Description
Set within beautifully landscaped gardens framed by far-reaching countryside views, the property delivers space, privacy and a true sense of rural calm. Inside, generous reception rooms and a charming country kitchen flow effortlessly through the home, while the adjoining office and utility room add practicality to its timeless character.
The extended accommodation offers exceptional versatility, perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking space for a home business. The two-storey annexe presents excellent potential for short-term rental income or professional use, offering independence while remaining seamlessly connected to the main residence.
Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed for enjoyment rather than endless maintenance. Mature planting, colourful floral borders and sun-trapped terraces create the ideal setting for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings.
Further enhancing the property are two substantial outbuildings. A brick-built barn with a tin roof measuring approximately 9.36m x 4.8m provides excellent additional storage or workshop potential, while the larger steel-framed portal building measuring approximately 12.7m x 10.5m currently houses the generator and biomass boiler, supporting the home’s established off-grid infrastructure. The property also offers potential to connect to mains electricity if desired, allowing future owners flexibility between sustainable independent living and conventional services.
Combining traditional charm with modern practicality, this is a home that balances countryside serenity with everyday convenience, surrounded by scenic walks and village life while remaining within easy reach of essential amenities, schools and transport links.
Location
Tean is a peaceful Staffordshire village that captures the essence of English countryside living. Nestled between the market towns of Uttoxeter and Cheadle, it offers the calm of rural life while keeping modern conveniences within easy reach.
The village itself has everything needed day-to-day, including a Co-op, pharmacy, café, fuel station, hairdresser and welcoming local pubs and takeaways. It has a genuine sense of community where neighbours stop to chat and local events bring people together.
Families appreciate the area for its excellent schools, including St Thomas’ Catholic Primary within the village and Painsley Catholic College in nearby Cheadle, both highly regarded. Cheadle also provides supermarkets, doctors, and leisure facilities, including a large swimming pool and fitness centre.
Surrounded by open Staffordshire countryside, Tean sits within reach of scenic walks, woodland trails and bridleways that stretch for miles. The village is perfectly placed for those who love nature and outdoor pursuits, while regular bus routes and nearby road links connect easily to Uttoxeter, Leek and Stoke-on-Trent for work or leisure.
It is a location that brings the best of both worlds, offering the space and stillness of the countryside with a friendly community and practical convenience close by.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
