General Remarks - Comment by Mark Johnson FRICS @ Baker Wynne and Wilson

"A harmony of volume, light, shadow, texture and materials"

With an internal footprint of over 4,000 sq. ft, this four-bedroom house near to Keele University is wonderfully true to its 1920s origins. Historic features inside and out have been lovingly looked after, with contemporary additions respectful of its origins added.

The Wood rests in approximately two acres of beautifully curated private gardens with its very own model railway and woodland. The accommodation has been the subject of a detailed restoration by a wonderful marriage of modern living and 20th-century elegance and has scope to further enhance to make one's own.

Nearby Keele University is located in the Staffordshire countryside and is world-renowned for its breadth of teaching and research that tackles the world's most urgent problems.
