Large character cottage on 0.5+ acre plot — chain free with refurbishment potential.
Detached 4-bedroom cottage with 3 bathrooms and flexible ground-floor suite
Greystoke Cottage is a spacious four-bedroom period home set on just over 0.5 acres on the edge of Kiddemore Green. The property combines original character (exposed beams, stone and cast-iron fireplaces, oriel window) with large family rooms: double reception, dining room and a generous breakfast kitchen. Grounds include sweeping lawns, mature beds, a double garage, outbuildings and long road frontage — excellent for family outdoor living, gardening or small-scale equestrian/hobby use.
The house has been extended and offers flexible accommodation, including a ground-floor bedroom/office with en-suite that could serve as an annex or multi-generational suite. Fit and finish are traditional: double glazing is fitted, heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, and utilities are mains electricity and water with private septic drainage. Broadband and mobile coverage are reported as fast and excellent respectively, useful if remote working is required.
Practical points: the cottage is chain-free but requires a programme of modernisation — described as needing renovation rather than being move-in ready. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the property runs on oil (not a community supply), so buyers should factor in upgrade costs for insulation, heating and potential bathroom/kitchen modernisation. Drainage to a private septic tank and Council Tax Band G are material considerations.
For a family seeking a roomy, characterful home in a quiet South Staffordshire hamlet, Greystoke Cottage offers immediate charm, excellent outdoor space and scope to add modern comforts and value through sympathetic refurbishment.
