Property Description

Steeped in history and character (originally believed to be the gatehouse to the Swynnerton Estate and known as Brook Cottages) this magnificent house deserved internal inspection to appreciate the many outstanding features which abound within. Set in near total privacy in extensive grounds to all sides, the property enjoys the benefits of rural living offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion and a bridge over its own stream! Approached via electrically operated gates with video and audio remote control, the driveway leads to a substantial vehicle parking and hardstanding area with further wide parking and hardstanding on the other side of the bridge, where there is also an integral garage and separate timber double garage. Gardens further extend to the side and rear where there is a double stable block and pony paddock with post and rail fencing and including full electrics and water. There are upper and lower sitting out areas, one being formed from a bailing trailer with a log fire burner and views over the adjacent fields. No other property overlooks this house and yet this is literally just off the A519 Newcastle to Eccleshall Road and just a couple of minutes drive from Junction 15 of the M6. The centres of Newcastle and The Potteries towns are within easy reach. Many pleasant country walks and bridleways are on the doorstep and within a few minutes walk include Trentham Gardens, the Trentham golf course and the Poachers Cottage pub just 15 minutes walk through the golf course. Inside the property is no less impressive with generous room sizes throughout, combining the appeal of a 200 year old house with a layout which feels contemporary. There are six main bedrooms, the master having an en-suite full bathroom and bedrooms two and three also having en-suite shower rooms.
