Welcome to Coley Villa; a truly magnificent five bedroom Georgian residence advised to date back to the early 1800's, steeped in history and seamlessly blending abundant characterful charm with contemporary excellence.

Coley Lane is a charming residential location nestled in the picturesque village of Little Haywood.

The village itself has a strong community spirit and provides everyday conveniences including three welcoming pubs, a restaurant, village hall (hosting regular social and fitness events), and nearby primary schools, with both Church of England and Roman Catholic affiliations. For broader amenities, the neighbouring villages of Great Haywood and Colwich offer an array of shops, a post office, doctor’s surgery, private dental care, a chemist, farm shop, and popular canal-side café at the historic Great Haywood Junction.

Cultural and historical interests are catered for with the nearby Shugborough Estate, offering parkland walks, events, tea rooms, and boutique shops.

Commuters will have no difficulty, with direct rail services from Stafford and Lichfield Trent Valley to London Euston and Birmingham. Major road links include the M6, M6 Toll, A5, and A38. The area benefits from access to reputable independent and state schools notably Stafford Grammar School, Denstone College, and St Bede’s Preparatory School, making it a desirable location for families seeking a balance of countryside living and convenience.

The accommodation boasts impressive dimensions and a wealth of natural light flooding throughout, and is set across four floors. A fully converted cellar is split between two rooms and now serves as both a flexible cosy snug and superb additional storage facility, whilst the first floor features plenty of living space and a tasteful, traditional-style kitchen/diner. Three of the five bedrooms and the attractive main bathroom can be found to the first floor, before finally reaching the second floor, with the two final generous bedrooms and an additional WC, with each of the four front-facing bedrooms enjoying breathtaking distant views over the Staffordshire countryside.

A substantial barn complex/quadruple garage offers high-quality, flexible accommodation suitable for various uses, whilst impeccably kept main grounds are accompanied by a separate 1.4 acre field to make up the property's spectacular plot.
