Some addresses just sound special, and homes on The Green have a habit of living up to the name. Tucked away in a particularly desirable position in the sought-after village of Milford, Hardwick House is a home that effortlessly combines scale, style and a real sense of privacy. Set within one of Stafford’s most exclusive village locations and offering beautifully arranged accommodation over three floors, this is a property designed for modern family living at its very best.
Milford is highly regarded for its balance of countryside charm and convenience, sitting on the edge of Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while still being just a short drive from Stafford town centre. The village offers a peaceful setting, scenic walks on your doorstep and excellent access to commuter links, including the M6 and Stafford Railway Station with its direct routes to Birmingham, Manchester and London.
From the moment you step inside, the home makes a statement. A substantial reception hallway sets the tone, finished with ceramic tiled flooring and centred around an impressive oak staircase rising through the property. There is a useful walk-in cloaks cupboard and access to a stylish guest WC, while solid wood panelled doors lead off to the principal living spaces.
The lounge is a beautifully proportioned room, offering a warm yet elegant setting with a living flame gas fire set within a contemporary surround. French doors open directly onto the rear garden and paved seating area, while zoned underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout. Glazed solid wood double doors connect seamlessly through to both the dining room and the open-plan kitchen, allowing the space to flow when entertaining, or be closed off when needed.
The dining room is another impressive reception space, featuring a large bay window to the front, integrated ceiling speakers and underfloor heating. It offers excellent flexibility, whether used for formal dining or as an additional family room. The sitting room provides yet another generous living area, again with integrated audio, a bay window to the front, making it a bright and adaptable space to suit a range of uses.
At the heart of the home sits the stunning open-plan family dining kitchen. This is a truly exceptional room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale. The kitchen itself is fitted to a high specification, with granite work surfaces, matching breakfast bar and a comprehensive range of units enhanced by under cupboard and plinth lighting. Twin circular stainless steel Franke sinks are complemented by a contemporary mixer tap and instant boiling water tap, while integrated Bosch appliances include a five ring gas hob with wok burner, extractor, microwave, two self-cleaning ovens and a dishwasher. There is ample space for an American style fridge freezer, and the room is further enhanced by underfloor heating and integrated ceiling speakers. French doors open into the conservatory, while a glazed door leads through to the utility room.
The utility room continues the high standard of finish, with fitted units, a composite sink, waste disposal unit, space for laundry appliances and its own side access, along with underfloor heating for added comfort.
The conservatory is a superb addition, creating a bright and relaxing space that enjoys views over the garden, with remotely operated roof blinds, underfloor heating and French doors opening out onto the patio.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The first floor galleried landing is both light and impressive, with an oak staircase rising to the second floor, along with built-in storage and an airing cupboard. Four exceptionally generous bedrooms are located on this floor, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes and their own luxury en suite facilities, offering a level of comfort and privacy that is rarely found.
The second floor provides even more versatility, with two further substantial rooms currently used as a gymnasium and games room. The gym features integrated audio, air conditioning and a wall of smoked mirrored sliding doors concealing a large walk-in wardrobe, while the games room enjoys dual aspect Velux windows and integrated ceiling speakers. A large luxurious family bathroom completes this floor.
Externally, the property is approached via a substantial block paved driveway, providing parking for numerous vehicles and leading to the detached triple garage. The frontage is framed by beautifully maintained lawns, while wrought iron gates to either side of the property provide access to the rear garden.
The rear garden is both private and beautifully landscaped, offering a generous lawn, well-kept borders and a spacious paved seating and entertaining area. A standout feature is the raised open “beach hut” style seating area, complete with fitted seating, table, power, lighting and heating, creating a fantastic space for entertaining throughout the year.
The detached triple garage is equally impressive, with three electronically operated doors and a side access. Above, accessed via a decorative wrought iron spiral staircase, is a substantial additional room currently used as a music and games room, complete with air conditioning and its own WC. This space offers huge potential, whether as a home office, studio or guest suite.
Hardwick House is, quite simply, a home that offers it all. Exceptional space, high specification throughout and a prime village setting, all wrapped up in a property that feels both impressive and effortlessly liveable.
