Oakland & Acorn, Colton Hall Farm, Blithbury Road, Colton, WS15

Set within an exclusive and select private setting amidst rolling Staffordshire countryside, Oakland is an exceptional barn conversion showcasing beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended interiors, four double bedrooms plus a one bedroom annexe, and established gardens enjoying tranquillity and delightful open views.

Boasting a rich history in the local area, Oakland previously formed part of the historic Colton Hall estate prior to its conversion, where a wealth of original character including beams, impressive tall ceilings and brickwork have been sympathetically retained. Modern additions include a stunning oak framed extension which offers additional living accommodation as well as the option for a self contained annexe, and this charming character home presents superb potential for multigenerational living, a live-in au pair or for those needing space for a home-based business.

This elegant countryside barn offers generously proportioned family interiors, with four reception rooms set within the main barn presenting plenty of space for entertaining or to suit a growing family. Four excellent double bedrooms are to the first floor all featuring beams and impressive vaulted ceilings, and the annexe which has affectionately been titled Acorn, comprises an open plan living and dining kitchen plus a spacious en suite bedroom, all overlooking pleasant garden views and an open aspect to the front.

Established gardens extend to both the front and rear of the barn, highlighting the peaceful location and idyllic views over surrounding countryside. The private drive leads to a gravelled parking area where there is parking for a number of vehicles as well as a single garage, and the rear gardens are bordered by both character brick walls and a post and rail fence which highlights far-reaching countryside views. Oakland and Acorn are serviced by LPG central heating (2023 boiler), hardwood double glazed windows (2017) and a private drainage system servicing only this property.
