The Fold, Stone Rural

If homes were flowers in a country garden, this delightful three-bedroom cottage in Oulton would be the brightest pick of the bunch. Set in one of Stone’s most sought-after locations, this lovely cottage is less ‘wallflower’ and more ‘table centre’. Brimming with character and warmth, the property is now ready for a full programme of refurbishment, offering buyers the chance to transform it into a truly wonderful home, all being offered for sale with no upwards chain!
Step inside to a generously sized entrance hall, guiding you firstly into the living room where you’ll discover a warm feature fire surround, traditional coves and dual-aspect windows overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen is currently set in an L-shape with room for appliances and cabinetry space and leads into the dining room, boasting an additional fire surround and access to the rear garden; it has the potential to be reimagined into an open-plan kitchen/diner (STNPP).
Upstairs is home to three generously sized bedrooms, including two bright doubles and a further spacious single with fitted storage, ideal for growing families, those who entertain guests, or simply an office or dressing room. The bathroom houses a bath, sink, W/C, and its own storage space.
Outside boasts a stunning and beautifully maintained South-West facing rear garden with patio seating space, lush grass lawns and borders that are perfect for planting. On road parking is available to the front of the property.
