Denise White Estate Agents
Nestled in a truly idyllic spot, on the edge of Deep Hayes Country Park, sits Quarry Cottage. A unique period property which is believed to date back to the 18th Century and is thought to have originally been a Lime Burners Cottage for the local Lime Kiln workers of the time. Quarry Cottage is one of the oldest properties in the locality which has without a doubt stood the test of time and seen the area evolve from a large industrial site to a beautiful country park covering 143 acres of woodland, meadows and pools.

Let me take you inside! The Entrance Porch opens out in to a cosy Lounge which features a multifuel stove with a backboiler which provides hot water. To the side of the Lounge there is a Conservatory which opens out to the garden through French Doors. Back through the Lounge we head to the Kitchen, which is fitted with traditional country cottage style units. Stairs lead from the Kitchen to the First Floor where you will find a Double Bedroom positioned to the front aspect, with exposed beams to the ceiling. Back across the landing the Bathroom is located to the side aspect and there is a small Study. The Cottage stands in a modest plot which offers scope for extension of the cottage subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, and is surrounded by mature gardens, with a sectional garage, timber garden shed, fishpond and summer house.

Located on a quiet country lane between villages of Longsdon and Cheddleton, a short drive from the market town of Leek and within easy reach of Stoke on Trent City Centre. Just down the lane you can walk in to the main entrance of Deep Hayes Country Park or on to the Caldon Canal which provide lovely rural walks and fishing facilities. There are also a number of fabulous country pubs within a short distance as well as a local tearoom in Cheddleton, together with the church, community centre and primary school.

Not only does Quarry Cottage make a wonderful home, but also lends itself for use as a holiday cottage given its stunning location, a viewing of which is essential in order to truly appreciate it!

Location
Quarry Cottage stands on a Country lane between the villages of Cheddleton and Longsdon, and within a short drive of the fabulous Market Town of Leek.

Leek is known as the 'Queen of the Staffordshire Moorlands', a former textile town with a long and fascinating history.

The unspoilt town centre offers a refreshing alternative to from modern shopping malls and has a wealth of independent shops, including former silk mills housing antique and reproduction pine centres, as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings.

Delicious local produce can be found in abundance at traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessens and cafes. Leek is also home to speciality producers of condiments, confectionery, preserves, wine, whisky, craft beers and the traditional Staffordshire oatcake.

Traditional markets abound, both indoors in the beautifully restored Victorian Butter Market and outdoors in the Market Place, offering everything from general goods, antiques and collectables to fine foods and special 'Totally Locally' Sunday markets. And when it comes to wining and dining, you can choose from a tempting selection of cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.

Further afield, you'll find the unique, tooth-like rock formations of The Roaches, Rudyard Lake with its picturesque setting and narrow gauge railway and Tittesworth Water, a popular and accessible attraction for visitors of all ages.
