Description

Nestled in a tranquil corner of the Staffordshire countryside, this distinctive property sits on approximately 5 acres of its own private grounds, complete with woodland and a serene lake. Located on the outskirts of Upper Longdon, this home offers an unparalleled opportunity for buyers looking to enhance a unique residence. The property features a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area with full-height windows that capture breathtaking water views and connect seamlessly to a well-appointed kitchen with traditional lodge-style finishes. The layout includes three generously-sized bedrooms on the first floor, each with access to en suite facilities, providing ample potential for modernisation or redesign to suit personal tastes. Notably, a significant feature is the indoor heated swimming pool complex which could benefit from refurbishment to transform it into a luxurious recreational space. Outside, expansive woodland envelops the property, creating multiple opportunities for landscaping and enhancement of outdoor living areas. A substantial brick-built boathouse and timber storage shed offer potential for conversion or repurposing. While currently functional, many elements of Trout Lodge would benefit from aesthetic updates or structural improvements, making it an excellent candidate for renovation projects aimed at increasing both comfort and value. With previous planning permission granted for a detached garage that has since lapsed, there’s further scope to expand or modify the site as desired. This property not only represents an attractive home but also serves as an investment opportunity in a sought-after rural location.
