This captivating, four-bedroom Victorian stone property spans three floors and is filled with loveable eccentricities harking back to its varied past.

Welcome - Packed to the rafters with history, Rock House is a characterful Victorian stone property in the lakeside village of Rudyard. Throughout the decades, since around 1860, the building has taken several different forms as a pub, post office and grocery store. Unlike other properties in the area, Rock House stands out from the crowd with its sheer size, unique gardens and charming period features that include original fireplaces and exposed beamed ceilings.

Standing beneath a leafy canopy of mature trees with front-facing, dramatic views across the Staffordshire Moorlands, Rock House boasts an impressive setting. As you approach the property, follow the lane that runs alongside the house to a spacious off-road parking area where at least four cars can fit comfortably.

Enchanting Gardens - As you access the rear tiered gardens they immediately grab your attention with their meandering walkways and stone steps that wind among exciting nooks and crannies. Tall stone walls and the surrounding woodland create a large degree of privacy here.

Head to the lower garden tier where an enchanting "cave" cries out to be transformed into a quirky bar with outside WC - perfect for entertaining friends and family and enjoying a few drinks in your own private hideaway. For a spot of alfresco dining, sit out on the middle tier which is laid to slate or soak up the spectacular views from the top tier and lawned area.

A further surprise lies in store with an outdoor stone building spanning two floors. Subject to planning permission, the outbuilding has scope to be converted into a potential holiday let, which is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy the local amenities of Rudyard and the many local walks.

Cottage Style Living - Enter Rock House via the ground floor where several rooms lead off from the entrance hall. Step into the lounge, which radiates a quaint cottage-like charm with its original brick fire surround and stone hearth where you can imagine spending wintry evenings curled up by the fire.

Return to the entrance hall to access the open-plan kitchen and family room. Filled with light and enjoying countryside views from the front elevation, this is a social hub where you can linger over family breakfasts as the log burner crackles and the smell of homecooked food wafts through the air. The wooden flooring and exposed beams add even more charm to this cheerful space.

Tucked away to the rear of the ground floor is a utility room, WC and a vaulted study, which also makes a peaceful summer room when it's warm enough to open the doors to the garden and invite the outdoors in.

Charming Rooms At The Top - From the entrance hall, step upstairs to the first floor landing which leads to two spacious bedrooms, a family shower room, and a pretty muntin window framing country views. The master bedroom steals the show with its original cast iron fireplace and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 also features a cast iron fireplace and a dressing area.

Return to the landing and climb the stairs to explore the second floor where you'll find a study area and two further bedrooms. In each of the bedrooms there's a small arched window and exposed beamed ceiling, and a miniature door leading to storage space is reminiscent of a scene from Alice in Wonderland.
