SELLER INSIGHT

This magnificent complex of properties enjoys this amazing location within rolling Staffordshire moorlands and within easy reach of the Peak District National Park. The main house has been the family home for its owners, Chris and Nancy, for the past two years.

“We were looking for a new adventure and wished to create a family business with our daughter and family, in this rural part the country. After a long hard search, we were delighted to find The Hermitage in such an idyllic location, alongside its traditional historic properties and came to live here just over two years ago. The historic and unique main house, which is over five hundred years of age, has been tastefully restored into a striking private residence containing requirements and luxuries for a modern-day lifestyle. With its oak beams and inglenook fireplace, it is an exceptionally comfortable home. Our spacious garden is extremely private and a wonderful place in which to relax after busy days.”

“The other properties on the complex also required lots of t.l.c but, having essential skills working with artisan tradesmen, we have carefully restored and enhanced them into delightful individual cottages in which people like to come and stay to enjoy and explore the magnificent surroundings. We also have a spacious barn which contains many facilities for our guests. The location offers plentiful opportunities to to walk in the local surrounding countryside, or to visit many of the fascinating and varied locations within easy reach”

“Although beautifully tucked away, we are within easy reach of a wealth of amenities essential for day to day living, including schools, shops and supermarkets. Ipstones is our nearest convenient village and does contain a brilliant local butcher. There are also sociable pubs and its annual Agricultural Show is a popular event. Stoke-on-Trent is our closest large town and, apart from being famous for its historic potteries, it is where larger shops and other facilities are located. In addition, both road and rail networks are convenient and from nearby Blyth Bridge, we can be in the centre of London within two hours.”

“It is for logistical reasons and to follow a lifelong dream that we are saying farewell to our wonderful home in this wondrous location. We wish its new owners much happiness and contentment.”*
