Property description
The Old Farmhouse is part of a small, select development of a former farmhouse and surrounding barns. Beaconside is a wonderfully accessible location on the outskirts of Stafford, enjoying easy access to the M6 motorway at Junction 14 and a very short distance from the mainline railway station at Stafford, providing regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
The property is approached by a private drive, affording a good deal of privacy, rising slowly to the vantage point that provides it's name to the former farm. Surrounded by a mix of paddock and working farmland, predominately used for grazing sheep, the site has a feeling of seclusion and tranquility.
Number 1 can only be described as the principal property in the development, it's imposing facade providing the first impression as you approach the attractive portico, mirroring the similar structure found on the original building. The property has large gardens to the front and side with a separate courtyard to the rear with additional parking spaces and a paved entertaining area looking out onto the central paddock.
The renovation has been both thorough and well thought out, retaining much of the original character whilst creating a light and modern space in keeping with the way in which open planned space is so desirable in contemporary family life. The accommodation briefly comprises:
Striking timber and brick portico with guest WC to the left leading into a large open planned dining and kitchen area. Original curved stair case rising to first floor.
Dining area 5.42x4.55m
Original beams have been exposed, solid wood framed double glazed window to front.
Kitchen 5.29x4.61m
