From wreck to high-spec: Renovated manor is yours... for £1.5 million

This country manor with six bedrooms and its own seven acres of land and croquet lawn is on the market at a price of £1.5 million.

Nestled in the quiet countryside of Church Eaton, near Stafford, High Onn Manor has been refurbished and modernised and is now oozing luxury.

Set in approximately seven acres of land, the property is described as a 'delightful family residence with a secluded outlook and feel that offers rural living but with the some of the most up-to-date technology available'.

Accessed through a private, gated entrance, this exclusive property comprises of six double bedrooms and four bathrooms including a master and a guest suite.

There's a large formal dining room, a formal lounge, a family room, a dining kitchen, a study, a billiard room, a utility, butler's pantry – and even a gun room.

Micheal Eld, sales manager for Dixon and Co estate agents who are dealing with the sale, said: "It's a family home. It's incredibly spacious inside. All the bedrooms are unusually large.

"I think it would definitely suit someone in the equestrian market.

"The other thing about it, is despite is size and scale it's an eco home.

"There's two solar arrays on the property, and the heating system is a solar powered wax-containing heat store which you don't see on the market very often.

"These really do keep the running costs down for a property of this size and scale.

"It's incredibly grand inside, there are substantial outbuildings and the list just goes on and on.

"It's one of the finest buildings I've seen in a long time."

The current owners of the property purchased the company back in 2010 in a dilapidated condition but have worked to return it to its former glory.

Despite its rural location, the building is situated just six miles away from Stafford, Penkridge and Newport and is close to the Shropshire border.

The residence also benefits from easy access to the national motorway networks via Junction 12 of the M6 (A5 at Gailey).
