Nestled in the picturesque, historic village of Hoar Cross between Burton upon Trent and Lichfield, this luxuriously renovated 1850’s cottage is the perfect countryside retreat. Located next to an award-winning restaurant, and just a mile from one of Europe’s largest state-of-the-art spas, join a group of family and friends to unwind, leaving the world behind and immersing yourselves in true country life. Centrally located in the UK, guests can explore the delights of rural Staffordshire and Derbyshire with ease. For those who love the outdoors, Cannock Chase AONB and the Peak District National Park are nearby, and for the adrenaline fix, plan a day trip to Alton Towers (18 miles) or a flying lesson at Tatenhill Airfield (3 miles). With Uttoxeter Racecourse, the National Brewing Museum, St George’s Park National Football Centre, and The Mug Tug pottery all within 10 miles, you can make this a holiday to remember for everyone.
Entering through the front porch, you have an abundance of space on the traditional hard floor to shake off the outdoors, wipe down the dogs and get yourself cosy for the rest of the day. The low ceilings and quaint intimate rooms welcome you with warmth, and downstairs there are several living spaces for you to come together and relax. The traditional farmhouse kitchen has everything you need to feed the group, who can gather at the kitchen’s breakfast table to enjoy the chef’s work if numbers are low, or meet in the airy dining room in the next room. When you’re ready to settle down for the evening, choose between the cosy snug space, or the wood burner and Smart TV in the main living room. Upstairs, the comfort and style continue into the four beautifully renovated bedrooms, each with its own colour theme and soft linen. There are three king-size bedrooms and one twin bedroom, all served by the spacious and well-appointed family bathroom. You’ll find the final king-size bedroom in the converted garage, just a short 10-metre stroll through the beautiful garden – this space is perfect for those seeking a bit more privacy.
Outside, there are two hot tubs nestled under pergolas with waterproof blinds and an open/close roof, allowing you to indulge in this space no matter the time of year. LED lighting illuminates the way, and a lavish outdoor dining and seating area brings the whole group together to gather around the built-in fire pit on an evening, enjoying late-night conversations and star gazing. This is all set amongst a large, enclosed garden to the rear of the property, safe for children and dogs, and offers views of the rolling countryside and apple trees. For those special al fresco dining memories, there is also a BBQ for you to enjoy.
