40 OLD PENKRIDGE ROAD

A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION Opportunity on Cannock's Most Prestigious Road!!!
Where do you even begin with a home as special as this?
Occupying a prime position on the highly sought-after Old Penkridge Road, this truly remarkable five-bedroom detached residence represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Cannock's finest family homes. Properties of this calibre rarely come to market, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-generation purchase.
From the moment you arrive, the property makes a lasting impression. Set behind private gates, its distinctive architecture, sweeping frontage and mature surroundings immediately set it apart. Brimming with charm, character and individuality, this is a home that welcomes you from the very first step through the door.
The warmth and atmosphere are instantly apparent. Despite its impressive size, the property retains an undeniable sense of comfort and homeliness throughout. To the left of the entrance hall sits a beautiful drawing room, currently utilised as a music room, providing a versatile and elegant reception space.
Adjacent is the magnificent principal lounge, a room overflowing with character. Exposed brickwork, original-style beams, stained feature windows and a charming log-burning stove combine to create a wonderfully rustic and traditional setting. A stunning bay frontage with French doors opens directly onto the extensive rear gardens, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
Moving through the property, you arrive at a second reception room, formerly the original kitchen and breakfast room. The current owners have undertaken extensive renovations, relocating the kitchen to create what is now undoubtedly the heart of this exceptional home.
Beyond the hallway are a generous utility room and guest WC, before the property opens into a breathtaking open-plan kitchen and dining space. Finished to an excellent modern standard, the kitchen boasts an array of high-quality fitted units and premium integrated appliances, perfectly balancing contemporary luxury with family practicality.
At either end of the kitchen are two separate pantry areas, each offering direct access outside. One leads to the rear garden, while the other features the owners' charmingly named "Pixie Door", providing access to the front driveway. Internal access is also available to the substantial double garage. Completing this wonderful entertaining space is a door opening onto a delightful breakfast patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy the morning sunshine.
The first floor continues to impress. Three generous double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with both the principal suite and second bedroom benefitting from their own en-suite facilities. Two further well-proportioned single bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, making them ideal for children, guests or home-working spaces.
The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, offering a corner bath, large double shower, bidet and ample space for busy family life. A unique hallway dressing area, complete with fitted wardrobes, adds yet another practical and luxurious touch.
Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself. The enchanting driveway is full of character and greenery, with a picturesque fish pond providing a stunning focal point upon arrival. The extensive gardens offer endless opportunities for entertaining, relaxing and family enjoyment.
Adding further appeal is the superb annexe-style accommodation situated above the garage. Complete with its own bedroom, bathroom and living area, it offers exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, visiting guests, independent teenagers, or even a home office suite.
Location is one of the key reasons why Old Penkridge Road remains widely regarded as Cannock's most desirable address. Just a five-minute walk from Cannock Town Centre, residents enjoy convenient access to a wealth of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities. Cannock Railway Station is only a short drive away, providing direct links to Birmingham New Street and beyond.
Nature lovers will also appreciate the property's proximity to Shoal Hill Common, a beautiful extension of Cannock Chase, offering acres of scenic countryside, woodland walks and outdoor pursuits right on your doorstep.
Combining substantial living accommodation, outstanding character, versatile ancillary accommodation and one of the town's most coveted locations, this exceptional residence represents a truly rare opportunity.
