Situated in a cul-de-sac position in the semi-rural village of Church Eaton, you would be forgiven for thinking this to be a very ordinary family home however to the rear is a fantastic set up for equestrian and small holding use with paddocks of approximately 1.79 acres, a timber frame stable block with mains water and electric, having two loose boxes and tack/feed room. The house is beautifully presented and offers modern yet characterful accommodation with a country style breakfast kitchen, open plan lounge diner with feature fireplace, ground floor master bedroom with stylish and contemporary en suite shower room and two further bedrooms and family bathroom feature on the first floor. The property also benefits from Planning Consent (Ref. 13/18818/HOU) was granted on 6/8/2013 by Stafford Borough Council granted for a two storey extension which would create excellent additional living space on the ground floor and a large master bedroom with en-suite upstairs.
