Cottage
A beautiful thatched cottage believed to date back to the 1600s, occupying a fantastic position in the village of Alrewas with wonderful rear gardens running down to the canal. Alrewas is a well-served village with several public houses, Co-Op village store, butchers, church, Primary School, doctors and pharmacy together with excellent access to the A38 and A50 providing links to the nearby cities of Lichfield, Burton on Trent, Birmingham, Derby and beyond.
A front entrance door opens into the reception hall with a door leading onto a superb characterful lounge with a beamed ceiling and superb inglenook fireplace. There are dual aspect windows and open plan access to the dining room that has an under stairs storage cupboard and window to the side.

It has a large paved terrace and a long shaped lawn with established and abundantly stocked display borders, running down to the canal frontage where there is a further paved terrace, perfect to sit and watch the barges go by on summer afternoons.
