5 bed detached house for sale

Grindon, Staffordshire, Leek ST13

The Cavalier is a historic property dating back to the first half of the 17th century, offering a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Formerly known as the Cavalier Inn, it ceased trading as a public house in 2006 after serving as a pub for about a century.
