Description
The situation of The Paddocks on the border of Shropshire and Staffordshire makes it ideal for commuters working further afield as the M6 is a mere ten miles away, the county town of Stafford has a main train link to London and there are a number of international airports within a 90 minute drive. However, the tranquil and rural location make it perfect for those wishing to enjoy a peaceful life in beautiful countryside.
The popular village of Loggerheads is only one mile away and this benefits from a range of facilities including small supermarket, post office, butcher, restaurant and takeaway, pub and well-reputed primary school. More extensive amenities, including secondary schools, doctors' surgery and leisure facilities are to be found in Market Drayton and the larger towns of Stafford and The Potteries.
The Property
Accessed via a no-through road The Paddocks is one of only four properties in this exclusive development. Formally the cattle shed to the main farmhouse, the current owners lovingly converted the barn in 2010 to create a beautiful family home with excellent equestrian facilities.
To the ground floor there is a generous yet cosy sitting room complete with a striking brick fireplace housing a log-burner. A further reception room is currently being utilised as ground floor bedroom with the benefit of an adjacent shower room, however this could be used as a useful home office or playroom.
The delightful and well-equipped kitchen runs the entire width of the barn and has been designed to incorporate a dining space with bespoke seating at one end. Central double doors lead out onto the charming walled courtyard, creating a seamless blend of outdoor and indoor living to enjoy in the warmer months. There is also a large separate utility room which has plenty of storage.
Throughout the property are a host of beautiful features, most notable are the stunning original exposed beams in the first floor and the pretty port-hole window in the principle bedroom which benefits from stunning views across neighbouring farmland. This lovely room also has an ensuite shower room. There are a further two bedrooms and family bathroom.
Equestrian Facilities
The current owners have created an excellent range of equestrian facilities including a timber L-shape stable block with four stables each measuring 12' x 12' and a further lean-to which is a useful storage/hay barn. To the rear of the stables is a hardcore parking area ideal for a lorry or farm machinery. The manège, which measures 60m x 20m, has a carpet and sand surface perfect for all weather conditions.
The land is formed in one block and is sub-divided into five paddocks of various sizes, all with post and rail fencing and water troughs. The bottom meadow has been used for hay making in the last few years and has consistently produced sufficient hay to feed the resident horses. There are many quiet lanes in the area for riding out and endless off-road riding opportunities in the nearby Burntwood.
Dispute
Please be aware that there has been a historic dispute with a neighbour over registry, planning and rights of way. This has been resolved within the last six months and we are advised that the matter is no longer ongoing.
Please contact either Annabel or Steph on or to organise an appointment.
