Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Stafford, ST19 :
Detached 4/5 bedroom country property dating back to early Georgian time with later additions * Edge of historical village of Bishops Wood * Close to popular primary schools of both sectors * Large level plot extending to almost 5 acres * Far reaching pastoral views in all directions * Semi open plan reception area incorporating lounge, dining room, games room and a huge 40’ plus conservatory * Boot room/laundry * Large uPVC porch * Lovely recently fitted kitchen /breakfast room * Utility room * Cloakroom * Study * 5th bedroom/family room * Master suite with dressing room and ensuite shower room * Guest room with ensuite shower room * 2 further upstairs double bedrooms * Family bathroom * Superb 4 car garage with potential for conversion to a separate dwelling (subject to planning permission) * Lovely old brick stable with two loose boxes * Property has particularly large footprint which offers purchasers considerable scope for extending at first floor level and reconfiguring existing accommodation if required * Garden of almost two acres * Large green house and enormous carport * 3 acre field * Property particularly suitable as small holding or equestrian purposes * Fabulous view over surrounding farmland * UPVC windows * Oil fired central heating
Dating back to 1780 and originally part of the Bradford Estate - right up until the 1990’s, (there are only 4 names on the deeds!), the old farmhouse is is accessed off the country lane between Tong and Bishops Wood via a ubiquitous five bar gate. The view down the long brick paved drive with huge areas of lawn on both sides, a row of sycamores and neat shrubbery, is extremely attractive and well presented. It is evident that this was once a working farmhouse from the expanse of hardstanding and the large garage and the stable (the only outbuildings remaining with the property), but mainly because it still retains that farmyard feeling. The house sits sideways on to the approach with the large conservatory and many of the windows facing over the front in a Southerly direction towards the large paddock and beyond. Having the main terrace here, makes for a super relaxing area, perfect for entertaining during the summer. The views towards the East from the breakfast kitchen and the kitchen garden and terrace are also particularly noteworthy. With the land behind falling away slightly, the outlook over rolling pastureland as far as a distant horizon is quite spectacular. An enormous conservatory, with a partition midway for convenience of use forms an integral part of the house, with the central dining hall with large fireplace having a large cast iron stove and also the staircase to the first floor providing a a spacious pivotal point from which most of the downstairs accommodation emanates; that said, the delightful breakfast kitchen, recently fitted with tasteful cream Shaker style units and having original oak beams and an oil fired aga, is definitely the hub of the house.
Ease of maintenance has been the protocol with regards the more recent additions, having wood effect laminate flooring and uPVC windows in many areas. There are attractive and characterful internal stripped pine doors throughout with suffolk latches and period fire surrounds with cast iron fireplaces as well as some upstairs exposed purlins that are a reminder of the Georgian origins of the house. The accommodation downstairs is sizable and extremely versatile and has a homely lived- in feel; with the South facing conservatory providing natural heat throughout the house, it is especially welcoming.
