Description
Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, Welldale is a truly individual residence offering space, tranquillity, and the freedom to create a lifestyle entirely your own. Set amidst approximately 7 acres of glorious land, this unique home is surrounded by unspoilt woodland and rolling Staffordshire countryside - yet remains conveniently close to local amenities and major transport links.
Whether you envision an equestrian haven, multigenerational living, a serene countryside retreat, or the opportunity to build a grand design of your own, Welldale provides the perfect canvas — and is offered with no upper chain.
Step Inside
The entrance hall welcomes you with original terrazzo flooring and exposed brickwork, immediately setting the tone – characterful, inviting, and full of potential.
At the heart of the home is a flexible dining hall with bi-folding doors, allowing you to close off a more formal dining space when desired. A convenient guest cloakroom is accessed directly from this space.
From the dining hall, double doors open into a spacious lounge where a striking exposed brick fireplace with log burner creates a central focal point. Panoramic windows and patio doors frame views across the gardens and woodland beyond, while an integrated air conditioning unit ensures comfort throughout the seasons.
The open-plan kitchen/diner features a range of cabinetry topped with marble-effect work surfaces and includes a generous walk-in pantry for all your storage needs. This space flows effortlessly into a relaxed snug/family area, complete with bespoke window seating – perfect for curling up with a book or soaking in the serene surroundings. Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate utility room offers additional work surfaces and cabinetry, ideal for modern family life.
A spacious and versatile room, currently used as a home office/study, provides a peaceful environment for working from home and includes built-in cupboards and shelving for ample storage.
Bedrooms & Living Space
Two generously sized double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and picturesque views over the garden and woodland, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
At the end of the hallway, a split-level staircase leads to an additional double bedroom with built-in storage, along with the impressive master suite.
The principal bedroom offers a light-filled haven, with patio doors opening onto a striking wraparound balcony – the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while admiring panoramic views of the grounds and woodland. This well-appointed suite includes a private en-suite bathroom and a dressing area, which in turn leads to an additional en-suite shower room.
Practical Spaces & Lower Ground Floor
The lower ground floor provides outstanding practicality. Accessed via the split-level staircase, it leads to the double integral garage, a boiler room housing a recently replaced boiler, multiple storage areas, and a cloakroom. This versatile space is ideal for hobbyists, gardeners, or those with active outdoor pursuits.
Endless Outdoor Opportunities
Every aspect of Welldale embraces a strong connection to the outdoors – from the sweeping private driveway to expansive lawns, mature trees, beautiful woodland, and a well-tended kitchen garden. A generous wraparound patio offers the perfect setting for entertaining, alfresco dining, or simply unwinding with nature as your backdrop.
The surrounding grounds include a private paddock with a fully enclosed football pitch adding to the appeal – offering versatile use for those with equestrian interests or families seeking open recreational space.
In addition to the integral garage, the property also includes a separate timber garage and a storage shed, providing ample space for tools, vehicles, or equipment.
Nestled to one side of the property lies a picturesque valley, home to a timber-framed animal shelter, along with brick-built enclosures housing a diesel generator for backup power, and a separate unit containing an electric pumping system to a ground-fed natural well – offering an additional water source if needed. This secluded section of land adds yet another layer of valuable functionality and flexibility to the lifestyle on offer here.
An additional parcel of land, with restricted vehicle access, lies further within the surrounding woodland – ideal for further exploration or future use.
Scope to Expand
Planning consent is already in place to significantly extend the existing home into a bespoke family home. Full details of the planning approval can be viewed on the Stafford Borough Council planning portal (REF: 20/32071/LDC – confirming commencement of works under original application 17/26099/HOU).
