Levedale, Stafford, Staffordshire, ST18

Long Meadow
Set amongst rolling Staffordshire countryside, Long Meadow presents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial residence, prime for remodelling and modernisation, set in a stunning garden plot of approx. 0.75 acres. The plot has previously benefitted from now lapsed permission to construct a detached dwelling to one side of the existing house. The house itself, offers excellent proportions and large rooms making it an ideal foundation to create a unique and individual home. The views offered from all aspects, but particularly easterly towards Cannock Chase are extremely rare and not to be missed.

A handy glazed porch opens to the spacious entrance hall with original polished floor, providing access to all living accommodation. The sitting room is off one end of the hallway and is an exceptional triple aspect space. With large windows offering views of the adjoining gardens, the sitting room is a delightful formal reception room with open fire and double doors leading to the covered veranda. Next to the sitting room is the dining room, again offering an abundance of space, views across the gardens and access to the veranda. The dining room is a highly flexible space that could have a variety of uses as required, whilst there is a useful study at the end of the hall which is next to the guest W.C. A doorway opens to the kitchen breakfast room which runs along the rear of Long Meadow, benefitting from exceptional views across the gardens and beyond towards Cannock Chase. There is a range of fitted wall and floor cabinetry as well as a pantry cupboard. There are a range of ancillary rooms off the end of the breakfast area including rear hall / boot room, further W.C., utility, boiler room and integral double garage.

The stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, which is flooded with light. There are three bedrooms off one side of the landing, two with easterly views towards Cannock Chase; the landing continues through the family bathroom and leads to the vast principal bedroom which has large windows, offering glorious countryside views.

Outbuilding
Separate from the house and running alongside Levedale Road is a detached brick-built barn that would suit a variety of uses including a home office, gym / leisure space, garaging or additional living accommodation (all subject to the relevant consents).

Gardens and Grounds
Separated from the quiet Levedale Road by pretty white estate fencing, Long Meadow is approached through a five bar gate which provides access to the gravelled driveway, offering parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens and grounds are laid to sweeping lawns, interspersed with mature shrubs. Both the front and rear gardens offer rarely found views of the surrounding countryside, and to Cannock Chase to the east beyond.

All in all the plot totals approx. 0.75 acres.

Services: main electricity and water. Private drainage
