Upton Farm House is a handsome country house found in a commanding, elevated position overlooking the Shropshire and Staffordshire plains. The property has been lovingly cared for, renovated, and extended by the current owners and now offers a wonderful period family home with a wealth of modern infrastructure.
A large central hallway provides an impressive entrance, connecting the primary rooms to the front, along with the kitchen breakfast room. The drawing room and sitting room both have beautiful sash windows, making the most of the south-easterly orientation. The drawing room has French doors out to landscaped gardens and a wonderful open fire. The sitting room has a log burning stove and connects through into the orangery which offers an excellent space over 27ft in length, linked on three sides to the landscaped grounds via French doors. Its large central lantern provides an abundance of natural light. This room is open plan into the kitchen breakfast room with central island, Esse range and granite worktops. Across the hallway from the kitchen is a useful utility room and shower room.
An impressive staircase leads to the large first floor landing which connects the five double bedrooms and family bathroom. Of particular note is the principal bedroom with its freestanding roll top bath, wonderful views and range of fitted wardrobes. A half landing provides a useful office area but could, subject to the necessary permissions, provide the perfect space for an en suite bathroom for the principal bedroom. The large family bathroom is beautifully fitted with twin sinks, a freestanding roll top bath and separate shower.
The Barns
Completed in 2021 to a beautiful standard, both barns currently provide generous office space totalling over 340sq.m. Great care has been taken during the conversion to preserve some wonderful period features including exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings and oak beams. The smaller of the two barns is single storey providing a large open plan vaulted office space with two further separate office rooms. These areas are complemented by a fitted kitchen, shower room and W.C. The larger of the barns has a wonderful central vaulted hallway with a reception area to one side and a large office space to the other. Stairs rise to a first floor landing with large vaulted office spaces on either side. This barn is complemented by three W.c's and a fitted kitchen.
The Olive Barn
Completed in 2021, The Olive Barn is a beautiful two bedroom barn conversion with a valuated open plan kitchen, dining, living space. The barn is complemented by a generous utility room and shower room. The Olive Barn is currently used as holiday let accommodation and provides an income stream. The two barns and The Olive Barn have a separate gated rear access to the house.
