Description

Set along a tree-lined private drive, this substantial five-bedroom barn conversion extends to approximately 3,186 sq ft and forms part of the former Colton Hall estate.

The conversion has retained much of what gives a property like this its appeal. Exposed brickwork, substantial timber beams, vaulted ceilings and generous proportions sit alongside more contemporary additions, including an impressive oak-framed extension opening the house beautifully towards the gardens.

There is a real sense of character throughout the house, with a layout that offers considerably more flexibility than you might expect from a traditional barn conversion.

At the heart of the ground floor is a collection of generous living spaces. The main lounge is an impressive room with exposed beams and brickwork, while the separate sitting room, study and dining space give the house plenty of options for family life, entertaining or working from home.

The oak-framed garden room is perhaps one of the most distinctive parts of Oakland. Filled with natural light and enjoying an outlook across the gardens, it creates a natural connection between the house and the outside space.

The kitchen is a substantial room in its own right, with space for everyday dining, while a further open-plan kitchen, living and office area sits towards the opposite end of the property.

Together with the adjoining ground-floor double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and en suite, this part of the house offers excellent flexibility. It could work particularly well for guests, multigenerational living, teenagers or as a more independent annexe-style area if required.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues, with four further double bedrooms, each benefiting from the proportions and architectural detail that come with the building, including exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, extending to over 20 ft in length and complemented by its own walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the tranquil setting is an important part of what makes Oakland feel so special.

The established gardens provide a wonderfully private backdrop to the house, with mature planting, traditional walls and post-and-rail boundaries sitting naturally alongside the original brick elevations of the barn. Beyond, the surrounding Staffordshire countryside adds to the peaceful feel of the setting.

To the front, the private tree-lined approach leads into a generous gravelled parking area and single garage, giving the property a real sense of arrival without feeling overly formal.

Despite the rural feel, Oakland is not isolated.

Colton itself is only a short distance away, with Abbots Bromley, Lichfield and Stafford all within easy reach. Cannock Chase and Blithfield Reservoir provide miles of countryside for walking, cycling and time outdoors, while McArthurGlen Designer Outlet at Cannock is also within easy reach for shopping and dining. Excellent road and rail connections make travelling across the wider UK straightforward, with Birmingham and Manchester both readily accessible and direct trains to London Euston taking around 1 hour 40 minutes.

Tenure: Freehold
Drainage: Private drainage system serving the property only
Heating: LPG central heating, with boiler installed in 2023

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure 
 
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers. 
 
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence. 
 
To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase. 
 
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress. 
 
This upfront approach helps: 
* Reduce delays once an offer is agreed 
* Improve transparency for all parties 
* Support a smoother and more reliable sales process

Where applicable, this property is marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to support a faster and more transparent transaction. The successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT (£390 including VAT) in order to proceed with their offer. This pack includes key searches and supporting legal information that would ordinarily be obtained by a buyer after a sale is agreed. 
 
In line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all named purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.  The cost of AML checks is £20 + VAT per person (£24 including VAT) and is payable separately. All required AML checks must be completed before the transaction can progress.
