Description

Welcome to The Old Farmhouse, a place where comfortable countryside living meets timeless character in perfect harmony. Set within a sizeable 0.65-acre plot, this three-bedroom detached home is surrounded by 360-degree gardens and countryside views yet remains exceptionally well-connected to great commuter links.
Step inside to a generously sized living room with dual-aspect windows and a feature stone fire surround. The dining room presents a versatile space ideal for dining with family, a playroom for little ones, or the potential to extend into the kitchen/diner (STNPP); it also boasts direct access into a quiet study. The kitchen/diner houses plenty of traditional cabinetry with storage spaces and room for appliances, plus a beautiful stable door leading into an L-shaped conservatory that overlooks the garden. Completing the ground floor is a handy under-stairs storage space and a W/C.
Upstairs is home to two generously sized double bedrooms and one single bedroom, including a master bedroom with its own dressing space and potential to add an en suite (STNPP). The bathroom has traditional tiling, a bath, a separate shower, a sink, and a W/C.
The gardens surround the entirety of this home with stunning and beautifully maintained grass lawns, mature hedging and shrubbery and patio seating spaces. A gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads seamlessly to a double garage, which is perfect for secure storage.
Location
Despite its rural setting, the home remains exceptionally well connected. Excellent transport links provide easy access to the A51, connecting you to Stafford and Stone, while the A50 offers convenient routes to Uttoxeter, Derby, and beyond. Nearby train stations at Stafford, Stone, and Uttoxeter further enhance accessibility, making commuting or travel effortless.
Weston lies a few miles east of Stafford and is another delightful Staffordshire village running alongside the Trent & Mersey canal and is known for its thriving community spirit centred around the village green. It boasts well-regarded village pubs, and local events.
Nearby schools are well-regarded, and the surrounding countryside — including Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation.
Combining scenic surroundings, historic charm, and modern convenience, Weston remains as one of Staffordshire’s most desirable places to live.
