Denise White Estate Agents Comments

A stunning stone-built converted barn, set in a spectacular rural location, offering far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and the Roaches, with approximately three acres of land.

Positioned within the Staffordshire Moorlands on the edge of the Peak District National Park, this exceptional former barn combines character, style, and modern living in a truly unique setting. While enjoying breathtaking views over the moorland, the property remains just a short drive from the historic market town of Leek, with its range of independent shops, eateries, and local amenities.

The barn has retained many original period features, thoughtfully complemented by contemporary design, resulting in a home perfectly suited to 21st-century family life. Upon entering, a spectacular reception hallway with a double-height galleried landing creates a striking focal point and an open, airy feel. Steps lead down into the inner hall, which provides access to the spacious lounge with a multi-fuel stove, a versatile annex bedroom with en-suite facilities, and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.

At the heart of the home is the generous breakfast kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units, a four-oven aga range cooker, and ample seating space. A door leads on to the front Patio, with access to a utility room and an additional cloakroom. Adjoining the kitchen is an outbuilding with excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The first-floor galleried landing leads to the impressive master bedroom and two further double bedrooms, all served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, the property is set within approximately three acres of land, offering a private and peaceful rural setting. The gardens provide a mix of lawn and natural landscaping, with ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the spectacular surroundings.

This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional period barn with modern conveniences, set in one of the most desirable locations within the Staffordshire Moorlands, with exceptional views, generous grounds, and versatile accommodation for modern family living.
