About this property
Characterful south-facing farmhouse with outbuildings/workshops set in just under an acre of gardens.
Three generous double bedrooms including air-conditioned ground-floor master.
Planning permission for converting adjoining outbuildings and rebuilding the farmhouse provide many flexible opportunities. Permission includes sustainable features.
Extensive outbuildings to support working from home, gardeners and hobbyists alike. Generous gardens perfect for exploring, playing and relaxing.
Solar panels, battery storage and EV charger installed at property.
A warm character filled heart to the home, the kitchen is designed for busy family life and cosy evenings.
Fernlea Farm is a characterful south-facing country home with space, charm and exciting potential, ready to welcome you to make it your own. Set within a generous plot in the peaceful rural village of Foxt, this wonderful property combines the beauty of its natural surroundings with characterful original features and thoughtful modern touches. With planning permission already granted for extensive works including the renovation of two adjoining outbuildings, Fernlea Farm offers an exciting opportunity to create something truly special.
Step through the front door and you are welcomed into a spacious, open-plan lounge and kitchen. Exposed beams, an exposed brick end wall and a log burner create a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere, while the kitchen sits comfortably at the heart of the home. Duck-egg-blue cabinetry provides plenty of storage, complemented by a solid wood worktop and a range cooker. For all those practicalities, there is a useful utility room and cloakroom, keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away. The hall provides a wonderful setting for mealtimes and entertaining, with plenty of room for a large dining table. From here, a door leads through to the garden room, where original quarry tiles and views across the garden create a peaceful retreat. Currently used as an office, this is an inspiring and light space to think, read or relax. The ground floor is home to the generous master bedroom, a large double with a pleasant outlook over the garden. This room is air-conditioned, a vital addition given our hotter summers. A shower room completes the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, providing plenty of space for children or guests, alongside a family bathroom with a shower-over-bath combination.
Fernlea Farm offers vast potential, providing an exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional home tailored to your own tastes and requirements. Designed with flexible options, planning permission has already been granted to renovate the two outbuildings adjoining the property, offering an exciting opportunity to significantly enhance the accommodation. Whether you dream of additional bedrooms, a home office, a creative space or somewhere for extended family, the possibilities are open.
Externally, the property has numerous workshops and outbuildings. These include two adjoining workshops (with abovementioned planning permission to convert). Opposite the house there is an open-faced barn comprising parking for two vehicles with boarded storage over, expansive log shed and third bay large enough for storing a caravan. The property is supported by a solar panel array, large battery and EV charger in the carport.
In the garden there is a stone and brick-built outbuilding (originally a piggery) which includes a potting shed, storage workshop for garden equipment and a further studio/workshop currently used for working from home.
Generous grounds offer plenty of room to enjoy nature at its finest. Native mature shrubs, established trees and hedgerows support the Staffordshire wildlife and provide a private and natural setting. There is a nature pond which is visited each year by many species throughout the spring and summer. There is plentiful space here (the property is set in approximately one acre) for families to explore and play, or find a quiet spot to sit back and enjoy the fresh country air.
Fernlea Farm is situated in Foxt, a peaceful village in the Staffordshire Moorlands, where tranquillity and community go hand in hand. A traditional village pub provides the perfect destination after a leisurely Sunday walk, while the nearby market towns of Cheadle and Leek offer a wider range of supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. For families, there is a choice of well-regarded schools in the surrounding area, while some of the region's favourite attractions are within easy reach. Enjoy a journey through the countryside on the Churnet Valley Railway, discover the wildlife at Peak Wildlife Park or spend a day at Alton Towers, all conveniently close by. Book your viewing today.
Please note there is currently planning permission for the conversion of the attached barn to a two bedroom annex adjoining the house. Planning permission also includes the demolition and rebuilding of the existing farmhouse, installation of solar-array, and grey-water harvest system.
