Summary - The Cottage, Bridle Lane, Broad Heath, STAFFORD ST20 0GG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious countryside home with period charm and extensive grounds.
Approximately 1.5 acres private grounds and paddock potential
Set back in around 1.5 acres of private grounds, The Cottage is a Victorian brick detached home that will appeal to families seeking space and country life. Period features — exposed beams, fireplaces and pitched bedroom ceilings — combine with a modernised farmhouse-style kitchen and generous gardens with paddock potential. The house sits in a quiet hamlet between Haughton and Woodseaves, with open farmland views and easy access to Stafford for shops and rail links.
Internally the room sizes are small-to-medium but the overall footprint is generous for a cottage, offering flexible living across two storeys and scope for modest refurbishment. There is an AGA-style range in a large, open-plan kitchen/breakfast space, reception rooms with character fireplaces and a contemporary shower room. The mature cottage gardens, paved patio areas and outbuildings/paddock give exceptional outside space for children, animals or hobbies.
Practical points: broadband speeds are very slow, council tax is high (Band F) and the EPC is currently in progress. While many character elements are retained, buyers should expect some maintenance and updating rather than a fully modern turnkey finish. The location offers excellent commuting options via the M6 and Stafford station, while local primary and secondary schools rated Good make this a sensible family buy for countryside living with accessible amenities.
Overall this is a tranquil, well‑proportioned rural cottage for buyers who prioritise plot, privacy and character over instant modern convenience. It suits those wanting outdoor scope for paddocks or outbuildings and who accept modest internal updating and slower digital connectivity.
