Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Pool Meadows Farm is a charming period semi-detached farmhouse, believed to date back to around 1850, occupying an enviable and exceptionally picturesque position on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Bagnall, within the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands. Set within approximately eight acres of grounds, the property offers an exceptional combination of traditional farmhouse character, equestrian facilities, extensive land and significant further residential potential.

The farmhouse itself provides traditional and characterful accommodation arranged over two floors, with a wealth of original features and a warm, homely atmosphere throughout. An entrance porch and hallway lead into a cosy lounge positioned to the front of the property, featuring a multi-fuel stove and enjoying views towards the front yard and outbuildings.

The hallway continues through to the dining room, which occupies a pleasant rear aspect and retains an original quarry-tiled floor. A particular focal point is the oil-fired Stanley range, which provides the central heating and hot water, as well as offering a traditional cooking facility. From the dining room, a door leads into the farmhouse kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and enjoys views across the rear garden.

The kitchen leads into a useful utility room, which in turn provides access to a further sitting room. This additional reception space features an attractive exposed brick fireplace housing an open fire, creating a cosy and characterful room with a wealth of potential uses. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double room positioned to the front of the property, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the front yard and outbuildings. Bedroom two is another comfortable double bedroom, positioned to the rear and enjoying views across the garden and surrounding grounds. Bedroom three is a cosy single bedroom, which would also lend itself perfectly to use as a home office, nursery or dressing room.

The bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring a freestanding clawfoot slipper bath and finished to an attractive standard, creating a relaxing and timeless space in keeping with the character of the farmhouse.

Outside, Pool Meadows Farm truly comes into its own. The property is surrounded by approximately eight acres of land, providing an exceptional level of privacy, versatility and potential. The grounds incorporate two substantial grazing paddocks, enclosed by established hedged and fenced boundaries, together with a brook meandering alongside the land and adding to the property's rural appeal.

The front yard is home to two substantial stone-built barns and a stable block, both of which benefit from full planning permission for conversion to residential accommodation. The former shippon has approved plans for conversion to an impressive three-bedroom residential property, complete with a large private garden. Alongside this is a further sizeable barn and stable block, which together benefit from planning permission for conversion to a four-bedroom residential property.

These approved schemes present an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create additional dwellings, subject to the implementation of the existing planning permissions, making Pool Meadows Farm particularly attractive to those seeking a multigenerational living arrangement, additional accommodation, holiday letting potential or an investment opportunity.

The land also benefits from a rubber-topped ménage, positioned off one of the grazing paddocks, together with a useful tractor store which could lend itself to a variety of uses. The equestrian facilities, paddocks and extensive grounds provide considerable appeal for those with horses, livestock or an interest in rural pursuits.

Immediately to the rear of the farmhouse is a private and enclosed garden, providing a pleasant area for outdoor seating and entertaining. A driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a single garage.

Situated on the outskirts of the much-admired village of Bagnall, Pool Meadows Farm enjoys a wonderfully peaceful rural setting while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities. The popular Stafford Arms is within pleasant walking distance, whilst the nearby village of Endon is just a short drive away and provides a range of amenities, excellent schooling, shops, public houses, restaurants and the popular Greenway Hall Golf Club.

Pool Meadows Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period farmhouse set within approximately eight acres, with equestrian facilities, substantial stone barns and the considerable benefit of full planning permission for two additional residential conversions. Combining rural tranquillity, period charm, extensive land and significant development potential, this is an exceptional Staffordshire Moorlands property with enormous scope for the future.

Outside - The grounds are undoubtedly one of the outstanding features of Pool Meadows Farm, extending to approximately eight acres and providing an exceptional combination of privacy, rural character and versatility. The land wraps around the farmhouse and comprises two generous grazing paddocks, enclosed by established hedging and fencing and incorporating a picturesque brook alongside through the grounds.

For equestrian enthusiasts, one of the paddocks benefits from a rubber-topped ménage, together with a useful tractor store offering excellent storage and versatility. The acreage also provides considerable scope for keeping horses, livestock or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.

To the rear of the farmhouse is a private and enclosed garden, providing a peaceful setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Alongside the garden there is a driveway providing off road parking and a detached single garage. The front yard area offers further parking facility and access to the substantial stone-built barns which have planning in place for conversion to further residential accommodation.

The combination of formal garden, paddocks, equestrian facilities, mature boundaries, brook and extensive open land creates an exceptionally attractive outdoor environment rarely found with a property of this type.

Unit 1 Proposed Barn Conversion - Unit 1 comprises the proposed conversion of the existing stone-built shippon, which benefits from planning permission for conversion to an attractive three-bedroom residential dwelling. The proposed property has been thoughtfully designed to retain the character and traditional appearance of the existing barn, whilst creating a comfortable modern home.

The scheme also provides a sizeable private rear garden, together with dedicated parking on the front yard, offering an excellent combination of outdoor space and convenient off-road parking.

Unit 2 Proposed Barn Conversion - Unit 2 comprises the proposed conversion of an existing stone-built barn together with the adjacent stable block, which are to be combined to create a substantial four-bedroom detached residential dwelling.

The proposed conversion offers an exciting opportunity to create a spacious and characterful home, retaining the traditional stone-built appearance of the existing buildings whilst providing modern residential accommodation.

There is currently no specific garden allocation designated to Unit 2, providing the future owner with flexibility and discretion over how the surrounding land is divided and what extent of garden or outdoor space is ultimately incorporated within the proposed dwelling. This offers an additional opportunity to tailor the external arrangements to suit individual requirements.
