1 bedroom terraced house to rent

A quaint and pretty, grade II listed, mid terraced cottage in a most convenient location on the outskirts of the charming village of Barlaston. The cottage has retained a wealth of character and charm and enjoys a long garden with outbuildings to the rear.

The cottage is entered directly into the sitting room which has a sanded wooden flooring and an exposed brick chimney breast along with a window to the front elevation. Beyond the sitting room is a fitted kitchen with window and door leading to the rear garden and staircase to the first floor. The kitchen provides a number of fitted units with integrated electric oven, four ring gas hob, space for under counter fridge and plumbing for washing machine. A double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, large storage area/landing and shower room complete the accommodation.

Outside, the garden stretches a long way back with block paved seating area adjacent to the house and a brick and tile outbuilding particularly useful for storage. Beyond this are planted borders and a decked seating area. Please note that neighbouring properties have access across the rear of the house.

Heyfield Cottages are located just half a mile from the centre of Barlaston village where there is a parade of useful shops, pubs and a primary school. The nearby A34 gives access to the canal town of Stone to the South and Newcastle under Lyme and the Potteries to the North. The popular Trentham Gardens and Shopping Village are located just a few miles up the road.

This modest cottage would be ideally suited to a single occupant or couple. Due to the proximity of the main road to the front door, it is felt that the property is unsuitable for pets. There is some off road parking on the opposite side of the road. The property is available immediately.
