Located on School Lane in the village of Dunston, this three-bedroom detached property is being sold with no upward chain and is on the market with estate agents Caley & Kulin.

It is brimming with period features, including exposed timber ceiling beams, handcrafted wooden doors, and a bespoke farmhouse-style kitchen — all combining to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects its rural heritage.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area is the heart of the home. With farmhouse styling, it has exposed brick all around and that all-important AGA oven that is the pinnacle of any countryside cottage home. 

From the kitchen there is easy access to a separate utility room and guest WC, catering well to modern family life. 

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms all with beautiful views of the surrounding greenery and plenty of space for storage. 

There is also a shared family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath - a nod to the property's traditional charm.

The garden is perfect for those who like a bit of peace and quiet in the outdoors, or dining al fresco on the patio and is just as charming as the rest of the house.

The home sits on a substantial plot with mature gardens and a spacious driveway, providing ample parking and access to a large garage.

Dunston, known for its tranquil countryside setting, also boasts excellent transport links. The M6 motorway is just minutes away, while Stafford town centre and its mainline train station — offering direct routes to Birmingham and London — are a short drive from the property.
