Fielden House is an exceptional Victorian country residence set on about 2.67 acres at the edge of Stowe-by-Chartley. Recently refurbished to a high standard, the house combines period character — stained glass, deep skirting, high ceilings — with modern upgrades including Crittall-style windows, a full three-phase rewire and high-spec kitchen and bathrooms. The principal suite, large reception rooms and generous circulation spaces deliver a hotel-like living experience for family life and entertaining.
The estate includes substantial outbuildings: a converted one-bedroom coach house annex, an oak-framed quadruple garage and a 1,600+ sq ft entertainment suite with underfloor heating, kitchen and shower facilities. That suite is a versatile, all-year space currently used for socialising but capable of alternative uses (indoor pool, studio or formal leisure space) subject to consents.
Practical strengths include mains services, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, extensive off-street parking and low local crime. The plot offers formal lawns, specimen planting, a south-facing terrace and a fenced paddock — attractive for equestrian or amenity uses. Stafford and local villages provide schooling, shops and transport links; regional motorways and mainline stations are reachable by car.
Notable negatives are the property’s scale and running costs: council tax is described as quite expensive, and maintenance for a large historic house and estate will be significant. The location is hamlet/isolated, so daily services require driving. Any change of use or major conversion of the entertainment suite would require planning checks.
