A truly outstanding and historic family home extending to over 8,150 square feet and sitting within formal gardens of approximately 0.8 of an acre at the heart of this popular Staffordshire village. One of only a handful of homes within Whittington to offer such vast and sumptuous family accommodation perfectly blending practical family living space with the opulent twists of grandeur that a house of this importance should possess.

The upper floors offer seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, sauna room and enormous loft storage with a thoroughly impressive landing boasting a stunning stone mullion stained glass window flooding the grandest of central staircases with natural light.

The ground floor echoes the grandeur of the upper floors with an impressive reception hall, formal dining room, drawing room, sitting room/study.
