Summary - 5 WATTLES LANE ACTON TRUSSELL STAFFORD ST17 0RE
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious multi-level home with garden, garage and canal views, ideal for growing families.
No onward chain; freehold on large private plot
Set on a generous plot in picturesque Acton Trussell, this substantial detached home offers flexible living across multiple wings and floors. The property’s striking turret, spiral staircase and balcony create a memorable sense of character while large, dual-aspect reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/diner provide excellent space for family life and entertaining. The plot includes a long driveway, parking for several cars and a double garage, plus a big garden with decking, outbuilding and canal-side views.
Internally the layout suits multi-generational living or a family needing separate zones: a huge ground-floor bedroom with ensuite, additional bedrooms and a top-floor kitchen/diner opening to an elevated lounge and balcony. Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating fed by dual boilers and substantial storage. The versatile outbuilding and raised decking with an outdoor kitchen add practical value for hobbies or entertaining.
Buyers should note some important material facts: broadband speeds are slow (approx. 27 Mbps), council tax is in a high band, and a small part of the driveway at the front is owned by the parish council. The first floor was rebuilt in 1999 using concrete construction; walls are filled cavity. The property is chain-free and offered freehold, but the size and complexity of the house mean some updating and ongoing maintenance should be expected.
This home will suit large families, those seeking multi-generational accommodation, or buyers wanting a distinctive countryside residence with scope to modernise and personalise. Its rare plot size and standout features make it a unique offering in a very affluent village setting.
