Oak Tree Cottage offers a fantastic opportunity to escape the rigours of urban life - a characterful, detached period cottage set in 4 acres of garden & paddock with far-reaching views over the Staffordshire countryside. The property as a whole has undergone a full renovation by the current owners offering comfortable accommodation which is beautifully presented throughout. In addition to the main house, there is a self-contained home office with potential for further adaptation to an annexe or holiday let. Perfectly set up for equestrian pursuits or hobby farming with four adjacent paddocks, yard, stables and agricultural buildings. Located roughly halfway between the canal town of Stone and the market town of Uttoxeter, within easy reach of Stafford, just a short distance from Cannock Chase, Trentham Gardens, Alton Towers and many other local beauty spots and attractions.
