Locality - Alton is a picturesque village located in Staffordshire, England, renowned for its scenic beauty and historic charm. Nestled within the Churnet Valley, Alton boasts a rich heritage, with landmarks such as the Gothic-style Alton Castle and the adjacent St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church. The village is perhaps best known for being home to the popular Alton Towers Resort, one of the UK's premier theme parks, which draws visitors from all over the world. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush countryside, Alton offers a tranquil retreat with a vibrant community spirit, making it a delightful destination for both residents and tourists seeking to explore the idyllic landscapes of Staffordshire.
Owner's perspective - "We fell in love with Cherry Cottage as it fulfilled the dream of living the rural life tucked away, immersed in nature with privacy and peace and direct walking access onto the Staffordshire Way leading to Dimmingsdale (Ramblers Retreat café being a favourite daily walk) and the Churnet Valley with miles of open countryside to explore and yet less than 5 minutes' walk into the village with its shop, post office, doctors and pubs.
We loved the house and its mix of old and new, a comfortable family home with space in and out both practical and quirky and lots of potential for it to be whatever you want it to be.
The wildlife and the night skies have been the icing on this cherry cake, we have had foxes and deer, rabbits and squirrels, the jay, woodpecker and owl all visiting us in the garden and even our very own frogs as well as the joy of watching the lambs in the field – the good life can be achieved without feeling totally isolated and not many properties can offer it all."
