Hanbury House

Welcome to an extraordinary family residence located in the highly sought after village of Upper Longdon. Built by the renowned Firstpost Homes, this property combines modern luxury with the warmth of a true family sanctuary. Situated in a discreet private development, this home offers peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience.

The interior is a masterclass in functional design, offering a balanced layout that caters to both grand entertaining and cosy family life. No expense has been spared on the fittings, resulting in a home that feels both stylish and substantial. Location is everything here: enjoy the best of village life right on the edge of Cannock Chase whilst being just a short drive from Lichfield City Centre; the West Coast Mainline at Trent Valley ensures you can be in the heart of London in under an hour and a half.

Accessed via an exclusive, block-paved private drive serving an intimate collection of just four homes, the approach to Hanbury House sets a tone of quiet sophistication. The front aspect is framed by meticulously maintained lawns and established shrubbery borders, offering an inviting first impression.

The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where premium oak flooring sets a sophisticated tone that continues throughout the property. Entered via double doors is the expansive formal lounge, centred around a striking feature fireplace with log burner.

Adjacent to the lounge you'll find a versatile reception room which is currently being utilised as a vibrant games room; this adaptable space could easily transition into a sophisticated formal dining room.

The real highlight of this home is the open plan dining kitchen, featuring sleek granite worktops, a social centre island and an impressive Aga style cooker which flows seamlessly into a stunning garden room which floods the space with natural light. There is a practical utility room and a useful study which is ideal for those working from home.

Ascending the bespoke dark oak staircase, you reach a gallery-style landing leading to five generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring bespoke fitted furniture and a private ensuite equipped with dual "his and hers" sinks. Two additional bedrooms also enjoy the convenience of their own ensuite shower rooms, while the remaining two double bedrooms are well-served by a contemporary family bathroom.

The rear garden has been transformed into a landscaped sanctuary, perfectly blending relaxation with recreation. Beyond the generous lawn, the space features a bespoke bar and entertaining area and a tranquil water feature, all punctuated by a private gate providing direct, seamless access onto Cannock Chase. The garden is fully enclosed by a blend of fencing and mature hedging, ensuring complete privacy and providing the perfect space to relax and unwind after a busy day.

Nestled on the edge of the Cannock Chase National Landscape, Upper Longdon is a highly sought after, picturesque village which is often described as a "dormitory" village for its excellent connectivity to Lichfield, Stafford and Birmingham. It is renowned for its tranquil atmosphere and stunning rural backdrop. The village itself is home to the Chetwynd Arms, a popular local pub, and is characterized by a blend of historic period cottages and substantial, upmarket modern residences. Its most distinguished feature is its immediate proximity to the Chase, offering residents "doorstep" access to miles of woodland trails, as well as the historic Castle Ring, an Iron Age hillfort that sits just above the village. Combined with its reputable local schools and peaceful, leafy lanes, Upper Longdon remains one of the most desirable postcodes in the Staffordshire countryside.

Perfectly positioned for commuters, with easy access to the A51 and A38 and just a short drive from the cathedral city of Lichfield. The village is served by a mix of local and nearby schools, with the primary provision being within the village itself and secondary options available in the neighbouring towns of Rugeley and Lichfield.
