Five bedrooms including principal with en suite
A stylish five-bedroom barn conversion set in a peaceful hamlet with far-reaching countryside views. The property combines original character—exposed beams on the upper floor and brick elevations—with a contemporary, well-equipped dining kitchen and a bright dual-aspect lounge. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite, and two further double bedrooms occupy the second floor.
This home sits on a large, private garden and includes three designated off-street parking spaces accessed from a shared courtyard. Practical points: heating is by LPG-fired boiler to radiators, drainage is to a private shared system, and the EPC rating is D. There is an annual communal charge of about £360 for shared area upkeep.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: broadband speeds are very slow in this location, two top-floor bedrooms have restricted roof height, and a recent planning application for a kitchen extension was refused. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and LPG heating will typically cost more than mains gas.
This barn will suit a family seeking rural living with good nearby transport links (M6 access and Stafford station) and high-performing local schools, or buyers wanting a character home ready to occupy with some scope for internal updating. Buyers who need fast broadband or want to extend should check technical and planning constraints early.
