4 bed detached house for sale

Rawnsley Road, Hednesford WS12

Ref: JC0739 - Forget everything you think you know about single floor living, because Rawnsley Road is about to change your mind! Four huge double bedrooms, an incredible open-plan living space, a master bedroom with its own lounge, a bathroom that wouldn't look out of place in a five-star hotel and a south-facing garden that's longer than half the street's gardens put together. And that's before we even mention the nature reserve at the bottom!

Set well back from the road behind a large gated driveway, this substantially extended and improved home has space in abundance. Whether you've got a growing family, love entertaining or simply enjoy having enough room to swing a cat (not that we're suggesting you try), there's very little this property can't accommodate.

Inside, a wonderfully wide entrance hall leads you through to the main living accommodation, and this is where you start to appreciate just how different this home is. The lounge is enormous, with room for the biggest sofas you can find, and flows beautifully into a dining area complete with a log-burning stove. It's the perfect setup for Christmas with the whole family, Sunday roasts that turn into an afternoon around the table or simply stretching out on the sofa without somebody complaining you've stolen their seat.

And then there's the kitchen. Deep-blue shaker-style units, a range-style cooker, two huge roof lanterns and a central island with seating for five. It's a fantastic space for cooking, entertaining and generally putting the world to rights over a glass of wine. With bi-fold doors opening straight onto the garden, summer barbecues and evenings with friends become part of everyday life rather than something you have to plan weeks in advance. There's a separate utility too, because even beautiful houses need somewhere to hide the washing.

The bedrooms are equally impressive, and here's the best bit: All four are proper doubles. No arguments over who gets the tiny room because there isn't one! The master bedroom is particularly special, with its own sitting area, feature fireplace, glazed roof lantern and French doors opening onto the garden. It's almost a home within a home, and the perfect place to escape when you've had enough of everybody else. The remaining bedrooms offer fantastic proportions, with bedroom four even providing a separate area that's ideal for studying, gaming or working from home.

There are two bathrooms, but the main family bathroom deserves a special mention. An enormous walk-in shower, freestanding bath, beautiful marble-effect tiling and another glazed roof lantern make this feel more like a luxury spa. There's even room for an armchair, which tells you everything you need to know about the size of it. You could quite happily disappear in here for an hour and nobody would blame you.

Now, the garden. And if you thought the house was impressive, wait until you see what's waiting outside.

Measuring approximately 54.5 metres long and 17.9 metres wide, this enormous south-facing garden is the sort of space people dream about. There's a large patio for entertaining, a huge lawn for children and dogs to enjoy and enough room to explore all sorts of ideas, from an outdoor kitchen to a swimming pool, subject to the necessary permissions. You could host the entire family for a summer barbecue and still have room for a five-a-side football tournament. Although mowing the lawn might become your new weekend hobby!

But it's what sits beyond the garden that makes this property even more special. Hednesford Hills Nature Reserve provides a beautiful woodland backdrop, with fantastic walks and open countryside right on your doorstep. Imagine heading out for a Sunday morning walk, stopping for a well-earned coffee and coming home to spend the afternoon relaxing in your own garden. It's a lovely balance of having plenty of space at home while being surrounded by nature.

And there's still more to offer. The substantial detached double garage, complete with a separate office, has fantastic potential to become an annexe, perhaps for elderly parents, grown-up children or visiting family. There's also scope to convert the loft, giving you even more possibilities as your needs change. Both options would, of course, be subject to the necessary surveys, permissions and building regulations.

That's what makes this property so exciting. It's not just single floor living with a big garden. It's a home that gives you the freedom to live exactly how you want, whether that's entertaining friends, raising a family, working from home or simply enjoying a little more peace and quiet.

Four double bedrooms, incredible living space, an enormous south-facing garden, Hednesford Hills on your doorstep and no onward chain.

The only thing this property seems to be short of is compromises.

Location

One of the best things about living at Rawnsley Road is that you get the best of both worlds. Beautiful countryside quite literally beyond your back garden, yet all the shops, schools and everyday conveniences of Hednesford and Cannock are within easy reach.

Let's start with Hednesford Hills Nature Reserve, because having this as your backdrop is something rather special. Whether you're walking the dog, taking the children out to explore or simply fancy some fresh air after a long day, you've got wonderful natural surroundings right on your doorstep. And with Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a short drive away, there's even more to explore, including woodland walks, cycling trails and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

For families, there are several schools nearby, including Hazel Slade Primary Academy approximately 0.4 miles away, St Peter's CofE Primary Academy around 0.8 miles away and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School approximately 1.1 miles away. For older children, Kingsmead School is around a mile away, with Staffordshire University Academy another local secondary option.

Hednesford town centre is also within easy reach, offering supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday essentials. There's a nearby Aldi, while Cannock town centre provides further shopping and leisure facilities, including the popular McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands for a bit of retail therapy.

For commuters, Hednesford railway station is approximately 1.2 miles away, providing connections towards Birmingham and Rugeley, while the A5, A460 and M6 Toll offer convenient road links towards Lichfield, Stafford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

And if you fancy somewhere local for a drink or a bite to eat, The Trafalgar on Littleworth Road is nearby, so you don't always have to venture into town.

It's a location that works brilliantly for family life. Schools, shops and transport connections are all close enough to make everyday life convenient, but at home you've got that enormous south-facing garden and the beautiful Hednesford Hills beyond.

Not a bad place to call home, is it?
