From Betley go towards Newcastle. Pass Marsons Garage and 1/4 mile on there are 2 drives on the left hand side. Take the 1st Drive and follow to back of property. If you go under the railway bridge you have gone too far.

Location - The private lane guides you through the beautiful woodland and onward to the property which is located between 5 and 10-minutes minutes' drive of Newcastle town centre and many other local amenities. The Wood also has good links to the A525, M6 and A500. The village of Keele remains as popular as ever being conveniently located for Newcastle town centre, Keele University, and the Royal Stoke Hospital. The pretty village is surrounded by some very picturesque countryside providing an ideal spot for rural walks.

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.
