OFFERED WITH NO UPWARD CHAIN. **Occupying a substantial semi-rural plot in Gailey (near Penkridge), this exceptional individually designed residence offers an impressive combination of space, contemporary architecture and versatility, with approximately 3,443 sq ft of accommodation and grounds understood to extend to approximately 3 acres*
Built in 2012 for the current owner’s own occupation, the property was designed around modern family living, with an outstanding specification and a layout that makes an immediate impression.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spectacular open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen room, extending to almost 60ft in length. This superb space provides an exceptional setting for both everyday living and entertaining, incorporating a contemporary gloss-white kitchen centred around a substantial horseshoe-style island with granite work surfaces and breakfast bar seating. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes Neff cooking appliances, while extensive glazing and doors connect the living space with the outside.
The sense of scale continues into the galleried reception hallway, where an attractive staircase with glazed balustrading rises to the first floor. Double doors lead into a separate and generously proportioned lounge, providing a quieter reception room away from the main open-plan living space. A laundry room and separate WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged to offer excellent flexibility. The principal bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, contemporary en-suite shower room and doors opening onto a private balcony.
There are three further bedrooms, including a particularly impressive fourth bedroom with its own walk-in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and balcony. Its position and arrangement away from the other bedrooms could make this an excellent option for older children, guests or multi-generational living, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, the scale of the grounds sets this home apart. The property is approached through remote-controlled wrought-iron gates, opening onto a substantial gravelled driveway with extensive parking for numerous vehicles.
The gardens and grounds are understood by the vendor to extend to approximately 3 acres***, providing a considerable amount of outside space with lawned areas, mature boundaries, terraces and plenty of scope for recreation and entertaining.
A particularly useful addition is the substantial detached summer office, measuring approximately 30'9" x 15'6". Offering an excellent dedicated workspace away from the main house, it could equally lend itself to a studio, games room, gym or hobby space, subject to a purchaser's individual requirements.
The property occupies a semi-rural position on Croft Lane in Gailey while remaining exceptionally convenient for travelling. The A5 and A449 provide straightforward access towards Stafford, Cannock and Wolverhampton, with the M6 and wider motorway network also readily accessible. The nearby villages of Penkridge, Brewood and Wheaton Aston provide a further range of shops, schools, pubs and everyday amenities.
A genuinely individual home where the photographs alone cannot fully convey the sheer scale of the accommodation and grounds. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this impressive property has to offer.
*The grounds are understood to extend to approximately 3 acres, as advised by the vendor. This has not been independently measured or verified and should be treated as an approximate guide only. Any marketing boundary shown is for illustrative purposes and has not been checked against the official Land Registry title plan. Buyers should rely upon their own legal enquiries to confirm the extent and boundaries of the property.
