A picturesque three-bedroom thatched cottage set within approximately 5.3 acres of paddocks and formal gardens, Ladybirch Cottage combines period charm with practical equestrian facilities. The house has been tastefully extended and presents elegant living spaces including a dining room and lounge both with log burners, a bespoke kitchen with granite surfaces, and well-appointed bedroom and bathroom suites. A separate games room and a substantial three-car thatched garage with loft add useful ancillary space.
The estate is set well back from the lane with long drives, extensive parking, two stables, paddocks and corrugated outbuildings — ideal for an equestrian buyer or anyone seeking space and privacy in a rural setting. The owners have also operated touring and camping pitches on the land (mains hook-ups and an external shower/WC block), however the sale is for the house and land as a private residence; the business is not included.
Practical considerations are clear and important: there is no mains drainage or gas (sewage via septic tank), heating is oil-fired, broadband is reported slow and mobile signal average. The property will require ongoing specialist maintenance and insurance costs associated with a thatched roof. A public footpath crosses the grounds and CCTV will be in operation. Council tax is band F — purchasers should factor running costs into their budget.
For buyers seeking substantial land, character and immediate equestrian potential within easy driving distance of Stafford and the M6, this rare thatched cottage offers a combination of rural lifestyle and commuter convenience. Copies of Land Registry documents and other enquiries are available to interested parties for legal and technical review.
