Summary - OAK HOUSE, SHUT LANE HEAD, NEWCASTLE, BUTTERTON ST5 4DS
Five reception rooms and separate gym with vaulted ceiling
Oak House is presented as a substantial, characterful detached home in an exclusive north Staffordshire hamlet. The house combines listed-style period features—exposed timber, oak beams and a gallery landing—with large modern living spaces, including a bespoke open-plan kitchen (2014) and five reception rooms suited to family life and entertaining. The plot is very large with gated gravel drive, double garage, large brick store and gardens backing onto open farmland for privacy and countryside views.
Practical strengths include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, multiple reception rooms adaptable to home office or hobbies, a separate gym space with vaulted ceiling, and a layout that delivers true indoor–outdoor living via bi-fold doors and several patios. The house has been modernised (major works 1996; extension 2014) and benefits from double glazing installed since 2002 and mixed heating options including air-source heat pump and underfloor heating.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: drainage is to a private septic tank, and there is conflicting information about the age of construction (property described as c.400 years old, while records also reference a 1967–75 build period) — prospective purchasers should verify historic/ title details. The property sits in a remoter, very affluent rural community with a couple of nearby neighbours and is served by a moderate Council Tax band D. Commuting is feasible but the location remains rural, so consider transport needs for daily travel.
