6 bedroom detached house for sale

The House
Tittensor Chase is approached via electric gates leading to a sweeping driveway through its gardens and grounds.

The house was originally built for the Duke of Sutherland in 1856 and was part of the Trentham Estate. Today it makes a wonderful family home while maintaining plenty of period features.

The ceiling heights and rooms are all of excellent proportions, with many windows retaining working shutters. There are ample working fireplaces throughout the house and solid hardwood flooring.

The current owners have helped future-proof the house by adding a large family breakfast room to the kitchen with a log burner and doors leading into the garden.

The house also benefits from a good size wine cellar.

Upstairs the principal bedroom has a large walk-in dressing room and an en suite bathroom.

There are a further three bedrooms in the main house, all with en suite/Jack and Jill bathrooms.

The excellent ceiling height is continued upstairs, and the majority of the bedrooms have far-reaching views over the adjoining grounds and countryside beyond.
