4 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Podmore, Near Eccleshall, Staffordshire ST21 | £ 599,950

Property Description

A substantial family home sitting in a plot totalling approximately 3.5 acres, Podmore House is in one of the prettiest spots in rural Staffordshire, surrounded by gently rolling farmland. The peaceful hamlet is within easy reach of the wider transport network with the M6 motorway a short distance away and the towns of Stoke and Stafford both providing regular intercity connections to London, Birmingham and Manchester.

The traditional Staffordshire red brick farm house has spacious accommodation with a large farmhouse kitchen and scullery, formal drawing room and more intimate sitting room on the ground floor. There are four bedrooms on the first floor all of which are well proportioned double bedrooms.

The attic consists of three large rooms which are reached from a staircase rising from the rear of the first-floor landing. On the ground-floor there is a large store room off the rear hallway with a large play room or home office over. There are two cellar rooms underneath, both with brick arched roofs.

Externally there are two garages attached to the main dwelling and a former piggery which enclosed a rear courtyard. Both the garages and piggery have potential to be used as ancillary accommodation, dependent on achieving the relevant permissions.

There are three distinct areas of paddock surrounding the property, totalling approximately 3 acres, the upper and lower paddock having gated access from the lane, the smaller orchard being accessed from the driveway.

The property would benefit from some cosmetic improvements, providing the purchaser the opportunity to update to their own taste.
