Vendor Interview

“It was the village location which first attracted us to our home here at Hillcrest, ” say the current owners of this charming Staffordshire property. Hillcrest is situated in the sought after village of Denstone, which boasts its own primary school as well as the renowned Denstone College, and an award winning farm shop and pub restaurant. “The village has much to offer, ” the owners continue, “from a bowling green to floodlit tennis courts, as well as the picturesque walking and cycling trials into Alton along the old railway line.”

Also within easy commuting distance are the Thomas Alleynes High School in Uttoxeter and Queen Elizabeth grammar school in Ashbourne. The location is ideal for access to the A50 with links to the M1 and M6, as well as being within easy distance of the East Midlands airport. The market towns of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne are nearby, as are Stafford and Derby. The National Trust property of Dimmingsdale is within easy reach, with both the gateway for the Peak District National Park and the resort of Alton Towers also within close proximity.

The house itself has been much improved by the current owners, including the extension to incorporate a third bedroom. “We also landscaped the gardens to provide seating areas to make the most of the early morning and midday sun, ” say the owners, “we now often sit out on the veranda or patio for coffee or al fresco dining. In addition, we have built a car port and oak porch, greatly improving the look of the front of the property.” The house is well presented both inside and out, and offers the potential for further extension should the new owners wish.

“We love the veranda outside the kitchen where we drink coffee all year round. It feels like part of both the kitchen and garden, bringing the indoor and outdoor spaces together.”

“The south facing gardens and patio are bathed in sun all day, while the veranda where we enjoy our morning coffee gets the early rays.”

“We will miss ambience of the house and gardens, which have the feeling of being in the middle of a field with all the birds.”

“The kitchen flows easily into the dining room and veranda, offering plenty of possibility for entertaining family and friends.”
