Situated on the fringe of this highly desirable village, and within proximity of an excellent array of amenities and facilities, (including first class schools), this period red brick detached country home, stands on an impressive, elevated position with large extensively walled gardens and spectacular views over rolling fields. 

Having been occupied by the current owners for approximately 60 years, the sale of The Rectory represents a very rare opportunity to purchase this individual home of substantial proportions.

With immense character throughout, and lovely traditional Staffordshire architectural features, the home in brief comprises: Impressive Entrance with shallow stone archway leading to entrance porch and subsequently a large, elegant entrance hall with easy tread staircase leading to the first floor. There are three large, well-proportioned reception rooms. The principle Drawing Room having an interesting semi hexagonal bay window enjoying wonderful views over the grounds, with the formal dining room also having a large corner window with shutters, again offering tremendous views. The large kitchen to the front has an extensive array of fitted cupboards and affords an open aspect to the front. To the eastern side of the house, is a further range of ancillary accommodation which could easily be incorporated within the main house.

On the first floor of the main house, a landing with a large feature stained glass window offering lots of natural light & running off the landing are seven well proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom has also a semi hexagonal bay affording again  exceptional views to the southern aspect.

A coach house to the eastern side offers extensive workshop, storage and garaging with further ancillary accommodation above. The gardens, predominantly to the Southern aspect, are extensively walled with a variety of mature specimen trees. The grounds extending to approximately 1.2 acres. The rear courtyard provides ample areas to park numerous vehicles.

Whilst in need of up-grading and refurbishment the home will undoubtedly present a discerning purchaser with a variety of possibilities but undoubtedly, fully restored will become again one of the best country homes in the district.
