Cottage with countryside views on market for £275k

If you don't want to be too far out in the sticks, but you still love the feeling of privacy that the countryside brings, this cottage in Stafford ^[1] could be the perfect home for you. The three-bedroom home in Cotes Heath, is a short drive to Eccleshall ^[2] and Baldwin's Gate.

It is also minutes away from from junction 15 of the M6 motorway, making it close to Newcastle-under-Lyme ^[3], Stone ^[4] and Stoke-on-Trent.

The spacious modern house has stunning views over rolling countryside and large windows making the house bright and airy. It has a huge back garden, perfect for BBQs, entertaining and for children to play in.

It's a steal at £275,000 on rightmove. A large sitting room, added as an extension, has double doors leading into the garden.

Another sitting room has an exposed beam, showing the character of the house, and a log burner to keep you cosy in the colder months. The house has a long driveway and an attached garage to keep cars safe on the property.

The semi-detached property, set next to the historic Hatton Waterworks, has a semi-opened up kitchen which attaches to the extension completed by the owners five years ago. The modern kitchen has cream units and dark wooden worktops. There is space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer.

The bedrooms boast beautiful views over the countryside and two are large enough for either to be used as a master bedroom. Outside there's a little outhouse which makes ideal storage for gardening tools and there's also a small shed for logs. The garage -which can be accessed from the back of the property - also offers plenty of storage.

The garden also features mature trees and shrubs at the front before a pergola gives a glimpse into the second part of the garden with its countryside views. There is a decent sized family bathroom with a bath, toilet and sink.
