Full Description

We are proud to offer this Three Bedroom Detached Cottage – all interest and OFFERS are INVITED.

*Guide Price £445,000 - £425,000*

Nestled in the heart of the charming hamlet of Copmere End, just five minutes from the sought-after village of Eccleshall, The Old Post Office is a rare gem, a beautifully updated three-bedroom country cottage that effortlessly blends character with contemporary living. The property boasts a delightful part-walled courtyard garden and 0.38 acres of paddocks complete with a stable block, offering both charm and versatility.

Upon arrival, a picket gate set in a stone wall leads into a pretty front courtyard and on through the front door into a warm and welcoming dining hall. This inviting space features a quarry tiled floor with a decorative inlaid border, triple aspect windows, and a multi-fuel stove set within an inset fireplace with an oak mantle. From here, the cottage flows into the kitchen, which is well-appointed with a range of Shaker-style units, an integrated dishwasher, bin store, space for an oven with extractor hood, and a tall fridge-freezer. The kitchen is open to a light-filled garden room with a sky lantern and French doors opening out to the rear courtyard, ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons. Off the garden room is a walk-in coat store and a convenient ground floor WC.

Back through the dining hall, a door leads to the cosy lounge where another multi-fuel stove is framed by a striking Cotswold stone fire surround. A bow window adds character while a tiled floor enhances the rustic charm. A staircase ascends from the lounge to the first floor landing, where you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms offering lovely views over the paddocks and surrounding countryside, along with a generous single bedroom currently used as a home office. Completing the upper level is the family bathroom, fitted with a P-shaped bath and shower over, WC, and wash basin.

The rear courtyard garden is an idyllic sun trap, perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Across the lane lies the paddock and stable block, which back onto open fields with mature hedgerows and views toward Copmere Lake. The stable block, set on a concrete base, includes a large stable, a storage area currently divided into two smaller stables, and a covered enclosed bay for hay or bedding. There’s also a small turnout paddock to the left and a larger paddock to the right with a field shelter. A large parking area in front of the stables easily accommodates four cars and a horsebox or trailer, and there's an additional brick-built store that was once a piggery.

This versatile land is currently home to two Shetland ponies, but could also suit a smallholding, an allotment garden, or, with the appropriate planning permissions, the conversion of the stables into a triple garage. The Old Post Office is a property that offers not only charm and comfort but also significant lifestyle potential.

Copmere End is a tranquil rural hamlet with a popular local pub, located just 1.5 miles from Eccleshall. This thriving village offers a wide selection of amenities, including local shops, cafés, pubs, a supermarket, butcher’s shop, garden centre, and saddlery. Stafford, the county town, is just a twenty-minute drive and offers a broader range of services, a mainline railway station, and access to the M6 motorway. This wonderful cottage and its land truly deserve a personal visit to appreciate everything they offer.
