Property description

White Farm is located in one of the most beautiful and tranquil spots on the border between Staffordshire and Shropshire.

The popular village of Eccleshall which is widely renowned for its variety of independent shops and vibrant community is only 5 miles away, and the county town of Stafford with its mainline railway station is approximately 30 minutes drive away.

White Farm stands in glorious isolation set back half a mile along a private lane between Langot Lane and Bishops Wood and has fabulous views of the surrounding open countryside. The property stands in 8.5 acres of which approximately 6 acres is good level pasture suitable for grazing horses and other livestock. There is an extensive range of outbuildings which date back to the properties former use as a dairy farm but are now being used in connection with the owners equestrian pursuits and for general storage. There is further potential for the buildings to be reused and redevelopment for alternative uses subject to statutory consents being obtained.

The farmhouse is an attractive double fronted building which does require some internal improvement standing in good sized gardens which provide the opportunity for extension without 'over developing' the plot. The front door opens into an Entrance Hall from where a staircase rises to the first floor and doors open to the formal reception rooms which overlook the front of the property. The Sitting Room has a large inglenook fireplace and beamed ceilings which create the basis for a very attractive and comfortable room. The Dining Room is a similarly sized room and has the same potential. A door from the Hall opens to the Kitchen which spans almost the entire width of the property and is a room that can easily accommodate a large table and living space making this a wonderful room both for family living and entertaining. There is a log burning stove fitted within an attractive fireplace and a flagstone floor that suits the character of the room. French doors from the Kitchen open out to an attractive seating area which overlooks the garden. Doors from the Kitchen also open to a Pantry and also to a sizable Utility Room. The Rear Hall adjoins the Kitchen and provides very useful coat and boot storage space and from where a door opens to the smartly fitted Wet Room and W/C. A further door opens to the Conservatory which has been constructed using reclaimed materials and views of the garden and the surrounding countryside.

There are two double bedrooms overlooking the front of the property on the first floor and a further comfortable single room at the rear. The bedrooms are arranged around a large open landing which could be subdivided in order to create a further bedroom or En Suite and has a door to the Bathroom. A staircase from the first floor landing rises to the second floor where there is a Fourth Bedroom and an attic storage room.

The gardens are principally lawned and edged by mature shrub borders. There is also an attractive pond within the garden which provides an attractive point of interest. Adjoining the garden are two brick built building one of which is currently used as a workshop, the other is a former Granary and offers the potential for conversion to residential accommodation subject to planning consent.

There is stabling for four horses and a tack room within a 18 m x 10 m steel portal building.
