Description

Greystoke Cottage is a charming, period property with much history attached and was, at one time, a public house. Whilst the house has been well maintained over the years it would now benefit from a gentle scheme of refurbishment.

The property has been extended over the years to create a well proportioned family residence with flexible accommodation over two floors with the potential for a ground floor bedroom suite or annex should buyers so wish.

The house stands within glorious grounds with sweeping lawns, beds and borders and charming views over adjoining South Staffordshire countryside. There is a total area of just over 0.5 acres.
