Property description
Oulton is a small hamlet, close to the village of Norbury, It is situated approximately 4 miles north-east of Newport. The village gave its name to Norbury junction, about one mile to the south-east. At one time, this was a junction between the main Birmingham and Liverpool Canal (later the Shropshire Union Canal) and a branch stretching through Newport to the now-abandoned Shrewsbury Canal. The property is surrounded by open countryside and a large network of bridleways and footpaths to from which explore the area.
The county town of Stafford is a short distance away with the mainline railway station providing regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester as do the M6 and M54 motorways, both within easy reach of the property.
Oulton Farm Barns is a select development of five barns, sensitively designed to afford as much privacy to each property as possible. Surrounded by open farmland and countryside the property enjoys views over its own large garden plot and beyond.
A gravel driveway leads to the side of the property where there are parking spaces for a number of vehicles, the driveway sweeping on past a large timber shed/ workshop and enclosed rear garden, onwards to the second, enclosed garden with wooden summerhouse, vegetable beds and shaped lawn area.
The barn is a traditional two storey Staffordshire red brick barn, at one time used for storing carts and farm machinery, now the conversion has clearly benefited from the large, arched openings that have been transformed into windows and doors, creating a light and airy home.
The ground floor has a spacious entrance hall, with guest cloakroom off, turning left into a well-proportioned sitting room, with doors opening out to the rear garden. There is also a good sized separate dining room and well-appointed kitchen with granite topped breakfast bar and work preparation surfaces.
A door opens from the kitchen revealing a blue brick stair case rising to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms, the master benefitting from an en-suite shower room. The recently refitted principal bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.
There are two distinct garden areas adjacent to the barn, shaped lawns bounded by well stocked borders, the garden closest to the property being enclosed by post and rail fencing, the gravel driveway separating the two areas. The top garden plot not only has a wooden summerhouse but vegetable beds and a fenced chicken run.
The property is presented in immaculate condition throughout, a testament to the vendors’ taste.
