Main Street, Tatenhill, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, DE13.

A private sweeping drive leads to the ample courtyard parking area enclosed by The Mill House to the left, the office suite directly ahead and the garages with The Coach House Apartment above.

Built in the early 19th Century with mid 19th and 20th Century additions, this handsome Grade II listed Georgian home has an inspiring, crenellated Gothic bay to the left-hand side, which forms the office suite.

The front of the property overlooks the splendid landscaped garden and double doors, with the original shutters open into the welcoming entrance hall. This extends through the house with a solid wood door opening to the courtyard parking area at the opposite end. Stairs rise from here to the first floor landing area and provides a good-sized, walk-in storage cupboard beneath, perfect for coats and shoes.

There is also a useful guest cloakroom/WC. From here, doors radiate to the principal reception rooms.

The dining room sits at the front of the house and is currently used as a sitting room. There are lovely views over the garden and an arched gothic window to the side of the fireplace making for an attractive focal point. A log burning stove is set in the fireplace with a solid wood beam mantle and a quarry tiled hearth.

Fully glazed double doors lead through to the kitchen/breakfast room, which can also be accessed from the entrance hall. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of oak wall, and floor mounted units with granite work surfaces over. The wooden ceiling beams and the double Belfast sink add to the superb farmhouse feel of this wonderful kitchen. There is a large window overlooking the rear aspect and providing plenty of natural light. There is a separate utility room with space for the larger kitchen appliances.

The grand drawing room stretches the entire width of the house. This is a light and bright space with a dual aspect where views can be enjoyed over the gardens and the courtyard. There are intricate plaster mouldings to the ceiling and walls, adding to the feel of decadence that this room provides. The fireplace with its carved mantlepiece and marble inset and hearth creates further focal interest.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor landing area. This lovely dual aspect space has a floor to ceiling window where views over the garden can be enjoyed. Three of the five bedrooms can be accessed from here, along with the large family bathroom.

The principal bedroom suite sits at the front of the house and enjoys a lovely garden view. There is a large built-in wardrobe offering ample storage space. The well fitted en suite bathroom with a double corner walk-in shower and separate bath is accessed from a small tiled hallway, with the separate WC being on the opposite side.

The Office offers the scope to run a good-sized business from home or the opportunity to convert into further living accommodation for the main house or as a separate annexe (with the relevant planning consents).

The Coach House Apartment is a superb self-contained annexe and is ideal as ancillary accommodation or to provide a rental income.

The Coach House Outbuildings sit beneath the apartment; there are three garages, a garden store and a workshop/tool store. Again, these superb outbuildings offer huge potential and scope in their use.

Gardens and grounds
Steps rise to a feature oak framed gable porch leading into the rear of the entrance hall and gated access opens into the formal gardens which are laid to regal shaped lawns, stocked borders edged with mature foliage and trees and a feature rockery border.

An ornate gate within a character wall leads out onto the woodland and paddock and the millstream can be viewed from a bridge beneath a charming pergola. The gardens and woodland and simply magical.

Accessed from the gardens is an area of private woodland and paddock land which, including the garden and driveway, extends to 3.75 acres.
