<p>Heywoods Estate Agents are excited to bring to the market this truly distinctive three bedroom detached residence on Leycett Road, Scot Hay, Newcastle-under-Lyme, an iconic and instantly recognisable home occupying a proud corner plot position within this highly appealing semi-rural setting.</p><p>Formerly two individual cottages, the property has been remodelled over the years to create a sizeable and wonderfully individual family home, steeped in charm, character and warmth throughout. Its history remains very much part of its appeal, with an attractive combination of traditional brickwork, rendered elevations, dormer windows and established gardens giving the house a wonderful sense of presence and personality from the moment you arrive.</p><p>Inside, the accommodation is generous, characterful and notably versatile, with a layout that provides plenty of opportunity for a new owner to adapt the space around their own lifestyle. A welcoming entrance hall forms the heart of the home, where exposed timbers, traditional joinery and parquet flooring immediately introduce the character that continues throughout.</p><p>To one side of the ground floor is a particularly spacious and flexible arrangement of two adjoining reception areas, currently utilised as a comfortable lounge with a separate study area. Together, these spaces could equally lend themselves to use as a generous lounge and dining room, providing an excellent setting for both everyday family life and entertaining while retaining a sense of separation between the two areas.</p><p>A further dining room is positioned immediately adjacent to the kitchen and provides another excellent reception space in its current form. Importantly, this part of the house also offers considerable potential for buyers looking to introduce a more open-plan style of living. Subject to the appropriate building works and any necessary consents, the wall between the kitchen and dining room could potentially be removed to create a much larger kitchen and dining space, with windows to more than one aspect helping to create a bright and sociable heart to the home.</p><p>The existing kitchen is arranged in a practical galley style with an extensive range of fitted cabinetry, generous work surfaces and space for informal dining. An adjoining utility area provides valuable additional storage and workspace, while the conservatory to the rear enjoys an attractive outlook across the gardens and provides a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings throughout the seasons. A ground floor shower room adds further practicality.</p><p>Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering excellent floor space and a pleasant dual aspect, while the remaining bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family members, guests or those needing additional home-working space. The first floor is completed by the family bathroom together with useful storage.</p><p>The outside space is a major feature of this individual home. Occupying an extensive corner plot, the property is surrounded by established gardens with generous lawns, mature trees, shrubs, planted borders and traditional stone-edged areas, creating a setting that feels private, established and entirely in keeping with the character of the house. There are numerous places to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the garden, together with a greenhouse and plenty of scope for anyone with a passion for gardening to make the grounds their own.</p><p>The sheer amount of parking, garaging and additional storage is another particularly rare advantage. Two separate driveways serve the property, complemented by two detached double garages and a further detached workshop/store. Whether required for vehicles, hobbies, workshop use, additional storage or simply the convenience of substantial off-road parking, the facilities on offer are exceptional for a residential property of this type.</p><p>Leycett Road enjoys an attractive position within Scot Hay, combining the character and tranquillity of a semi-rural setting with the convenience of remaining within easy reach of Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas. Open countryside lies close at hand, giving the location a genuine rural feel and making it particularly appealing to those who enjoy walking and the outdoors.</p><p>The nearby Scot Hay Cricket Club contributes to the strong sense of local community, while the popular Gresley Arms is just a short walk away and provides a traditional country pub close to home. Silverdale village is only a short drive away and offers a useful range of everyday amenities, with Newcastle-under-Lyme providing a wider selection of shops, services and leisure facilities. Despite its countryside surroundings, the property is also conveniently positioned for nearby commuter links, making it well suited to those looking for semi-rural living without sacrificing accessibility.</p><p>With its fascinating history as two former cottages, generous and adaptable accommodation, extensive corner plot, exceptional garaging and outbuildings and unmistakable sense of warmth and character, this is a genuinely unique family home. Offering considerable scope to enjoy the property exactly as it is or further reconfigure elements of the ground floor, including the potential to create a substantial kitchen and dining space, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Scot Hay's most distinctive homes.</p><br/>EPC Rating: D
