Some homes whisper their history... Longford House positively tells a story. Believed to date back to circa 1706, this charming, detached property stands proudly along Teddesley Road, offering an exciting opportunity for those with imagination, ambition, and a passion for period living.

Set within an enviable plot of approximately 2.10 acres, the property provides a rare chance to create something truly special. While the house will need improvement, it already boasts a wealth of original features that could be beautifully restored and thoughtfully blended with modern enhancements to craft a home of real distinction.

Step inside and you are welcomed by an entrance hall, where doors lead to the principal reception rooms. The dining room offers a wonderful setting for entertaining, while the separate living room is rich in character, featuring an open fire grate nestled within an inglenook-style fireplace, complete with decorative brickwork, a wooden support pillar, and a traditional timber mantle. Decorative beams to the ceiling further enhance the room’s charm, and a door leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is a generously sized space, currently home to the original Rayburn, now retained as a decorative feature. From here, there is access to a useful utility/rear porch with an external door, along with stairs leading down to the cellar and a staircase rising to the first floor.

The cellar is an impressive space, comprising two rooms and offering excellent potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Upstairs, a wide turning staircase with a half landing showcases a window overlooking the grounds, providing a lovely connection to the surrounding land. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, including two particularly generous doubles, along with the bathroom.

Externally, the grounds are where Longford House truly shines. The plot extends to approximately 2.10 acres and is predominantly laid to lawn, presenting a blank canvas for keen gardeners or those seeking a more lifestyle-led outdoor space. A shared access driveway leads to the property, and within the grounds are two brick-built outbuildings attached to the house, offering further scope for development or storage.

There is also a third garage outbuilding, which currently requires extensive works to make safe and secure, though it houses a vehicle inspection pit and offers clear potential for those looking to restore or repurpose the structure.

The location is equally appealing. Penkridge is a highly regarded village, well known for its strong sense of community, and excellent local amenities. The bustling high street offers a variety of independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs, along with the ever-popular Penkridge Market. For commuters, there are convenient transport links including a railway station with direct routes to Stafford, Wolverhampton, and beyond, as well as easy access to the M6 motorway network. The surrounding Staffordshire countryside provides an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, making this an ideal setting for those seeking a balance between rural living and everyday convenience.
