Dollymakers Hill, Gentleshaw, Rugeley , WS15

Have you ever wanted to experience a little bit of 'The Good Life'? Tom and Barbara Good entertained the nation for years with the idea of leaving the rat race, getting your hands dirty and being self sustainable, now you have the opportunity to do it yourself! This fantastic opportunity to secure a beautiful, stand alone, chocolate box cottage on the outskirts of Gentleshaw with a CPH license allowing it to be ran as a smallholding with livestock, on a plot pushing just over half an acre. Surrounded by fields on all sides and skirting the edge of Cannock Chase (AONB) with regular visits from the local deer this spectacular location has to be seen to be appreciated. The house itself sit's centrally on the plot with countryside views to all sides, having off road parking for several cars, as the tarmac driveway leads down the side and rear of the property leading you to the detached single garage, the plot has been divided via hedges and trees to give natural areas for gardens, planting areas with greenhouse and shed, and once upon a time substantial allotments, while still allowing approximately a third of the plot to be separated with post and wire fencing for the current owners sheep to graze on. Internally the property may require some general modernisation throughout but offers a good size fitted kitchen with views over the fields to the rear along side formal living room and dining room a further snug, porch entrance and five meter conservatory, while the first floor offers three good size double bedrooms along side the family bathroom. An early viewing of this property is considered essential to fully appreciate what this spectacular property and plot has to offer.
