About this property

Parkfields House is a splendid part of a substantial Georgian manor, situated within 3.5 acres of picturesque land in Tittensor, Staffordshire.

Boasting a grand canopied portico and rich period features, this historic home with links to Josiah Wedgwood offers off-road parking and welcomes pets, making it perfect for families or friends.

As you approach the house, you are greeted by a sweeping gravel driveway, beautifully framed by a lush border of copper beech, laurel, rhododendron, and mature trees.

Upon entering, your gaze is immediately drawn to the elegant staircase, which serves as the centrepiece of the triple-height, galleried reception hall.

Enter into the spacious kitchen, fully equipped for all your culinary needs.

Adjacent to this, you will find a handy utility room, complete with a WC, washing machine, and tumble dryer to ensure a hassle-free stay.

This elegant space also opens into a spacious, wood-framed conservatory, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the formal gardens, lawns, and surrounding countryside.

French doors lead out to the gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Outside, the expansive enclosed garden offers outdoor furniture for alfresco seating in a tranquil setting.

For those seeking a little friendly competition, the tennis court provides hours of fun, while the heated covered swimming pool invites you to take a soothing dip or enjoy the warmth during cooler evenings, all within the serene ambiance of your private oasis.

Afterwards, curl up in the sitting room, featuring a grand fireplace and an array of original details, including tall sash windows that overlook the gardens to the north and offer far-reaching countryside views to the west.

The super king-size bedroom with zip & link bed exudes elegance with its en-suite facilities. Featuring a chaise lounge, the king-sized bedroom is perfect for relaxing with a good book or enjoying a quiet moment, also including an en suite bathroom.

The remaining three bedrooms are equally as inviting, with views over mature trees and manicured lawns. All feature a super king-size zip and link bed, one with 2 pull out trundle beds, thus providing flexible sleeping arrangements.

A family bathroom with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin, and WC serves these rooms together with a separate WC.

Unwind with a gentle stroll through the serene Barlaston Downs and immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the surrounding area at the World of Wedgwood.

The National Trust's Downs Banks is a paradise for nature lovers and walkers, and Hanchurch Woods is another delightful haven showcasing the beauty of the English countryside. Cannock Chase is also only a short drive away.
