Denise White Estate Agents Comments
Rose Cottage; a quintessential country cottage, believed to date back to the early 1800's, nestled in the centre of the Staffordshire Moorlands village of Wetley Rocks. Having been lovingly improved by the current owners the cottage boasts timeless interiors which have brought back to life much of the property's original character and charm, beautifully complimented by quirky finishes such as live edge oak worktops which have been added to the Kitchen and reclaimed mantlepieces which have been sourced from old canal locks in Scotland.

Let me show you around! An Entrance Porch welcomes you to the property which features a built in storage seat and cloaks hanging space, and leads on through a stable door to the Dining Room. The Dining Room provides the perfect space for you to enjoy a cosy candle lit dinner with loved ones as well as entertaining family and friends. To the left of the Dining Room you will find the Kitchen, which is fitted with a range of bespoke handmade solid oak units with live edge oak work surfaces. If you head back through the Dining Room you will find yourself in the cosiest cottage Lounge, with a feature brick fireplace which has been charmingly finished with an oak beam sourced from an old Scottish Canal Lock. Stairs lead from the Lounge to the First Floor where you will find Bedroom One located to your right; a Double Bedroom with a Beautiful exposed stone chimney breast, overhead loft storage space and an alcove which is currently utilized as a small Dressing Area but also lends itself to be built in for additional storage or wardrobe space. As we head across the landing you will find Bedroom Two positioned to the front aspect; another spacious double room which is currently utilized as an Office with a fabulous built in handmade scaffolding desk area (which the vendors would happily remove if not required), making it the perfect space for those working from home or for the more artistic occupants to indulge in their hobbies. Alongside Bedroom Two is a sizeable Bathroom, currently fitted with a modest Shower Suite but offers excellent scope for creating a wonderful Traditional Bathroom... a free standing roll top bath would set the room off beautifully!

Outside, there is a good sized, private cottage garden to the front aspect, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months; who doesn't love spending a sunny Saturday afternoon in the garden with family and friends, BBQ sizzling away and a refreshing tipple in their hand?! Alongside the garden there is block paved driveway which provides off road parking for two vehicles and a useful brock built garden store.

Ideally located in the centre of Wetley Rocks, within a short walk of the local shop, public house, village hall and primary school, and a short drive from the market towns of Leek and Cheadle where you will find a wide selection of shops, supermarkets and other market town amenities.

An internal viewing of Rose Cottage is essential to fully appreciate the size of the accommodation on offer as well as its period character and charm.

Location
Wetley Rocks is a Staffordshire Moorlands Village located approximately 2 miles from the village of Cheddleton, 6 Miles from the Market Towns of Leek and Cheadle, and 7 miles from Stoke on Trent City Centre.

The village itself enjoys the benefit of a local petrol station which has a shop and post office, as well as a popular public house, a Church, Village Hall and Primary School.

The village lies on a small north-south ridge; immediately to the east is the edge of a plateau, and there are rock outcrops of millstone grit along the northern part of the ridgeline; the outcrops have restricted the growth of the village east of the A520. The name of the village comes from these rock outcrops, and from the nature of the pasture land (ley or lea being pasture). A local quarry, part of the same outcrop, provided the stone for many of the original buildings.

Wetley Abbey, about half a mile south of the village, is a large building built in the early 19th century in Gothic style although it has no religious connections; it is now a care home but was at one time the home of the 19th-century painter George Hemming Mason.
