An extremely rare opportunity to acquire such a wonderful, charming property in a fantastic rural location, set back from the lane beyond a large drive with two sets of remote control electric gates. These open directly to the house and also to the courtyard that has an unspoilt range of traditional buildings including a stable block having five stables plus a tack room, in addition to modern agricultural buildings that face the fields. The grounds and fields extend in all to approximately 27 acres and include a ménage. The house would appeal to equestrian enthusiasts or buyers that require a rural retreat.
The location, whilst idyllic, is also ideal for commuters and modern day life with the thriving town of Eccleshall approx. 3.1 miles away that has classy bars, shops and restaurant pubs. The county town of Stafford (approx. 9.5 miles) offers a wider range of amenities including a railway station with regular services to London Euston, taking approx. one hour and twenty minutes. Birmingham Airport is around 48 miles away and Manchester Airport 50 miles. Junction 14 of the M6, around 6 miles away, provides direct links into the national motorway and M6 Toll.
