Moreton Lane, Draycott-in-the-clay

Highly suitable whether looking to move up or down the property ladder, or for a country retreat, internal inspection of this individually designed detached home is essential to appreciate the room dimensions and layout including the hugely impressive living room with its high vaulted ceiling and exposed timberwork, the flexibility to use the rooms to best suit your needs, its outside space which overlooks fields to the rear, and the exact courtyard setting.

Set back from Moreton Lane in a popular area between the villages of Draycott in the Clay and Marchington which both provide a range of amenities including a first school, public houses, a convenience shop. The towns of Uttoxeter, Ashbourne and Burton upon Trent, plus the cathedral city of Lichfield are all within easy commutable distance, and the nearby A50 dual carriageway links the M1 & M6 motorways plus the cities of Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.

Accommodation: A traditional oak framed and tiled canopy porch with an obscure glazed entrance door opens to the welcoming hallway, providing a pleasant introduction to the home with a tiled floor and front facing window providing additional natural light. There is a useful built-in cupboard housing the central heating boiler, and doors leading to the versatile ground floor accommodation and the fitted guest wc.
The standout wow factor of the home is the hugely impressive triple aspect living room which extends to the full depth of the property, with its high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and an A-frame truss, and a focal brick fireplace with an LPG stove set on a quarry tiled hearth. The windows overlook the gardens to the side and rear elevations and a glazed door provides direct outside, plus a timber staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation.
The fitted dining kitchen has an extensive range of base and eye level units with worksurfaces and an inset sink unit set below the rear facing window, space for a dual fuel range stove with a stainless-steel extractor hood over and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and washing machine. There are exposed beams and space for additional appliances or soft seating depending on your household’s needs, plus a door to outside entertaining space and gardens.
The two ground floor double bedrooms with their exposed beams share a superior Jack & Jill ensuite shower, which has white modern suite with complementary tiling and a three-suite incorporating a double cubicle with a mixer shower over. The front facing bedroom would make an ideal study or sitting room if preferred.
On the first floor there is a useful study/sitting area having a useful storage cupboard and natural light from the rear facing skylight. A latch door opens to the spacious master bedrooms which has a plethora of exposed timber beams and natural light provided by two skylights which overlook the surrounding countryside, and built-in wardrobes.
