Outside the cottage enjoys a rear gravel garden area, with grass to the side and pretty front garden, along with a large single garage.
One can’t help but pause and ponder the name Barford It was the first question that fluttered through our minds as we arrived at this charming little cottage, nestled like a wren in the hedgerows of a much loved lane in Eccleshall, Cross Butts. The answer is delightfully simple: Barley Ford, a crossing where barley once grew in golden swathes, rippling like feathers in the breeze. It’s easy to imagine that, in days gone by, this very spot was surrounded by open fields and birdsong, with swallows skimming low and larks rising above the barley fields that gave Barford its name.
Step through the gate and you’ll instantly feel that Barford welcomes you with a cottage style feeling, the pretty front garden bursting with colour, an eclectic mix of flowers where butterflies hover and the warm scent of summer lingers in the air. As you reach the front door, there's a sense that this home has been quietly waiting for you.
Inside, shed your coat and shoes and follow the soft, natural flow of this lovely home. To your left, you’ll discover a generous double bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes and ample space for your treasured furnishings—a peaceful perch to rest and nest. On the right, the lounge/diner glows with natural light from a large front window, while a log-burning stove promises cosy evenings as the leaves begin to fall and the robins start to sing.
From here, you step into a charming galley kitchen, where country character and modern function live in harmony. Wooden worktops, a Belfast sink, open shelving, and rustic cabinetry create a warm, homely space, perfect for preparing supper with a loved one or guests. Just off the kitchen, a contemporary shower room offers a refreshing contrast, fitted with stylish features including a crittall-style screen, vanity unit with sink inset, towel rail, W.C and soft, muted tones.
The conservatory-style vestibule, cleverly designed for extra storage, feels like a hidden nook you might find in a storybook cottage. This handy passageway leads you into a large single garage, ideal for private parking, hobbies, or perhaps with the right planning permissions, a future extension. Maybe an additional bedroom? A creative studio? Or perhaps, like the blackbird’s nest, it’s already perfect just the way it is.
Outdoors, the charm continues. The front garden brims with blooms, while a quaint picket gate guides you around to a lawned area and a tucked-away gravelled space behind the home. Here, there’s room to hang your washing in the breeze, sip tea with a friend, or let your four-legged companion potter peacefully under the sun.
Whether you're taking flight from your first nest, or seeking to downsize to a gentler pace of life, Barford is a delightful little find. A cosy, characterful cottage with a heart as warm as a summer's afternoon, and like the best countryside secrets, it won’t stay hidden for long. Call our office today and come see it for yourself.
