Summary - The Cottage, Bridle Lane, Broad Heath, STAFFORD ST20 0GG
Circa 1.5 acres of private grounds and paddock
Set on approximately 1.5 acres, The Cottage is a substantial Victorian detached home offering traditional character and extensive private grounds. Brick construction, gabled rooflines and mature cottage planting create a secluded, rural setting with open farmland views — ideal for families seeking outdoor space, smallholders or buyers wanting room for outbuildings and paddocks.
Internally the house combines period features — fireplaces, exposed beams and pitched ceilings — with practical family living: a large farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast space, multiple reception rooms and four bedrooms across two floors. The overall footprint is generous (circa 2,022 sq ft), while individual rooms feel comfortable rather than overly large, making the layout practical for everyday family life and flexible for home working or hobby uses.
Location is a strong selling point for country living: very low local crime, easy access to open countryside and within reasonable commuting distance of Stafford and the M6. Local schools, including several rated Good, and nearby Cannock Chase AONB add to the appeal for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working; council tax is high (Band F); and the EPC is currently in progress. The property appears well maintained externally, but cupboards, services and appliances have not been tested and modest refurbishment may be required in places to update heating, electrics or finishes to modern standards. The hamlet setting offers privacy but is isolated, so routine shopping and some services will require driving.
