Lodge Cottage, Armitage

Lodge Cottage, Rugeley Road, Armitage, WS15 4AT
Parker
Hall
A most individual detached residence in parts
dating back to the 15 th century, having been
sympathetically improved and extended in recent
years by the current vendors of 18 years to create
a stunning family home. Presenting all the benefits
of modern family life twinned with a beautiful
traditional thatched home, Lodge Cottage
presents a wealth of character, charm and history
throughout, boasting exposed beams, original
joinery and quarry tiled floors. The property sits
within an enviable garden plot of 0.75 acres,
backing on to charming woodland and open views
over the surrounding unspoilt countryside. Still
retaining plenty of further potential, and even the
option to build a separate dwelling on the plot
(subject to necessary planning permission), the
existing accommodation is ideal to convert into a
ground floor self contained annexe serviced by a
kitchenette and cloakroom/shower room, should
one be required. In addition, a detached garage
with office space above provides an excellent
opportunity for those wanting to work from home
or have the facility of a home gym. The property
benefits from full gas central heating and offers
2711 sq ft of versatile accommodation.
