5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Bishton Lane, Wolseley Bridge, Stafford ST18

An incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a substantial one-of-a-kind five double bedroom semi-detached farmhouse in an idyllic, rural location, surrounded by stunning countryside.

In parts dating back to the 1650's with its iconic pepperpot style roof, this wonderful home is packed with character and sits in a secluded position at the heart of the Staffordshire countryside and boasts a wealth of charming accommodation, including separate living and dining rooms, both of which are very spacious and both boasting their own fabulous fireplaces, as well as five double bedrooms, including a spectacular Master bedroom with its own built in wardrobes and en-suite. The property is set across three floors, with the second floor dedicated entirely to the fifth double bedroom, originally used as the maid's resting quarters many years ago.

Despite its private and sequestered location, the property benefits from having very easy access to the centre of Stafford, Blithfield Reservoir and the breathtaking Cannock Chase; the perfect blend of seclusion and practicality.

A property this unique simply must be viewed in order to be appreciated.
