick-built semi-detached barn conversion on the outskirts of the pretty Staffordshire village of Fulford. Next to the owners home on a working smallholding, the cottage has been finished with high specification solid oak furniture and quality fixtures. With the addition of fantastic outdoor space, the cottage is equally ideal for a couple, two couples, a small family or a group of four. As you step into the open plan living area, kick off your shoes to take full advantage of the warmth from the underfloor heated wood-effect flooring throughout. The whole room floods with light from the full height window wall. There are sumptuous sofas where you can flop in front of the designer woodburning stove or maybe watch a movie. There is a superb modern kitchen with a lovely dining area making for an excellent breakfast. Both bedrooms have lovely views, equally spacious and well-appointed including TVs. The double room has an en-suite shower room and there is also a bathroom on the landing as well which can effectively serve as an en-suite for the second bedroom. As with the rest of the property the owners have spared no expense on the outside of the cottage. A raised terrace with patio and lawned area is a fantastic place to sit out and dine alfresco while enjoying the lovely scenery, or take a long soak in the superb hot tub while looking at the unimpeded starlit sky. If you fancy a change of pace and scene, its a short drive to the towns of Stone, Stafford and Uttoxeter, each with a great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Uttoxeter is home to a popular racecourse which has meetings throughout the year and the ever-popular Alton Towers theme park is just 12 miles away. With other attractions in the area such as Chatsworth House, Amerton Farm, Shugborough Hall, Cannock Chase, Trentham Gardens, Wedgwood Centre and The Potteries, there is lots to enjoy whatever the season. Note: The owner also owns Kipling Lodge property reference 970198; this property is 15 miles away located in Rudyard, Peak District.
