Buxton Road — Buxton Road

Springfield offers the rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty and accessibility, providing an exceptional lifestyle setting within one of Staffordshire’s most attractive and well connected rural locations. Springfield is a handsome Edwardian era detached residence, believed to have been built just prior to the 1900s. Rich in character and period detail, the house occupies a private and secluded setting, offering a rare combination of charm, space and privacy close to town amenities. The property is approached via electric gates, opening onto a long, sweeping driveway which meanders alongside a beautifully maintained lawned garden, flanked by mature trees that create a calm and sheltered approach. Ample off road parking is available for several vehicles, and the grounds immediately convey a sense of seclusion and established maturity. Behind its grand, whitewashed façade, the house opens into a welcoming reception hall where solid oak flooring and wide doorways immediately set the tone for the quality and craftsmanship found throughout. The sense of timeless elegance is reinforced by original features that evoke the building’s Edwardian heritage. From the hallway, a downstairs cloakroom with WC and useful storage cupboard is conveniently positioned. To the left, oak flooring flows seamlessly into the lounge, a beautifully proportioned room flooded with natural light from a classic bay window overlooking the front garden. A further glazed door draws in additional light from the side aspect and provides direct access to the gardens. Leading off the lounge is a charming study, subtly defined by oak panelling, creating an ideal home working environment with views onto the side garden. Returning to the hall, the formal dining room is a particular highlight, featuring original parquet flooring, exposed ceiling beams, wooden casement windows and a characterful hatch, all framing attractive views of the gardens beyond. Opposite lies the dining kitchen, fitted with Howdens cabinetry, wooden worktops and a tiled floor, complemented by a beamed ceiling that enhances the period feel. Appliances include an induction hob, oven, grill, dishwasher and fridge freezer, with scope to further enhance the space with a traditional range cooker if desired. The original pantry remains in place, complete with an old safe and plumbing for a washing machine, providing excellent additional storage. Beyond the kitchen lies the converted garage, now incorporated into the accommodation and currently used as a family and games room. With exposed brickwork and a fitted bar, this generous space lends itself perfectly to entertaining and socialising. Adjoining this room is a further WC, along with a garden room housing a hot tub, with sliding patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden. To the rear, French doors lead out into the extensive gardens, which possess a fairytale like quality. A generous lawn is bordered by established trees and shrubs, creating complete privacy, while a decked seating area provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A charming thatched wooden hut adds further character and offers a delightful spot for evening drinks. The gardens wrap around the house, enhancing the sense of space and seclusion. The first floor is arranged around a traditional landing and offers four bedrooms, along with a laundry room, family bathroom and separate shower room.
