Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Ivy Cottage is a quintessential stone-built home nestled in the heart of the highly regarded village of Stanley. Dating back to the early 1900s, the property is brimming with character and delightfully traditional features, including low ceilings, exposed beams, ledge-and-brace doors with wrought iron latches, and a charming cobbled courtyard. Warm, welcoming and full of storybook charm, this beautiful cottage offers the perfect blend of period appeal and modern comfort.

A small entrance hall greets you as you step inside, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to both the lounge and the dining kitchen. The lounge is a cosy yet surprisingly generous space, complete with a log-burning stove-perfect for curling up beside on cooler evenings. The kitchen is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, fitted with a modern range of units and high-quality integrated appliances, while still offering ample space for a dining table and chairs. From the dining area, a door leads to an inner hallway, giving access to the downstairs bathroom.

To the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each boasting views across the cobbled courtyard and the pretty village rooftops beyond.

Outside, electric gates provide secure access to the courtyard, which offers the versatility of off-road parking or a private outdoor space, ideal for garden furniture and al fresco dining in the warmer months. With its rustic charm and sheltered setting, the courtyard is a true extension of the living space.

Ivy Cottage also benefits from a fitted alarm system and CCTV cameras, providing enhanced security and added peace of mind for the homeowner.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Stanley, just a stone’s throw from the popular Travellers Rest pub and surrounded by the rolling Staffordshire Moorlands countryside, this property is ideally placed for those who enjoy scenic walks and rural tranquillity. The neighbouring village of Endon is only a short drive away and offers a selection of independent shops, eateries and two highly regarded schools.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful rural retreat or a taste of idyllic village life with amenities close by, Ivy Cottage offers the best of both worlds-a place to unwind, breathe deeply and truly feel at home.
