Set within a tranquil rural landscape, this substantial property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a character-rich four-bedroom semi-detached farmhouse complete with a versatile first-floor annex, set within 3.22 acres of paddock, amenity land, and mature woodland.<\/p>\n
Arranged over three storeys, the main farmhouse showcases striking period features, including traditional fireplaces and exposed oak beams. Having sat vacant for a number of years, the residence now requires modernization throughout. The independent first-floor annex provides additional flexibility and serves as an ideal space for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a holiday-let venture.<\/p>\n
Externally, the property is defined by its peaceful open-countryside setting. An access track neatly divides the grounds, separating 1.88 acres of well-maintained paddock land\u2014perfect for equestrian or hobby-farming enthusiasts\u2014from 0.90 acres of private woodland complete with its own natural pond.<\/p>\n
Due to the impressive scale of the main house, annex, and surrounding acreage, the estate offers significant potential for alternative uses beyond a private residence. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, the property could adapt into a healthcare facility, retirement complex, or assisted living.<\/p>\n
(Please note: The property known as the ‘Fishing House’ was previously part of the wider estate and has been sold separately; it is explicitly excluded from this sale.)<\/p>\n
Location:<\/p>\n
Priory Farm is situated off Uttoxeter Road on the outskirts of the rural village of Blithbury, Staffordshire, adjacent to the River Blythe and close to the Blithbury Reservoir. Local convenience shopping and essential amenities are easily accessed in the nearby villages of Hill Ridware and Kings Bromley, while comprehensive retail, dining, and healthcare services are available in the neighbouring market town of Rugeley and the historic cathedral city of Lichfield. The property benefits from a well-connected local transport network, with Rugeley Trent Valley (approximately 4.6 kilometres away) and Rugeley Town mainline railway stations providing direct rail links, alongside an excellent regional road network that includes swift access to the A515, A51, A38, M6, and M6 Toll. Educational requirements are well served by local schooling options, including primary provision in the surrounding villages such as Hill Ridware, secondary choices within Rugeley\u2014such as the newly established all-through Rugeley John Taylor School\u2014and specialist education right on the doorstep at Rugeley School in Blithbury.<\/p>\n
