This attractive cottage in rural Staffordshire is one of three beautifully converted properties arranged around a large courtyard. Sleeping six, it is ideal for families, couples, or friends holidaying together. You will be on the outskirts of Yoxall (0.5 miles), a picturesque village beside the River Swarbourn, with two pubs, a corner shop, and an attractive mix of 14th-century timber-framed buildings and fine red-brick farmhouses. Visit Barton, Alrewas or Fradley (all within 6 miles), for towpath walks, or the nearby National Forest (4 miles) for hundreds of miles of routes and plentiful opportunities to spot wildlife. The National Memorial Arboretum (7.5 miles) offers 150 acres of woodland and gardens to explore and hosts regular events. Lichfield (8.5 miles) is home to an impressive medieval cathedral, and for a family day out, head to the famous Alton Towers (21 miles). Birmingham (26 miles) boasts museums, galleries, music venues, shopping, and independent eateries. Golfers will have the choice between two good courses within 11 miles.
Downstairs, the open-plan layout makes it easy for your group to spend quality time together. Three steps down from the entrance hall leads into the comfortable living room, where a Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker, and electric fire set the scene for cosy afternoons. The adjoining dining area sets you up perfectly for leisurely breakfasts and evening feasts, prepared in the modern kitchen, which is equipped with everything you need for self-catering. Patio doors open directly from here onto the decking. Also on this floor is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, alongside a flexible twin bedroom with zip-and-link 2ft 6in single beds. Head upstairs to find a second king-size bedroom, along with a large family bathroom with a cubicle shower and elegant slipper bath – lovely for a long holiday soak. The air-source central heating includes underfloor heating downstairs.
There is plenty of space outside, with a garden enjoying restful views across open fields. You will have a furnished decked area for al fresco dining or evening drinks. Two allocated parking spaces are provided outside the property, with further parking available on request. When booked as a group, the gardens of all three properties can be opened up to connect with one another.
