Oak Tree House, Scotland Lane, Harlaston, B79

Nestled within the idyllic Mease Valley is Oak Tree House, an exceptional detached family residence, occupying a mature garden plot of 0.8 acre including a fabulous leisure complex with swimming pool and sauna, all overlooking tranquil countryside views. Having been thoughtfully designed and finished to a superb specification, this imposing six bedroom property offers plenty of room for a growing family also needing dedicated work-from-home spaces, with plenty of scope to extend the property further as required (subject to relevant permissions). Oak Tree House has been well maintained since its build around 15 years ago, with recent upgrades to include a new oil tank and a CCTV system. The property benefits from under floor heating throughout the expansive ground floor accommodation with radiators upstairs, and resides beyond a secure gated entrance amidst tranquil Staffordshire countryside.

An oak entrance door opens into the galleried reception hall, leading in turn to a spacious lounge, family room/gym, fully fitted study and an L shaped family dining kitchen, with functional rooms including a walk in cloakroom, laundry room with additional walk in store and a guests WC. A solid oak staircase rises to the first floor wrap around landing, leading off to six generously proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant garden and countryside views and having a range of fitted wardrobes and storage. Three bedrooms benefit from private en suites and a luxury family bathroom services the additional bedrooms.

Outside, the secure, electric gated entrance opens into an expansive driveway where there is parking for a number of vehicles as well as access into the detached double garage, and formal gardens totalling 0.6 acre extend to all sides of the property being laid to paved terraces, lawns and a kitchen garden. There is a log cabin ideal as a work-from-home space (by separate negotiation), and a superb leisure complex is set within the garden housing a heated swimming pool, sauna, changing and WC facilities. Beyond gated access is a further area of woodland and garden totalling 0.2 acre and far-reaching views can be appreciated from all aspects from both the house and gardens.
