Ingestre Lodges

Nestled within the idyllic village of Ingestre, close to Great Haywood in the heart of Staffordshire, is the, Grade II-listed Ingestre lodges. Ingestre Hall has been the home of the Chetwynd-Talbot family who in 1858 inherited the earldom of Shrewsbury and the lodges occupy one section of the quadrangle which forms the ‘New Stables’ building, which was built by the 20th Earl of Shrewsbury in 1886. The lodge features an open-plan living space, complete with contemporary kitchens, living and dining areas enhanced with elegant stylings created by Oscar-winning designer Luciana Arrighi. To the exterior is ample off-road parking and a shared courtyard space with garden furniture. A further outdoor area is through the kitchen door onto shared woodland with an individual dining area with garden furniture. On the edge of the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are a myriad of excellent walking and cycling routes in the local area. The village of Great Haywood is less than two miles away and provides a convenience store, two pubs and a quirky canalside farm, shop and café where you can enjoy a sweet treat whilst overlooking the water. Further amenities can be found in the town of Stafford, six miles away, with a vast choice of shops and excellent restaurants. The National Trust site of Shugborough Hall, with on-site tearoom, walled gardens and park provide a leisurely afternoon of exploring, whilst those looking for a day of thrills can find Alton Towers and the Drayton Manor Theme Parks within a scenic drive.
