Property description
Sherwood is a family home in one of the most sought after rural locations, with enviable and far reaching views. Sitting in a plot of approximately 0.8 acres, Sherwood is located in gently rolling countryside, some seven miles north west of the county town of Stafford. Its charm is largely derived from its isolated situation, accessed by winding country lanes. Despite its rural location, the property is within easy reach of the larger settlements of Eccleshall, Market Drayton and Stone with their wealth of urban amenities.
The family home has a modern open planned, one bedroom annexe to the rear. The light and airy accommodation has a self-contained kitchen, walk in wet room and large living space, opening out into the rear garden through large bi-folding doors, not only allowing a huge amount of light into the space but offering wonderful views over the garden.
The principal property has three distinct reception rooms on the ground floor, all of which look out over the large rear garden, a rear hallway and utility room linking it to the smart annexe. The hallway leads into the good sized kitchen with oil fired AGA and breakfast counter along with a good range of matching wall and base units. There is a lean to conservatory at the front of the property, a very bright, south facing room with wonderful views.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, the larger master bedroom at the front of the property with simply wonderful views. The master bedroom also has a smart en-suite shower room while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed bathroom to the rear of the property. A recessed staircase off the landing rises to a good sized attic room with roof lights lighting the useful space.
Externally there is a large hard surfaced driveway with parking for a number of vehicles. The property sits in a large plot extending to approx. 0.8 acres, a mix of lawned area and paddock with attractive pool sitting in a more natural area of the plot.
The property has been a wonderful family home and as such may benefit from some cosmetic updating throughout. The property has huge potential thanks to its fabulous location and should continue to be a welcoming family home for generations to come.
