High Trees Dairy, Hobb Lane, Marchington Woodlands, ST14

Enjoying an enviable setting amidst tranquil Staffordshire countryside is High Trees Dairy, an exceptional barn conversion showcasing an superb standard of finish throughout, generously extended accommodation including five bedrooms and a stunning south facing garden with further two acre paddock and wildlife lake. Having been thoroughly refurbished in recent years to include oak framed additions, a 2022 boiler and a new roof, High Trees Dairy offers immaculately presented interiors highlighting the character of the original barn through exposed beams and oak framed windows, thumb latch doors, a bespoke kitchen and traditionally styled bathroom fittings.

The accommodation extends mainly over a single storey with the versatile layout presenting ideal ancillary accommodation or space for a home-based business. The unrivalled location combines the ideals of both secluded rural living and convenient access to local amenities and commuter routes, with further potential to create additional income. A deck terrace and jetty leading onto the lake offer superb space for a log cabin, and the location presents outstanding potential to create a quirky Air BnB style business (subject to relevant permissions).

The entrance hall leads into the magnificent open plan dining and living kitchen, featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and leading in turn to an oak framed garden room. Doors open out to the south facing gardens and to a further courtyard to the rear, and a utility room lies off the main hallway. A boot room offers a second entrance into the property as well as potential for self contained accommodation alongside the further reception room, study/fifth bedroom, fourth double bedroom and cloakroom. Three additional double bedrooms are serviced by a master en suite and a luxurious family bathroom. Outside, a short private drive through countryside and woodland brings you to High Trees Dairy, where electric gates open into the private driveway. There is parking for a number of vehicles, a detached coach house houses a car port, garage and useful mower store, and gated access into the paddock offers further parking for larger vehicles. The paddock is laid to grass and the idyllic lake, where a variety of waterfowl and wildlife can be found. Two jetties overlook the water and a raised terrace offers a tranquil spot for entertaining whilst enjoying lake and countryside views. High Trees Dairy is serviced by LPG heating (under floor to most) and superior painted hardwood double glazed windows and doors throughout.
