Keepers Cottage, Farley Road, Oakamoor

Keepers Cottage offers a quaint Grade II Listed, three bedroom stone and tiled cottage in a fantastic setting. This quaint cottage is situated in a rural location and is surrounded by its own 5 acres of land or thereabouts. The property is in need of a scheme of modernisation and improvement, but would make an idyllic family home. Internally there is an entrance hall, spacious living room, kitchen and bathroom to the ground floor and three bedrooms to the first floor. Externally, Keepers Cottage has the added benefit of an adjoining two storey outbuilding, along with a former tennis court and open fronted storage barn.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential and peaceful lifestyle that Keepers Cottage offers.
