Three double bedrooms with period features
Set on the edge of Oakamoor, this three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian cottage offers sweeping field and woodland views and a large private garden — a rare find for buyers seeking a rural lifestyle. The house retains period character such as sash windows, fireplaces and quarry-tile flooring, giving a strong base to restore and personalise. Sold with no upward chain, it suits a buyer ready to renovate and add value.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: two reception rooms, a compact kitchen, and three double bedrooms upstairs. The plot feels bigger than the internal footprint, providing scope for extension or landscaping (subject to consents). Off-street parking and a useful outbuilding/boiler shed add everyday convenience for village living.
Buyers should note material drawbacks clearly and factually. The property needs renovation throughout: heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and the EPC rating is F. Broadband is slow and there is no mobile signal on site — factors to consider if remote working or connectivity is important. The overall internal size is modest (c. 429 sq ft), so the house will suit those who prioritise outdoor space and location over internal square footage.
This is best for a family or couple who value countryside privacy, period character and a large garden, and who are prepared for improvement work to create a comfortable, energy-efficient home. The village setting, very low local crime and good nearby schools add to the long-term appeal once refurbished.
