6 bed detached house for sale

Stubwood Lane, Denstone, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire ST14

Set in a stunning rural location at the end of a private driveway through open fields, Riddings Farm offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a modernised country home positioned within an extensive plot of approximately 6 acres. The property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded by the current owners to provide spacious, light-filled, and highly flexible accommodation. In addition to the main house, the property features two substantial outbuildings, a brick-built former parlour and a steel-framed barn, offering over 2,500 sq ft of versatile space, well suited for a variety of uses.

Entered via a covered portico, a half-glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with doors leading to the principal ground floor rooms. At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan, triple-aspect kitchen and breakfast room, extending nearly 25 feet and thoughtfully zoned into cooking and dining areas.

The kitchen is well-appointed with an extensive range of wall and base cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces and includes space for a range-style cooker and additional appliances. An oak-block breakfast bar adds informal seating, while the dining area flows seamlessly onto an oak floor with patio doors opening to the garden.

Opposite the kitchen lies a useful front-facing utility room with adjoining pantry, offering excellent storage and practical workspace. The hallway continues to a set of double doors opening into a spacious, light-filled sitting room, centred around a wood-burning stove—a charming focal point. Beyond this, two further reception rooms offer outstanding versatility: Currently used as a secondary sitting room and a formal dining room. They could equally serve as a home office or playroom. A conservatory/sunroom at the rear and a guest WC complete the well-balanced and flexible ground floor accommodation.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a bright first-floor landing. There are six double bedrooms—three at either end of the house—all enjoying views over paddocks and countryside. The rear bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom with separate shower, while the front ones share a spacious shower room. There is excellent potential to create a vast principal suite at the front by combining two bedrooms and the shower room into a bedroom, dressing room, and en suite.

Gardens and Grounds
Riddings Farm impresses externally, accessed via a private drive through fields and paddocks, leading to a large driveway with ample parking. Paths extend around the house and gardens, which are mainly lawned with terraces and seating areas. There's an external wash room and gardener's WC.

The gardens lead to a rear courtyard, giving access to outbuildings including a brick-built former parlour (now workshop and storage) and a steel-framed livestock barn — both offering potential for conversion (subject to consents) to holiday lets, workspaces, or garaging. Additional land includes an orchard, chicken run, and several fenced paddocks with interconnecting gates, totalling approx. 6 acres.

Riddings Farm enjoys a stunning rural setting on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Denstone, home to the prestigious Denstone College. The village offers a thriving community with a popular pub, the scenic Churnet Valley path, and the award-winning Denstone Hall Farm Shop & Café. Just a short drive away, Uttoxeter provides a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, a cinema, bowling, an ice rink, and the renowned Uttoxeter Racecourse. Alton Towers is under 4 miles away, and golf is available nearby at Uttoxeter and Manor Golf Clubs. Perfectly positioned for commuters, the A50 offers easy access to the M1, M6, and M42. Rail services from Uttoxeter connect to Derby, Stoke, and beyond, including direct routes to London. Manchester, Birmingham, and East Midlands airports are all within an hour's drive. Families are well served with excellent schools in the area, including Repton, Abbotsholme, the jcb Academy, and Thomas Alleyne's, with Denstone College just a short walk from the property.
