Set back from the road behind a long driveway, Walnut Tree Cottage is an extended four‑bedroom detached home surrounded by large, mature cottage gardens. The property combines period charm from its 1890s origins with practical family spaces — a farmhouse breakfast kitchen, two reception rooms and a large conservatory — arranged over an average-sized 1,575 sq ft footprint.
Highlights include extensive off‑road parking, a detached double garage with a first-floor office ideal for home working, and secluded lawns, mature trees and borders that provide strong outdoor appeal. Bedroom one benefits from an en‑suite shower room and there are three further bedrooms served by a generous family bathroom. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and windows are double glazed.
Important practical points: drainage is to a septic tank, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the property sits in council tax band F (expensive). Planning permission for a three‑bed bungalow within the grounds was previously granted but has lapsed; the large plot offers potential for redevelopment subject to new approvals. The energy rating is to be confirmed and, given the house’s age, some ongoing maintenance and updating should be expected.
For a growing family seeking rural privacy with good commuter access (M6 c.30 minutes, Market Drayton c.8 miles) this cottage offers a rare combination of character, space and ancillary accommodation. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the size of the gardens, the flexible garage/office space and the general layout of rooms.
