Grindon Leek, Staffordshire, ST13

The Cavalier is a historic property dating back to the first half of the 17th century, offering a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Formerly known as the Cavalier Inn, it ceased trading as a public house in 2006 after serving as a pub for about a century. Prior to that, it functioned as a farmhouse, a blacksmith and joiners, and an undertaker's shop.

The exterior showcases traditional British architecture, constructed primarily from local stone, providing a sense of permanence. The symmetrical facade features a centrally positioned front door and traditional casement windows with multi-paned designs and white frames. Situated on a slight rise, the property commands a prominent position amidst lush, green surroundings. Mature trees and an expansive lawn offer privacy and a picturesque setting for outdoor activities.
