Property description
A stunning five bedroom family home enjoying an elevated position offering some of the finest views in rural Staffordshire. Sitting in a plot of approximately 3.2 acres.
Arn Hill House is just a stone's throw from the centre of Croxton, a small village on the outskirts of Eccleshall and within easy reach of the county town of Stafford and Newcastle under Lyme with mainline railway stations providing regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
The stunning views are the first thing that strikes you when approaching the property through the electric gates and drive up to Arn Hill House itself. Views are far reaching, taking in the Mear Hills to the north and reaching as far as Cannock Chase to the south east. It really is an unspoilt part of rural Staffordshire and such a wonderful spot in which to enjoy changing views throughout the seasons.
The large brick paved courtyard offers parking for numerous vehicles with a double garage to one side of the property. A good sized porch leads into the spacious hallway with guest cloakroom to the left and doors to the sitting room and kitchen to the rear.
The sitting room is a large and airy space with large windows to the front and side enjoying the panoramic views. A large, exposed brick fireplace houses an attractive multi fuel stove providing a welcome focal point to the room. An inner hallway leads from the sitting room to a smaller family snug or study, again, with views over the garden and beyond.
The modern kitchen is very much at the heart of the home with plenty of space for a table and chairs and a practical layout making it a very sociable space. An oil fired four oven AGA has a useful electric companion AGA oven to one side and the kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of hand made wooden units with polished granite work surfaces. As one would expect, there are a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, combination microwave/ grill and fridge.
A large dining room at the rear of the house has panoramic windows overlooking the rear garden with double doors leading to a paved entertaining area.
To the side of the kitchen is a second hallway, serving as a useful boot room which leads into a large utility with granite work surface, Belfast style sink and plumbing for white goods under. To the rear of the utility is a further cloak room with WC and wash hand basin.
Stairs lead from the front hallway to the first floor, turning left to the master bedroom suite. The double bedroom occupies the room to the front of the property, enjoying the wide reaching views. Additional space is used as a dressing room with large fitted wardrobes and leads into a well appointed en-suite bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower enclosure.
Bedroom two shares the same wing of the property as the master bedroom, arguably enjoying even better views!
