2 Bed Cottage in Uttoxeter

About this property

Set near the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border, this beautifully converted stone barn is located on a rural working smallholding, opposite the owner's property. It is an excellent base for friends and family to enjoy culture, countryside, and adventure. Walk or cycle from the door onto the Churnet Valley trail, enjoy the wildlife, and the choice of cafes – Denstone Hall Farm Shop in one direction, and The Ramblers' Retreat at Dimmingsdale in the other. Uttoxeter (6 miles) offers a rich history, featuring the Market Square, Redfern's Cottage – a 17th-century museum of local life – and landmarks such as St Mary's Church and the historic racecourse. Ashbourne, known as the Gateway to the Peak District, is just 6 miles away. C2C Outdoors (4 miles) invites you to try kayaking, cycling, and guided hikes. Families will love Alton Towers Resort (4 miles) with its world-class rides. Head to Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood (10 miles), or explore the Trentham Estate and Monkey Forest (16 miles).

Step inside, into a bright and cheerful, open-plan living space. Splashes of rich colour, and comfortable soft seating create a warm and inviting lounge – a lovely spot to unwind in front of the Smart TV after a day of exploring. With underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, you're sure to get cosy! Gather around the dining table for family meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen at one end of the barn. Finished in warm uplifting tones, it’s a joy to cook in, and it opens directly onto the patio garden so you can easily take your feast outside on sunny days. The ground floor also has an inviting king-size bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, plus a family bathroom with a shower over the bath for added convenience. Upstairs, tucked under the sloping eaves, is a cosy twin bedroom that children will adore along with a reading nook under the skylight perfect for adults and children alike.

Outdoors, the enclosed patio garden is a private little haven surrounded by rolling countryside greenery. Enjoy al fresco dining, evening drinks, or simply soaking up the peace and quiet. With parking for two cars, you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing countryside escape.
