Hidden away at the end of a third of a mile driveway stands this truly delightful detached country home nestled in the countryside between Colton village and Rugeley. Perfect for equestrian use given the extensive paddocks and stabling, the property would also suit anybody looking for a lovely hideaway to escape the stresses and strains of modern day life. At the end of the driveway approach a gated entrance opens into the classic farmhouse courtyard, with the pretty farmhouse linked in a classic horseshoe shape to the stables and outbuildings with a tiled canopy providing perfect dry access. Within its nearly 17 acres of total plot lies around 2 acres of water comprising five separate pools each with distinctive characteristics, either being used by local wildlife, ducks and moorhens, or covered in the most picturesque water lilles and aquatic plants. The charming walks around the pools can be enjoyed at any time, whilst strategically placed seats allow you a moment to sit and enjoy the peaceful bucolic setting. Opportunities to purchase such homes full of character and in such delightful pastoral and rural settings are rare indeed, and an early viewing of this glorious and tranquil family home must be high on any potential purchasers agenda.

FURTHER INFORMATION
PLEASE NOTE: The sellers' advise that the property experienced a flooding incident in February 2020. Caused by excessive stormwater running off the top fields and flowing into the farmyard and subsequently gaining some limited ingress into the property. Since then, significant additional ground and drainage works have been undertaken to redirect the water flow and mitigate future flooding issues by carrying the water past the property into the lower fields. Full plans of the new drainage system and remedial preventative works undertaken are available.
