Denise White Agent Comments

Rose Cottage is a charming stone-built country cottage, believed to date back to the early 1800s, positioned in the heart of the sought-after Staffordshire Moorlands village of Wetley Rocks. Full of character and period charm throughout, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation alongside a wonderful blend of traditional cottage features and tasteful modern touches.

A welcoming Entrance Porch provides useful cloaks storage and leads through a stable door into the Dining Room; a cosy yet versatile space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Located just off the Dining Room is the beautifully fitted Kitchen, complete with bespoke solid oak units and striking live-edge oak work surfaces, perfectly complementing the cottage’s rustic charm.

The Lounge is positioned to the rear of the property and offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, centred around a feature brick fireplace with exposed oak beam mantle. Stairs rise from the Lounge to the First Floor Landing, giving access to two generously proportioned Double Bedrooms and the Bathroom. Bedroom One enjoys a beautiful exposed stone chimney breast together with useful loft storage and alcove space, while Bedroom Two offers excellent versatility as either a spacious bedroom, home office or hobby room. The Bathroom has been renovated by the current owners and is fitted with a beautiful fittings including separate shower and freestanding bath.

Externally, the property enjoys a private cottage-style garden to the front aspect, providing the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months. A block paved driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, alongside a useful brick-built garden store.

Ideally situated within walking distance of the village shop, public house, primary school and village hall, Rose Cottage also enjoys convenient access to the nearby market towns of Leek and Cheadle, which offer a wide range of shops, supermarkets and local amenities.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, character and surprisingly spacious accommodation Rose Cottage has to offer.

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.
