Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Perched in an enviable elevated position on Morridge Side, on the rural fringes of the highly regarded village of Thorncliffe, New Sheepwalk Farm is a wonderful country dwelling enjoying some of the most breathtaking and far-reaching views the Staffordshire Moorlands has to offer. From its commanding vantage point, the outlook stretches across rolling countryside and moorland, reaching as far as the distinctive silhouette of The Wrekin on the horizon. Set within approximately nine acres of land and accompanied by a substantial barn suitable for a variety of agricultural or domestic uses, the property offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with space, versatility and spectacular scenery.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides a warm and welcoming home. The ground floor offers a spacious lounge, where a multi-fuel stove creates a cosy focal point, while dual aspect windows frame beautiful countryside views in both directions. A door leads through to the dining room, which comfortably accommodates a large dining table and chairs, creating the ideal setting for family gatherings and entertaining. From here, stairs rise to the first floor and a further door leads into the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and integrated appliances, and features a traditional Rayburn which provides part of the home’s heating and hot water, alongside space for a freestanding electric range style cooker. From the kitchen, a door leads into the delightful garden room, a bright and relaxing space with large windows and French doors opening onto the front patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

To the first floor there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from magnificent rural outlooks, together with a large family bathroom.

At lower ground floor level is a superb basement room, currently utilised as a sitting and entertainment space complete with a bar area - an ideal place for hosting friends and family. A door from this room leads through to the double garage, which features two electric up-and-over doors and stairs rising to an excellent loft storage room. This additional space offers superb potential for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents.

Externally, the property is approached via a large driveway providing extensive off-road parking and access to the integral garage. To the front of the property is a sizeable patio area which takes full advantage of the outstanding views - the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine or relax with an evening drink while watching the light fade across the moorlands.

The land at New Sheepwalk Farm extends to approximately nine acres and includes two paddocks, with a picturesque gulley of designated Site of Special Scientific Interest land running between them. The grounds are ideally suited to grazing sheep or other smallholding livestock, making the property particularly appealing to those seeking a rural lifestyle.

Despite its wonderfully peaceful and private setting, the property remains conveniently located within easy reach of the nearby market town of Leek and its wide range of amenities. The stunning landscapes of the Peak District National Park lie close at hand, with renowned beauty spots including The Roaches and Three Shires Head also within easy reach.

A viewing of New Sheepwalk Farm is essential to truly appreciate not only the size and versatility of the accommodation on offer, but also the remarkable setting and panoramic countryside views which make this property such a special place to call home.
