Step aside, Lady Whistledown; there’s a new scandal to report on, and it concerns a rather charming residence tucked away peacefully on Longton Road in Trentham. Welcome to a most intriguing six-bedroom period cottage, built in the 1800s and set within a sizeable 0.37-acre plot; this character-filled home enjoys a sought-after location within direct walking distance of Trentham Gardens and offers stunning views of the golf course to the rear.
