Locality - Wootton, a quaint Staffordshire village situated within a designated conservation area, lies approximately 4 miles to the west of Ashbourne, positioned halfway between Ashbourne and Alton. Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of the nearby Weaver Hills, Wootton offers unparalleled access to the stunning rural landscapes of the Peak District, ideal for scenic walks and cycling adventures. Daltons ice cream is a popular attraction on the edge of the village. Nearby, the charming village of Denstone beckons with its renowned Denstone Farm Shop, a haven for sourcing local fresh produce, accompanied by inviting tea rooms and a delightful home shop. Just a stone's throw away, the village of Ellastone boasts a vibrant community hub featuring a village hall, tennis court, and park, while the acclaimed Duncombe Arms garners praise for its exceptional culinary offerings. For commuters, the nearest railway station can be found in Uttoxeter, approximately eight miles from Wootton, facilitating convenient travel connections. Adding to its allure, the beloved Alton Towers theme park sits a mere five miles distant, promising endless excitement and entertainment for all ages.

Owner's perspective - "Living in Wootton has been an absolute privilege, I certainly didn’t expect to find myself hurtling down from the top of the Weaver Hills in a homemade go-kart just a few months after moving in! The annual go-kart race is a brilliant, fun-filled event that raises money for charity, with the whole village coming together to cheer on the competitors. From the summit of the Weaver Hills, the views are simply spectacular on a clear day, you can see as far as the Welsh mountains and across seven counties. Just a short stroll away (next to the quintessential village cricket club) is another local gem, Dalton’s Dairy, renowned for its delicious ice cream, the perfect treat on a summer afternoon or evening. Although Wootton is surrounded by beautiful countryside, it’s also surprisingly well connected. Even ultrafast broadband is available, making it ideal for modern living. Within a 15–20 minute drive, you can reach four different market towns (Ashbourne, Leek, Uttoxeter & Cheadle) offering every major supermarket alongside a wide variety of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Although Wooton doesn’t suffer any disruption from Alton Towers, it is close enough that we receive 20 free annual entry tickets to the renowned Alton Towers Theme Park, a much appreciated perk. (*this offer can be withdrawn at any time).
Over the last four years, many aspects of the Sycamores have been thoughtfully upgraded, not least the south-facing garden that is best enjoyed from the large patio, a perfect space for entertaining or simply relaxing. The space in the house lends itself to multiple uses, with two lounges, and both downstairs and upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms, while the double garage with its apex room above, further adds to the potential. What truly makes Wootton special, though, is its community. It has a wonderfully friendly, welcoming atmosphere where people know each other by name and are always ready to lend a hand. It’s a place where you can enjoy the peace of rural life without sacrificing the convenience of nearby amenities. I often reflect on how fortunate I’ve been to call Wootton home."
