Stoke On Trent England

WE LIVE IN A SEMI RURAL VILLAGE 'HARRISEAHEAD' VERY CLOSE TO THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE, SOUTH CHESHIRE BORDER. IT IS A VERY FRIENDLY QUIET PLACE WITH A LOVELY LOCAL PUB AND GREAT WALKS FROM THE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE IS DETACHED AND SET IN 3 ACRES WHICH IS WHERE OUR GREAT DANE CROSS 'HANK' LOVES TO PLAY. WE ARE SET ON A HILL OVERLOOKING THE CHESHIRE PLAINS WITH VIEWS OVER TO THE WELSH HILLS AND UP TO THE MOW COP FOLLY. THE PROPERTY IS VERY SECURE WITH ELECTRIC GATES, CCTV AND IS FULLY FENCED.
THERE ARE SHOPS AND A FEW PUBS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND A FEW SMALL TOWNS WITHIN 10 /15 MINUTES DRIVE FOR SUPERMARKETS, BANKS ETC. WE ARE CLOSE TO SOME VERY GOOD RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY PUBS WHICH WE CAN RECOMMEND.
HANK OUR DOG IS A BIG SOFTY HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES PEOPLE AND SPENDING TIME BEING FUSSED. HE IS VERY WELL BEHAVED HE DOESN'T BEG FOR FOOD AND IS A VERY EASY DOG TO LOOK AFTER. AS HE IS A LARGE DOG HE ONLY NEEDS A COUPLE OF LAPS, OFF LEAD, OF THE FIELD AND A BIT OF BALL PLAY AROUND 20-25 MINS IN TOTAL 3 TIMES A DAY AND A QUICK OUTING BEFORE BED. ALTHOUGH DURING WINTER HE DOES NEED DRYING OFF AFTER HE'S BEEN RUNNING AROUND THE FIELD. WE TAKE HIM INTO THE GARAGE AND DRY HIM OFF IN THERE AS HE CAN GET QUITE MUDDY!
WE ALSO HAVE 2 RESCUE CATS BOTH OF WHICH ARE MAINLY INDOOR CATS AND ARE QUITE TIMID AT FIRST. WE HAVE TINKERBELL WHO IS QUITE ALOOF AND DOESN'T REALLY LIKE TO BE PICKED UP OR FUSSED, WE ALSO HAVE WILSON WHO IS THE MOST TIMID, AGAIN SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO BE PICKED UP BUT ENJOYS A FUSS ONCE SHE GETS TO KNOW YOU. THE CATS ARE HAPPY LIVING TOGETHER AND HAVE THEIR OWN BEDROOM. THEY WOULD JUST NEED FEEDING 3/4 TIMES PER DAY AND THE LITTER TRAY CLEANING OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY. WE WOULD NOT WANT THEM GOING OUTSIDE BECAUSE AS THEY ARE TIMID THEY ARE EASILY FRIGHTENED AND SO CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET BACK INTO THE HOUSE. THE DOG DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CATS! HE IS DEFINITELY NOT CAT FRIENDLY AND TINKERBELL IS NOT DOG FRIENDLY, SO WE MAKE SURE WE KEEP THEM SEPARATE AT ALL TIMES.
FOR STAYS DURING SUMMER WE HAVE LAWNS BACK AND FRONT BUT THESE WOULD BE CUT THE DAY BEFORE WE LEAVE, OBVIOUSLY DURING THE WINTER TIME THERE WOULD NOT BE A NEED FOR ANY OUTSIDE MAINTENANCE. WE HAVE JUST A FEW INDOOR PLANTS WHICH AGAIN WE WOULD WATER BEFORE LEAVING.
THE HOUSE IS FULLY DOUBLE GLAZED, IT HAS GAS CENTRAL HEATING AND A LOG BURNER, 2 BATHROOMS AND A DOWNSTAIRS LOO
THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING SPACE TO THE REAR OF THE HOUSE.
