Property description

**AN INDULGENT RENOVATION OF A BEAUTIFUL PERIOD FIVE BEDROOM FARMHOUSE SET WITHIN LAND EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.8 ACRES. BEAUTIFUL UNBROKEN VIEWS OVER FIELDS TO REAR**
Reception hall, cloakroom, sitting room with multi fuel stove, dining room, large family dining kitchen and utility. Basement with family/games room and study. First floor with four double bedrooms, luxurious family bathroom and two en suite shower rooms. Second floor master suite: principal bedroom with \"boutique hotel style\" bathroom. Double garage. Enclosed landscaped gardens. TWO SEPARATE PADDOCKS EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.7 ACRES SEPARATED BY A GATED FENCE. (Paddocks can be included or excluded from rental).
This distinctive renovation of a striking period farmhouse was undertaken by a specialist local independent builder who has subtly incorporated its inherent features such as stone mullion windows, corner stones and intricate chimney, with sophistication such as network data points throughout, underfloor heating, an integrated audio system, highly specified dining kitchen and luxuriously appointed bathrooms and en suites complete with quality sanitary ware and Travertine tiling.

Why you'll like it…
Marsh Green Farm nestles within a cluster of four barn conversions, in the preferred Gillow Heath area on the outskirts of Biddulph, with the award winning National Trust Biddulph Grange Gardens close by. Open countryside is just a few minutes walk away delivering you to some of Staffordshire's most enjoyed natural views and rural walks, yet extremely convenient for access to Biddulph, one mile south, and Congleton, five miles north, which offers links with the main M6 arterial routes, and mainline national rail networks.

Through the front door you pass through the grand reception hall, with winding staircase to two flights to the upper floors. Doorways off the hall lead in turn to the cloakroom, the main sitting room featuring a solid fuel stove and double oak doors which open into the formal dining room which enjoys a lovely aspect over the rear landscaped gardens. A door from the main sitting room with stairs down to what were originally the cellars which have been cleverly upgraded to two useable rooms, one suited as a family/games room and a separate study off.

Why we like this……the main \"heart\" of the house has to be the open plan modern and well equipped kitchen with plenty of space for a decent sized dining table and which takes advantage of lovely open views over the rear gardens. This superb living space is what families yearn for!

Completing the ground floor is the utility - useful, and discreetly tucked away, with a door into the large attached DOUBLE GARAGE with underfloor heating.

Bedrooms and bathrooms….A galleried landing to the first floor, delivers you to four of the five bedrooms, all of which are huge doubles, two with their own en suite shower rooms, and the main luxurious family bathroom with four piece suite and separate shower.

The pinnacle floor, again does not disappoint - a magnificent Master Suite spanning the full width of the top floor and in total measuring some 31' in length with \"his and hers\" walk in wardrobes, and a wonderful bathing area incorporating a substantial shower room with Travertine seating and elaborate showers, as well as a 5'9\" octagonal bath.

Outside….this you have to see! The private gardens are landscaped and manageable with lawns and discreet sitting out areas, enjoying quite magnificent views over adjoining fields.

Beyond is the GRAZING LAND/PADDOCK with natural water supply and gated lane access. The property stands in 1.8 acres, in total.

The town of Biddulph offers a good selection of pubs, restaurants and fitness centres, whilst still having a variety of outdoor pursuits including scenic walks in Staffordshire and the Peak District National Park. The town centre boasts Sainsburys, butchers, florists and newsagents as well as essential services such as chemists, doctors and dentists.
