This stunning country house looks out over unspoilt countryside and has the added benefit of an annexe to one side of the lawn, which has two bedrooms and could be used to a dependant relative or staff.
Lawned gardens extend to the west side of the driveway, where there is also a summer house with a store shed to the rear, and a paddock.
Additional outbuildings include a Coach House, which includes a three-car garage, stable and woodshed - this has been completely refurbished in the last few months.
In total, the gardens extend to around 2.15 acres.
The house has an easy flow of rooms ideal for everyday living and entertaining with the reception hall (above) providing the heart of the house with its inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove.
Many of the beams are exposed and are complimented internally by a mixture of tiled floors in the galleried reception hall and exposed polished oak floors in the remaining reception rooms.
The staircase and galleried landing having been hand carved of oak, overlooks the reception hall with a large window framing the southerly views over Staffordshire countryside.
The traditional farmhouse-style kitchen is well fitted with a two door Sandyford boiler and cooker.
The dining room is an elegant room located in the oldest part of the house with exposed beams and polished oak floors.
The oldest part of the property provides the core of the house and dictates the character, which has been sympethetically restored by the present owners.
The drawing room has half panelled walls and a well designed fireplace.
Upstairs, the four/five bedrooms all have individual character with exposed studs and beams, storage space and outstanding views.
The master bedroom is particularly spacious with a dressing area and en suite bathroom.
The house is for sale with a guide price of £675,000 through Savills on 01952 239 500.
