Heathyards Farm enjoys an enviable position between the sought-after villages of Hopton and Weston, surrounded by attractive Staffordshire countryside yet within easy reach of the county town of Stafford.

Weston offers an excellent range of village amenities including public houses, church, schools and hotel. The renowned Weston Hall, situated on the edge of the village, provides award-winning dining and luxury accommodation. Stafford, located approximately three miles away, offers an extensive selection of national retailers, restaurants, cafés, bars and leisure facilities. The recently developed Beaconside retail centre, just 1.7 miles from the property, includes a Co-op convenience store, coffee shop and takeaway outlets.

Set at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway, Heathyards Farm is a charming detached Victorian farmhouse extending to almost 3,000 sq ft and occupying a delightful rural setting, whilst remaining only minutes from Stafford town centre. The current owners have sympathetically refurbished the property to create a bright, spacious and versatile family home, perfectly suited to modern living.

A generous, covered porch opens into the welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to the principal reception rooms. The elegant sitting room is flooded with natural light and features a wood-burning stove set within an attractive fireplace. An opening leads through to the garden room, where double doors open onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The dining room is equally impressive, enjoying dual-aspect views and offering excellent space for both formal dining and entertaining. A central rear hallway provides practical day-to-day space for coats and footwear, together with access to the rear porch and guest cloakroom.

The true heart of the home is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. The family area provides an additional reception space, centred around a wood-burning stove and complemented by double doors opening onto the terrace and covered outdoor dining area. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of two-tone cabinetry beneath a combination of quartz and wooden work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer, oven and microwave grill. A substantial island unit creates a natural focal point and defines the space, leading through to the dining area, which provides ample room for informal family meals and entertaining alike.

Positioned just across the terrace, a detached outbuilding offers valuable ancillary accommodation comprising a large utility room with additional storage, a garden store/workshop and a gardener's WC.

A wide staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first-floor landing. The principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching countryside views from dual aspects and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one of which also benefits from ensuite facilities, together with a spacious family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath.
