Rose Cottage is a traditional two-bedroom period cottage sitting on the edge of Norton Bridge, offered chain-free and ready for a buyer who wants to restore character. The property occupies a decent plot with a level rear lawn and open rural views, making it a rare find for a village location midway between Stone and Eccleshall. The layout includes two reception rooms, a small kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms within about 719 sq ft.
The house requires extensive updating: there is no central heating system (electric heaters assumed), the walls are solid brick with no cavity insulation, and internal fittings are dated. Double glazing is in place but predates 2002. Practical issues to budget for include full modernisation of the kitchen and bathroom, likely rewiring and insulation works, and replacement or upgrade of heating and hot-water systems.
For buyers seeking a renovation project, the cottage offers genuine scope to add value while retaining Victorian features such as exposed brickwork and period fireplaces. The plot is well positioned for privacy and rear outlook, but note the adjoining property has a pedestrian right of way across part of the garden. Broadband speeds are very slow locally and crime levels are above average, which should be considered when assessing suitability. The property is freehold, vacant on completion and in Council Tax Band C.
