Description
Manor Farm is a truly superb property offering excellent equestrian facilities along with magnificent views of the Staffordshire countryside and stands within 12.3/4 acres of delightful gardens and grounds. Manor Farm is a spacious detached home which has been designed and built by its current owners with no expense spared to create a truly beautiful home.

Bespoke windows and doors are made from sustainable hardwood to enhance the quality even further. For the purpose of enjoying the equestrian facilities, CCTV has been installed which serves all the outside areas including the paddocks and stabling.

Not only does Manor Farm offer flexible accommodation, but planning consent provides the opportunity for a potential purchaser to operate a business from their new home. This does not have to be confined to an equine business.

Manor Farm also has a registered holding number ideal if agricultural live stock is to be kept.

Grounds and gardens
The property is approached through electronically controlled gates providing off road access to the large driveway. The barn and brick stables can both be located to the front aspect with Laurel hedging providing the boundary.

The open barn is currently used for parking. However it has the advantage of planning consent for leisure or additional stabling facilities.
