This has to be, without a doubt, one of Staffordshire's finest and most distinctive residences.
The Georgian home, which is situated in Church Street, Tutbury, The Cliffe offers unique and character accommodation and has been lovingly cared for and has a layout and many distinctive features which make it family friendly.
The home is a perfect blend of traditional style and contemporary facilities and the accommodation includes six reception areas, a hand-crafted kitchen along with a butler's pantry, six bedrooms (three with en suite facilities), and a family bathroom.
The home sits within more than an acre of private landscaped grounds behind secure gates.
Here's what the seller had to say: "When we began our search for a new house around six years ago we were keen to find a large family home in a quiet village location, and we also needed it to be just a short distance from a good school.
"Our search took some time, but when we happened upon The Cliffe it just seemed to tick every box. Tutbury is a very nice village with a fantastic array of shops and amenities, and the property as a whole is quite simply absolutely stunning.
"This is a house that has been well loved by everyone who has lived here, and each owner has put their own mark on the property and really looked after it.
Dream homes
"It's been extensively modernised over the years sympathetic to the traditional features, and during our time here we too have made a few changes to enhance it further.
"We've totally renovated the exterior of the house, created a gorgeous master suite and we've also tried to restore a sense of balance in terms of the look and feel of the house as a whole, so the old blends beautifully with the new.
"It's undoubtedly a very large family home, but even though there are just four of us living here we use it all. It has a layout that flows beautifully, so it's perfect for day-to-day life and a fabulous house to entertain in.
"One of the most impressive spaces is without doubt the reception hall. It has the most beautiful mosaic floor, gorgeous wood panelling and a hugely impressive staircase. It's a space that definitely has the 'wow' factor.
"The layout of the house works incredibly well. I particularly love the fact that upstairs the children have their space and my husband and I have ours, and the guest wing at the back also has a good degree of separation.
"The property is walled and set well away from the road, with beautiful grounds surrounded by a wonderfully mature border of trees and hedging, so we enjoy a really good degree of privacy, in fact it’s almost like owning our very own piece of countryside.
"The garden is so lovely that we decided to include it in the Open Garden scheme, which has actually spurred us on to rework some of the layout and generally keep it in tip-top condition.
"I love it because there are so many nooks and crannies to explore, and it’s been an absolute paradise for the children.
"The village has everything: great little shops and restaurants, a bank, post office, doctor's surgery so all our day-to-day needs are catered for.
"We can also access cities such as Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham in less than an hour. However, within the house and garden you really do feel a million miles from everything.
"What will I miss most? Absolutely everything. Sometimes large houses can feel a bit austere, but The Cliffe has a really comfortable feel throughout. It's such an attractive house and it’s been a terrific family home.
