Generous farmhouse in village setting

A FORMER working farmhouse that originally dates back to 1751 is on the market in an East Staffordshire village.

Church Farm, in Church Road, Stretton, is on the market with Parker Hall for £514,500.

Originally dating back to 1751, this former working farmhouse features sympathetically retained features and has five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

A spokesman for the estate agent said: “Set in the heart of popular Stretton is Church Farm, a generously proportioned detached farmhouse showcasing oversized living accommodation, five good sized bedrooms and south facing cottage gardens.

“Originally dating back to 1751, this former working farmhouse features sympathetically retained features and offers plenty of space for a growing family, with the charming garden plot overlooking picturesque views towards the village churchyard.”

Inside the house is an entrance porch with three spacious reception rooms as well as a study or studio. It also has a bespoke fitted kitchen, walk-in larder, utility room and ground floor bathroom, with four double bedrooms, a large single bedroom (with potential to make a fifth double room) and a shower room to the first floor.

The estate agent added that there is potential for conversion of a large walk-in store room into an additional bathroom or dressing room.

Outside, there is ample parking and access into a large coach house, ideal for use as a garage/workshop or for conversion into a home office suite, with manicured south facing gardens and a courtyard at the front.

The farmhouse has mains gas central heating and full double glazing.
