Hanchurch House, Stoke-On-Trent, ST4 8SD

Heywoods Estate Agent are excited to welcome to the market Hanchurch House, Hanchurch, Stoke-on-Trent.

Steeped in history, character and individuality, this remarkable six bedroom detached residence is believed to have once formed the gatehouse to the Swynnerton Estate and was formerly known as Brook Cottages.

Today, the property combines the charm of its period origins with substantial, versatile accommodation and an impressive degree of privacy.

Set within extensive grounds and surrounded by mature woodland, Hanchurch House occupies a secluded position with no immediately overlooking properties.

A private gated driveway winds through the grounds and across a bridge over the stream, opening onto generous parking and hardstanding areas.

The setting creates an exceptional sense of arrival, with established trees, lawns and a variety of useful outbuildings complementing the main residence.

These are currently utilised as dog kennels and a dog grooming facility but could lend themselves to a wide range of alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents.

An integral garage provides further secure parking or storage. Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and highly adaptable.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to a generous separate living room, an office and the principal family accommodation.

The living room is particularly well proportioned and enjoys an abundance of natural light from windows and glazed doors positioned along several elevations.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area, where painted ceiling beams, a substantial exposed timber and contemporary finishes sit comfortably alongside one another.

The kitchen has been updated with an attractive range of deep blue cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances.

A wide opening connects the kitchen to the dining area, creating an excellent space for family meals and entertaining, with glazed doors opening directly onto the garden.

The adjoining family room offers a more relaxed living space and retains some of the property’s most appealing period details, including exposed stonework, heavy timber beams and a character fireplace.

The flowing arrangement between the family room, dining area and kitchen provides a sociable layout while retaining clearly defined spaces.

A pantry, cloakroom and useful storage complete the practical ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor provides six bedrooms arranged across the property’s extensive footprint, together with a conveniently positioned utility and laundry room.

The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms are served by their own en-suite shower rooms.

The remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for children, guests, hobbies or additional home-working space.

Each room has its own character, with pleasant outlooks across the surrounding gardens and mature trees. Outside, the grounds are a defining feature of Hanchurch House.

Lawned gardens and sitting areas surround the property, while mature planting and established woodland provide shelter and privacy.

A variety of outbuildings, currently used as dog kennels and for dog grooming, offer excellent versatility and could be adapted for a multitude of alternative purposes, subject to any necessary consents.

The extensive driveway and parking areas are also well suited to a large household or multiple vehicles.

Despite its wonderfully private and rural atmosphere, the property remains exceptionally convenient for Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and the wider road and motorway network.

Trentham Gardens, Trentham Golf Club, countryside walks, bridleways and popular local pubs are all within easy reach.

Hanchurch House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in an outstanding private setting.

Its generous proportions, flexible layout, character features and extensive grounds can only be fully appreciated through an internal viewing.
