The Principal Residence
The estate was purchased some 30 years ago and work began with architects and planning on a new principal residence for the estate on the existing footprint. Stunning Hollington stone blocks were individually selected, hand-cut and meticulously laid underneath a slate roof. Handcrafted windows, doors and flooring were made to create a timeless home of outstanding quality and craftsmanship. Fairfield Farm sits effortlessly within its surrounding landscape, appearing as though it has stood proudly for centuries whilst being only 25 years young.

The principal rooms and first floor 3 all suite bedrooms are elegant, spacious and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across Fairfield Estate to either side, there is a room for every member of the family.
The Garden Cottage
Designed to complement the principal residence and newly built with two generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, underfloor heating, garaging and equally spectacular views across the estate. Further residential scope can be utilised here as the garaging also has utilities and underfloor heating.
Together, the Country House and Garden Cottage create outstanding flexibility for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation or older children, seamlessly extending the principal residence to five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Established Estate Income
Carefully positioned to preserve the privacy of the principal residence, Fairfield Estate benefits from an exceptional collection of independent residential accommodation that provides established estate income while enhancing the long-term sustainability of the estate.
Three beautifully crafted Scandinavian oak lodges, each offering one bedroom, a luxurious bathroom and open-plan kitchen and sitting room, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling Staffordshire countryside, overlooking Alton Valley and towards the Peak District National Park. Individually positioned to maximise privacy, each lodge provides outstanding guest accommodation and an established income stream.
Complementing the lodges is Drovers Barn, an attractive detached Hollington stone barn conversion offering two bedrooms, a family bathroom, a generous kitchen and dining room, and a welcoming sitting room centred around a traditional open fireplace. Full of character and enjoying its own private setting, Drovers Barn provides additional high-quality accommodation that further contributes to the estate's established residential income.
Together with productive grazing land generating a separate agricultural income, these thoughtfully designed residences create a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully balanced country estate where established residential and grazing income support the ongoing stewardship and enjoyment of this remarkable holding.
The Estate & Grounds
The main driveway takes you past the agricultural barn and onto Drovers Barn, the lodges and the principle residence. A second driveway was cut in and is serviced by electricity and water with a 5 bar gate at the top this driveway extends privately behind the principle residence and garden cottage.
Beyond the beautifully landscaped gardens, Fairfield Estate unfolds into approximately 28 acres of some of Staffordshire's most captivating countryside. Traditional dry-stone walls, mature pleached hedgerows and gently rolling grazing paddocks create a landscape of exceptional beauty, enjoying breathtaking views across the estate, the stocked lake, Alton Valley and towards the Peak District National Park.
Designed with both practicality and longevity in mind, every grazing paddock benefits from independent water and electricity supplies, providing outstanding infrastructure for equestrian pursuits, livestock and modern estate management. The productive grazing generates an established agricultural income, complementing the residential accommodation and creating a beautifully balanced country estate.
Enhancing the estate further is a charming Old English orchard, a beautiful man-made lake which is stream fed and a collection of traditional estate outbuildings, including stores, workshops and a greenhouse, all contributing to the character, functionality and enduring appeal of this remarkable holding.
A substantial agricultural barn forms an integral part of the estate's infrastructure, currently providing extensive storage together with a fitted kitchen, office, mezzanine floor and solar panels. Offering exceptional flexibility, the building is ideally suited to agricultural or equestrian use and, subject to the necessary planning consents, presents exciting potential for a variety of future uses, including an indoor riding arena, commercial premises, workshops, secure storage or other diversified business opportunities, further enhancing the long-term versatility and value of Fairfield Estate.
Whether your ambition is to create an exceptional equestrian home, a private family estate, a multi-generational country residence or a beautifully balanced lifestyle investment with established residential and agricultural income, Fairfield Estate offers a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Staffordshire's most complete and versatile private country estates.
