4 bed detached house for sale

Church Fields, Newcastle ST5

Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this much-loved four-bedroom detached family residence offers over an acre of grounds, lovely countryside views, and endless potential. Built in 1978 and owned by the same family for over 50 years. Although the property would benefit from some modernising, it enjoys the rare advantage of sitting outside the restrictive Keele conservation area, allowing greater scope for extension or development (subject to necessary planning).

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch leading into a generous hallway, a spacious lounge with fireplace, dining room, and a kitchen with adjoining utility room and new combi-boiler. A shower room, cloakroom with separate WC and a versatile ground floor double bedroom adds to the flexible layout. At the rear, a large conservatory enjoying panoramic open views.

Upstairs, the triple-aspect principal bedroom is filled with natural light, alongside two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. A substantial loft space offers excellent scope for conversion into additional bedrooms, an office, or studio.

The property benefits from an integral double garage with electric roller door, driveway parking for several vehicles, and a separate gated hardstanding ideal for multiple caravans, motorhomes, boats, or a large outdoor workspace.

The surrounding gardens are well-maintained and mainly laid to lawn, leading to a connecting field of approximately one acre — perfect for recreation, keeping animals, growing produce, or further development. Within the grounds lies a fascinating decommissioned underground reservoir that's been drained (approx. 5m x 4m with vaulted roof), offering unique potential for conversion into a gym, studio, wine cellar or even a striking sunken terrace.

Keele is one of the area’s most sought-after villages, home to a highly regarded primary school, the beautiful Keele Church, country walks, a welcoming pub, and Keele University with its many amenities.
