A Charming Grade II Listed Cottage with Modern Twist – In The Stunning Aston Village
Dating back to 1690, this enchanting Grade II listed cottage in the highly desirable village of Aston is brimming with character and charm, yet cleverly enhanced with a stylish modern extension to the rear. The result is a home that beautifully blends period features with contemporary living, all in a location that feels tucked away, yet is perfectly placed for access to Crewe, Market Drayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Stafford, with its mainline railway station offering a direct route to London in around 90 minutes. For those who love the outdoors, the nearby Mear Woods provide stunning walks right on the doorstep.
Step inside and you’re immediately struck by the history of the home. The dining room is a showstopper, complete with a magnificent original inglenook fireplace housing a large cast iron wood burner, flagstone flooring, and exposed oak beams that whisper stories of centuries past. There’s also a cosy snug — equally suited as an office, reading nook, or even a potential fourth bedroom — along with a spacious living room, ideal for relaxing evenings in.
To the rear, the contemporary extension transforms the living space with a guest W.C and a breath-taking open-plan family dining kitchen. Here, shaker-style units are topped with sleek quartz work surfaces, complemented by built-in appliances and a classic range cooker. A vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams adds drama and warmth, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the composite decked seating area and private garden — creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that’s perfect for entertaining.
Upstairs, you’ll find three double bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room.
Outside, the gardens are a delight. The private rear garden is beautifully maintained and laid mainly to lawn with raised beds, all centred around a large composite decked seating area. Adding to the magic is a fabulous shepherd’s hut — affectionately described as looking like a hobbit’s hideaway — with power, lighting, and a central fire and grilling area. Big enough to seat at least 10, it’s the ultimate space for gathering with friends, cooking, and relaxing late into the evening. The property is further enhanced by a gravel driveway providing ample parking, a detached double garage with electric car charging point, and a brick-built garden store.
Combining 17th-century heritage, thoughtful modern living, and unique outdoor features, this is a home that truly stands out — all in a village setting that’s as convenient as it is charming.
