Tucked-away housing gem for under £1m
A SECLUDED home that dates back to the early 1700s is on the market in an East Staffordshire village for just under £1 million.
The Old Nursery in Wood Edge Lane, Marchington, is now a fivebedroom family home surrounded by nature at its best.
It is on the market with Parker Hall at £995,000.
The estate agent said: “The Old Nursery is a magnificent detached country residence enjoying an elevated position that commands an outstanding panoramic outlook of breath-taking, far-reaching countryside views.
“This five bedroom (plus study/ sixth bedroom) family home provides versatile accommodation ideal to create a home office suite or annexe, showcasing a wealth of character and being offered with no upward chain. The grounds include a mature secluded garden of 0.6 acre and the house enjoys a stunning open outlook over an adjoining paddock which extends to 4.7 acres.
“Although in a very central location close to good road networks, the property is in a secluded spot, nestled against ancient woodlands, and located at the end of a no through country lane which leads on to a bridle path, making it an ideal location for those with equestrian interests.”
The Old Nursery has a quality fitted kitchen and utility room, a reclaimed stone fireplace and carved oak accents throughout. The home has versatile interiors which include a guest wing on the ground floor which could be converted into a self-contained annexe or home office suite.
It also has hardwood double glazing, oil fired central heating, a private drainage system and a security alarm.
Outside in the grounds is a raised stone paved terrace that overlooks the formal gardens which include a kitchen garden, orchard, netted soft fruit area and a decorative pizza oven.
It looks onto well-drained pasture land that extends to 4.7 acres and benefits from gated access out on to Wood Edge Lane. For more details, contact the agent.
