5 bed detached house for sale

Frith House, Hot Lane, Biddulph Moor, Staffordshire Moorlands ST8

Welcome to Frith House.

An 1850's stone built, detached family residence, which is a hidden gem within the local community, set within the most spectacular private and expansive grounds. Embellished in history, this spectacular, one-of-a-kind home boasts charming and original features throughout. These features have been sympathetically restored, extended and cared for over the years, to ensure the character that sits within the bones of this Victorian property remain untouched. Although an imposing property, on approach, you will require a good eye to spot it, sitting proudly upon substantial plot, which is set back from the roadside, behind established hedges and electric gates. The property itself is extensive, benefitting from spacious and flexible living. Opening a restored church door, you are welcomed home into the recently built stone porch, an ideal place to store those muddy wellies and coats after a long country walk. The entrance hall leads off and is a grand space, enjoying high ceilings and a 'switchback' staircase leading up to the second floor, boasting an original arch window. There are three reception rooms for the family to enjoy, all of which are generous sizes, and have been used for a multitude of uses over the years to entertain and host. There is also a large kitchen to make the most of, boasting ample wooden units, granite worktops and integrated appliances, with the added benefit of a separate utility room and WC. Head up the stairs where there are plenty more rooms to uncover, with four double bedrooms, a four-piece family bathroom, matching ensuite and another WC. Step outside where there are stunning gardens to escape the stress of everyday life. The gardens have been designed by a rhs silver gilt winner and are a beautiful tranquil space to enjoy all year through. They have been designed with separate sections to explore, including a hidden 'den' slide, a stone gazebo, a large paved patio and a relaxing oval terrace.
