Church Leigh is a picturesque village located in the county of Staffordshire, near the towns of Uttoxeter and Stoke-on-Trent. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to many historic buildings including the 12th century Church of St Margaret and the Grade II listed Old Rectory; the latter being known for its beautiful architecture and stunning gardens. Alton Towers Theme Park and Peak District National Park are within easy reach. The property lies 0.8 miles from the A50 which links to the M6 to the north-west and the Midlands to the south-east.
The Star Inn is a detached, brick built property that dates back to the late 19th century and retains many of its original features. It has a whitewashed exterior and sits under a pitched slate roof.

The business was previously leased but was returned to the owners in March 2025. Sales are currently in the region of £2,600 per week and are predominantly wet-led. The pub is hugely popular with the local community and residents of the surrounding areas, and hosts quiz nights and live music. It supports four darts teams and a cribbage team and is also frequented by the village football and cricket teams. There are monthly food nights when the kitchen is hired out to external chefs; food stalls and ‘horsebox’ catering are also offered. There is undoubted scope to develop the restaurant side of the business further, taking advantage of the property's rural location. It may also be possible to offer the first floor accommodation as a short-term holiday let, subject to the relevant permissions.
