Location

Deans Hall Farm stands in an idyllic backwater setting approximately half a mile from the centre of a thriving South Staffordshire village. The house stands amidst unspoilt South Staffordshire countryside with glorious views over adjoining fields and occupies a pleasant position set back off a small, unadopted road.

Brewood is a popular village with a bustling centre and a comprehensive range of local, everyday shopping facilities together with public houses, restaurants, doctors and dentists surgeries and churches. There is easy travelling to the centres of Wolverhampton and Stafford whilst the motorway network facilitates fast access to Birmingham and the entire industrial West Midlands.

The area is well served by schooling in both sectors with Birchfield Preparatory School in Albrighton, St Dominic's High School in Brewood, Adams Grammar in Newport, Stafford Grammar School and Wolverhampton Grammar School all being particularly worthy of note.
