Groups Will Love...
The exposed beams and original stonework define this Staffordshire barn conversion. Stone walls run throughout the property showing the building's agricultural past. High vaulted ceilings in the living areas create generous space under the original roof structure. Traditional beams cross the ceilings in the bedrooms. The open plan ground floor showcases how the barn's working bones have been preserved whilst creating comfortable modern living spaces.
Pet Friendly
The Coach House does not accept pets. The property sits on a working farm with livestock present in surrounding fields. This means dogs cannot be accommodated for safety reasons.
