Residing within the tranquil village of Marchington is Porters Farm, an elegant detached Victorian farmhouse set within an established 0.25 acre garden plot bordering the village cricket club. Presenting potential to extend, this three bedroom former farmhouse dates back to 1896 and retains a wealth of beautifully preserved character throughout, including Minton tiles to the reception hall, original doors and architraves, reconditioned sash windows and traditional fireplaces. The interiors have been thoughtfully refurbished to complement this exceptional Victorian residence, to include a remodelled and refitted kitchen, a remodelled bathroom and landscaping to the courtyard, with planning permission already in place for a single storey extension to add a cloakroom and pantry to the ground floor.
Presently, the interiors comprise central reception hall, stunning open plan dining kitchen and spacious sitting room to the ground floor, with three bedrooms (two doubles) to the first floor serviced by a four piece family bathroom. Outside, a courtyard garden wraps around the farmhouse, having a sunny south-west facing seating area, gravelled terraces and mature foliage providing privacy to all sides. There is pedestrian access into the detached single garage, and a pathway leads to a useful workshop and in turn to a mature orchard, offering plenty of scope to landscape as desired. Porters Farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property of this calibre in this most desirable and peaceful village location.
Porters Farm lies in the heart of Marchington, combining the ideals of a peaceful village location and picturesque surrounding countryside alongside convenient access to local amenities and commuter links. The premier Staffordshire village of Marchington is home to a church, a traditional pub, a village hall, tennis courts, a cricket pitch, a bowling green and an award-winning community shop, all within a few minutes’ walk of Porters Farm. A short drive away is Draycott in the Clay, offering a village store/post office, additional pubs and a farm shop, with larger facilities including supermarkets, a train station and a leisure centre found in the market town of Uttoxeter. A highly regarded primary school in the village feeds into Uttoxeter’s middle and high schools, and there are a superb choice of private schools including Denstone College, Abbotsholme and Lichfield Cathedral. The village offers easy access to commuter routes including the A50, A38, M6 Toll and M1, direct rail links to Birmingham and London (in 90 minutes) can be found in the Cathedral City of Lichfield or East Midlands Parkway, and the International airports of East Midlands, Birmingham and Manchester are all within an easy drive.
