Welcome to Black & White Cottage – where history isn’t just black and white, but charmingly timber-framed and delightfully quirky. If these walls could talk, they’d probably whisper tales from the 17th century and boast about how well they've aged. This Grade II listed detached cottage, dating back to the late 1500s, is brimming with period character, featuring a handsome timber frame and a colour-washed brick exterior that oozes rustic charm.

Tucked away in the heart of Brocton—one of Staffordshire’s most sought-after villages—this gem sits beside the breathtaking Cannock Chase, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Fancy a round of golf? You’ll also find a prestigious 18-hole course nearby, just in case you prefer your green space neatly trimmed. And when you need a dose of urban buzz, the county town of Stafford is only a short drive away, offering shops, amenities, and a railway station with regular high-speed services to London Euston.

Inside, the home doesn’t disappoint. There’s a formal sitting room with classic parquet flooring, exposed beams, and an inglenook fireplace complete with a log-burning stove—perfect for feasts or very cosy dinners. The open-plan living room continues the warm and characterful vibe, boasting wooden floors, another log burner, vaulted ceilings with skylights, and French doors opening out to the garden.

Need more? There’s a dining room again full of character, a bright and functional kitchen, a separate utility room with a stable door, and a guest WC.

Upstairs, a charming split-level landing leads to three double bedrooms. Two feature vaulted ceilings and beautiful exposed beams, while Bedroom Two adds a touch of rustic drama with its exposed brick chimney breast. A spacious family bathroom completes the upper floor.

Outside, the landscaped garden is made for al fresco dining or lazy afternoons. The detached double garage comes with a workshop at the rear and a driveway with ample parking.
