Description

This smallholding presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a comprehensive renovation project. Nestled within approximately 9.22 acres (3.731 hectares) of productive pastureland, the property includes an array of buildings that offer significant potential for redevelopment or repurposing to meet various needs. The farmhouse, boasting four bedrooms, serves as the centerpiece of this estate and requires modernization throughout. Its current layout features essential living spaces such as a kitchen, living room, dining room, and bathroom, along with cellar and attic rooms that could be transformed into additional functional areas. This characterful property provides a blank canvas for someone envisioning a distinctive rural retreat. Additionally, the established vegetable garden located east of the farmhouse adds to the charm and utility of this setting. The surrounding land comprises several gently sloping pasture fields, enhanced by mature hedgerows that provide both privacy and aesthetic appeal. The buildings on the property include various structures suitable for agricultural or storage uses. Notable examples are a former cattle barn with loft space and multiple workshops that can cater to diverse activities or hobbies. Each building has its own character and potential for revitalization, allowing new owners to create spaces tailored to their specific requirements. Situated conveniently near Marchington village and just over three miles from Uttoxeter town center, residents will have access to local amenities, educational institutions, and major road networks like the A50 and A38—making it well-connected yet peacefully rural. This property is sold freehold with vacant possession upon completion. Currently occupied under a grazing license until October 2025, prospective buyers should explore options for future use or enhancements according to their vision. Overall, this smallholding is not just a residential opportunity; it is an investment poised for significant growth through thoughtful renovation in an appealing location.
