Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Pen Farm is a truly characterful stone-built farmhouse with origins dating back to the 18th century, and later extended during the 19th century. Formerly part of the historic Devonshire Estate, the property is believed to have served as a resting and holding point for packhorses transporting copper ore from the nearby Ecton Hill mines through the picturesque Manifold Valley, giving the home a fascinating connection to the rich industrial and agricultural heritage of the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Occupying an enviable elevated position with breathtaking panoramic views across the stunning Manifold Valley, Pen Farm enjoys an exceptional sense of peace, privacy and seclusion, surrounded by unspoilt countryside and rolling pastureland. Steeped in original charm and period character, the property retains an abundance of authentic features including exposed timber beams, quarry tiled flooring, stone fireplaces and traditional farmhouse detailing, whilst offering extensive and highly versatile accommodation ideally suited to family living, multi-generational occupation or potential holiday accommodation opportunities.

Set within approximately five acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grazing paddocks, Pen Farm is further complemented by an impressive range of outbuildings including stables, workshops, garaging and a superbly converted barn finished to an exceptional standard, offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses. Rarely does a property combine such historic significance, lifestyle appeal, versatility and breathtaking surroundings, making Pen Farm a remarkable opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive country residence in one of the Staffordshire Moorlands’ most idyllic settings.
