**Discover Shawgate Farm**

Tucked away in the charming village of Foxt in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Shawgate Farm is a remarkable property that beautifully merges rural elegance with limitless potential. Set against a backdrop of stunning countryside, this unique estate offers an array of opportunities for both personal enjoyment and entrepreneurial ventures.

**Property Overview:**

Shawgate Farm includes a delightful farm cottage and a spacious barn converted into a fully functioning bed and breakfast. Spanning five acres of picturesque land, the property also features a substantial outbuilding.

**Key Features:**

**Former Bed & Breakfast:** Offering 6 generously sized ensuite guest rooms, this space is designed for comfort and hospitality. A separate reception area ensures privacy for the owners, while the first floor accommodates five large bedrooms each with ensuite shower rooms. The ground floor boasts a welcoming reception room with a bar, public restrooms, and a conservatory that overlooks the beautifully maintained gardens. A fully equipped commercial kitchen, utility, and laundry room complete this space. Additionally, there’s a separate entrance leading to further accommodation options that could serve as an annex for relatives or generate extra income.

This accommodation offers the perfect escape while still being connected to the property’s main facilities.

**Event Venue Potential:** Once a wedding venue, Shawgate Farm comes with a large lawn/event space and a bar/function room, making it ideal for gatherings and celebrations. There's significant potential to revive this aspect, subject to planning permissions and some renovations.

**Versatile Commercial Opportunities:** Registered for residential use but rich in commercial possibilities, this property could easily cater to various ventures, including a bed and breakfast, Airbnb, team-building retreat, or even camping and caravan sites, all subject to planning consents.
