Description

Private Luxury Property are thrilled to bring to market a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful farmhouse with an extensive range of traditional and modern outbuildings, set within approximately 172 acres of idyllic Staffordshire countryside in the heart of The National Forest, with excellent access to Burton upon Trent, Lichfield and major road networks.

Lower Lynbrook Farm presents an exceptional and highly versatile rural estate, offering a wonderful balance of lifestyle, income potential and future opportunity. Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a peaceful setting within the rural hamlet of Newchurch, this impressive holding extends to approximately 172 acres in total, creating a substantial private estate in a superb rural setting.

At the heart of the property sits a substantial and characterful four-bedroom farmhouse, enjoying delightful views across its own land and surrounding countryside. Full of warmth and charm, the home offers generous family accommodation arranged over two floors, blending period character with practical modern living.

The welcoming ground floor includes a spacious lounge/dining room with feature brick fireplace and doors opening onto the garden, a separate formal dining room with cast iron fireplace, a cosy snug with beamed ceiling and Victorian-style fireplace, and a large farmhouse kitchen fitted with a central island, Everhot range cooker, integrated appliances and stone tiled flooring. A utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring doors opening onto a private balcony with panoramic countryside views, together with a spacious en suite bathroom. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, creating excellent accommodation for family life.

Outside, the farmhouse is approached via a long private farm drive, with gardens positioned to two sides of the home, mainly laid to lawn with mature borders, trees and patio seating areas ideal for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

A significant feature of Lower Lynbrook Farm is the extensive range of traditional and modern farm buildings, offering enormous flexibility for agricultural, equestrian, storage, business or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. These include brick courtyard buildings, garages, workshops, kennels, timber stabling with tack room, machinery stores, livestock buildings, former dairy parlours, silage clamps and further agricultural structures.

The land is predominantly pasture with areas of woodland, providing excellent opportunities for farming, equestrian use, leisure pursuits or environmental schemes. The estate also includes a well-stocked fishing pond, adding further appeal to this outstanding rural holding.

With its expansive acreage, strategic location and established buildings, the estate offers significant scope for enhancement and future development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The scale and versatility of the holding could lend itself to a range of lifestyle or commercial opportunities, including the creation of luxury leisure facilities such as a private gym, spa or indoor pool, equestrian facilities with paddocks and stabling, tennis or padel courts, a helipad, private retreat accommodation, boutique country estate use, or even the creation of a private golf course.

Positioned adjoining St George's Park, the home of the Football Association’s national training centre, Lower Lynbrook Farm enjoys a truly unique setting that combines the prestige of a world-class sporting neighbour with the peace, privacy and beauty of a rural sanctuary. St George’s Park is also home to the luxurious Hilton at St George's Park, offering a wide range of first-class facilities including a spa, swimming pool, gymnasium, restaurants, bars, meeting and event spaces, and luxury accommodation. The property also lies close to 490 acres of public woodland, including the picturesque Jackson Bank at Hoar Cross.

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the estate remains exceptionally well connected. Nearby Barton-under-Needwood and Yoxall provide everyday amenities including shops, cafés, pubs, doctors’ surgery, pharmacy and post office facilities. Burton upon Trent, Lichfield and Tamworth offer rail services with direct links to major cities, while the A38 provides swift access to Derby, Birmingham and beyond. Both Birmingham Airport and East Midlands Airport are readily accessible.

The property is also exceptionally well placed for schooling, offering access to a range of highly regarded primary and secondary options. These include Needwood Church of England Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding), Rangemore Primary School, and John Taylor High School in Barton-under-Needwood (Ofsted Outstanding).

For independent education, excellent options within easy reach include Denstone College and Repton School.

For leisure and wellness, Hoar Cross Hall—renowned for its award-winning spa, thermal experiences, state-of-the-art gym facilities and elegant country house setting—is located less than a 10-minute drive away, offering a luxurious retreat for relaxation and wellbeing, with a range of treatments, pools and wellness experiences available throughout the year.

A truly rare country estate offering scale, privacy, versatility and exceptional future potential within one of Staffordshire’s most desirable rural settings.
