Set in a peaceful hamlet, Beech Farm Cottage is a substantial former farmhouse that will suit a large or multi-generational family seeking rural space and privacy. The house offers over 3,000 sq ft across multiple floors, with three reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/dining area, six bedrooms and extensive lawned gardens extending to approximately 0.75 acres. Wide views across adjoining farmland and mature boundaries give the plot a secluded, country feel.
The accommodation is described as being in good order yet offers clear scope for owners to modernise or reconfigure to personal taste. Notable practical features include LPG-powered AGA, oil-fired boiler heating with radiators, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for working from home. There is generous off-street parking and a large frontage suitable for turning several vehicles. The property is offered freehold and chain free.
Buyers should be aware of several material items: the property has a private drainage system for which no warranty is provided and any investigations must be undertaken by the purchaser. The house was constructed between 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and may require upgrading for modern energy efficiency. Heating is oil-fired with LPG for the AGA, so running costs and future fuel arrangements should be considered. Council Tax is band G and therefore expensive compared with average domestic bands.
This home will appeal to families prioritising space, countryside views and strong transport links — approximately five minutes’ drive to M6 Jct 15, and within commuting distance of Stone, Stafford and The Potteries. While substantial and comfortable now, the cottage also presents a practical renovation opportunity for buyers wanting to improve energy performance and add contemporary kitchen/bathroom fittings.
