Looking for a property with genuine potential in a beautiful semi-rural setting? Tucked away on the popular Washerwall Lane, Werrington, this two-bedroom detached cottage is heading to auction, offering its next owner the opportunity to breathe new life into a truly individual home.

Having been cherished by the same family for many, many years, properties like this rarely come to market. With neighbouring fields, cattle grazing nearby and the village green with its own historic well right on the doorstep, this is a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find – space, character and a wonderful sense of place.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and currently comprises a lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, rear porch and WC to the ground floor, with two double bedrooms to the first floor.

Outside, the property can be accessed and enjoyed around its entire perimeter, with a low-maintenance garden to the side overlooking a neighbouring field where cattle can often be seen grazing. To the rear is a large garage with its own workshop, together with a driveway providing parking for one or two vehicles.

This isn't simply another renovation project – it's a chance to take a property with a fascinating history and create something truly special.

One of the property's biggest attractions is its enviable position. Step outside and you're immediately surrounded by the character of Werrington, with open fields, grazing cattle and the local green and well all adding to its unique appeal.

Yet despite its semi-rural feel, you're still just minutes' walk from major bus routes, local amenities and a GP surgery. Hanley, Leek, Cheadle and surrounding areas are all within easy driving distance, whilst Stoke-on-Trent railway station provides excellent connections towards Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and beyond.

Whether you're looking for a property to restore, a home to put your own stamp on or simply want the opportunity to own something genuinely different, this detached Werrington cottage demands your attention.

Guide Price
An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Reserve
The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Proof of Identity
To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, on acceptance of an offer for purchase or letting, the buyer or prospective tenant will be required to provide identification to Butters John Bee. Where a property is due to go to auction, all bidders will be required to register prior to auction
