Just a 10-minute drive from the town of Leek, the ancient village of Cheddleton lies within the picturesque Staffordshire Moorlands. Churnet House is fortunate to be embraced by a two acre plot, which is home to some of the area’s local wildlife, making it a perfect location for families with children who love being outdoors. As you pull onto the driveway, which comfortably accommodates up to four cars, you’ll notice a double garage

and entrance hall that sits beneath a large window on the first floor. Step into the reception hall where a beautiful wooden staircase and doors immediately give you an idea of the stylish design that flows throughout this unique home.

There are three doorways that lead off into the garage on your left, a gym/games room and a spacious utility room with units, a sink and plumbing for a washing machine. Walk through to the games room to access a WC and two good-sized storerooms. Owing to the size of the ground floor, you might consider using the space as a selfcontained office or an integral annex for a teenager or

elderly relative (subject to planning permission).

Return to the reception hall and follow the stairs up to the first floor. This is where Churnet House really impresses you with its open-plan design. The expansive floorto-ceiling window gives the landing a wow factor that you can’t ignore and floods the space with light. This makes a great area for lounging on an oversized beanbag as you read the morning papers.

To your right, walk through to the lounge, a large, light-filled space that sits beneath the mezzanine landing of the second floor. This adds a real sense of character to the room as well as the feature fireplace

which mingles effortlessly with the contemporary design. The piece de resistance is the glass-framed balcony

that affords show-stopping views over the rooftops and the countryside beyond. Imagine evening drinks with friends or a quiet hour in the morning, sipping hot coffee as you listen to the dawn chorus.

Make you way back along the landing and through the double doorway into the open-plan kitchen diner. Glossy tiled flooring, a dining island and sleek white units integrated with state-of-the-art appliances create a showy yet elegant hub that completes this contemporary, family home. No expense has been spared and

the underfloor heating simply adds to the luxurious touches. Behind you is an additional dining space, suited to family breakfasts on the weekend or more formal evening meals.

Step through the French doors and into the sizeable garden, an enchanting space with lots of little nooks

and crannies to explore. This extended garden area is a huge draw for Churnet House as it attracts various species of birds and a whole host of other wildlife throughout the year. And the further up you explore, the greater the surrounding views.

Return to the landing and climb the second flight of stairs to the second floor where four generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom greet you. Both the master bedroom and second bedroom benefit from en-suite shower rooms and garden views.
