About this property
Merchants House is an historical gem. It is tucked away in a tranquil lane in the picturesque village of Edingale, South East Staffordshire. An early 17th Century Grade II Listed detached cottage abundant with original period features including timber beams, a large inglenook fireplace and restored fully functional working Victorian range. The opinion of an expert is that the beams may date from the late 16th Century which could make this the oldest building in the lane and could have been occupied by the merchant Thomas Scofield as identified by the 1794 Enclosure map and from whom the lane takes its name.
