Introduction & Exterior

This beautiful home set in rural Staffordshire in Cannock Wood will be of high interest to smaller families looking for a long term move to the countryside.

The property is set back from Hayfield Hill behind a long driveway that provides off road parking for multiple cars. The driveway ends at the garage door, which lifts up and over to a space for a single car.

The rear garden is truly special. It begins at the cottage’s ground level with a flagstone patio and attractive balustrade offering a spot for an outdoor furniture set where stunning countryside views can be enjoyed. Steps lead down to an impressively long rear garden that has been landscaped to include areas of synthetic lawn, a further patio and a gravel path. This is all bordered by sleepers, trees and shrubbery. At the far end of the garden is a summer house with decking.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home at the front via a porch that gives plenty of space to remove coats and shoes, before moving through to a short hallway with the staircase immediately ahead and a doorway to the lounge to the right. The lounge is a gorgeous reception room that provides a lovely snug area with a log burner fireplace set within the original chimney breast. Karndean flooring is laid underfoot to provide a fabulous finish that complements the tasteful décor. At the front of the room is a double glazed bay window and, to avoid repetition, all windows throughout the house house are double-glazed. French doors at the rear of the lounge open to the kitchen.

Viewers’ jaws will no doubt hit the floor the moment they enter the kitchen! An outstanding kitchen with dining has been taken to another level (literally) with a lower level family room extension added. Vaulted ceilings with a total of six skylights provide a bright and expansive experience. The kitchen suite is fitted to the front and side walls with a large island unit in the centre. The island unit features a range of storage space, along with a sink and a five-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan. The remaining suite includes an integral refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher as well as an additional sink with drainer. The family room is a marvellous alternative to the lounge and has bi-folding doors that not only open to the patio but provide a stunning view of the countryside whilst relaxing. More Karndean flooring is laid across both floors.

A door to the side of the kitchen opens to the side patio where there is a rear personnel door to the garage. The garage interior includes designated spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as the central heating combi-boiler mounted to the wall.

First Floor

Viewers make their way up the stairs to a short but bright landing, owing to the window are the side. Doors from the landing open to two bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and with the stunning rear views it’s easy to forget that there are also lovely views to the front as seen from the bedroom. The bedroom includes a built-in storage cupboard that makes use of the void above the staircase. Just above the entrance to the bedroom is a large pull-down hatch with ladder to access the boarded loft space.

Transport links

Cannock Wood is fabulously rural as well as being well positioned for commuters, as within 10 minutes by car drivers can get to the A5 at either Norton Canes or Brownhills and the M6 Toll at Burntwood. In 15 minutes drivers could reach the M6 at Cannock. There are also many rural shortcuts, making rush hour a breeze, to local towns and cities such as Lichfield, Burntwood and Hednesford.

The nearest railway station to the home is at Hednesford, around a 10 minute drive. The station is located on the Chase Line which runs from Rugeley Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street, passing through Cannock and Walsall. Taking the longer journey to Lichfield would provide train users with access to the West Coast Main Line for journeys to London and Liverpool, amongst many others.

Bus users will be delighted that there is a regular service that stops on Hayfield Hill. This is the main Cannock to Lichfield service that also makes stops in Hednesford and Burntwood.

Schools & amenities

At present the Staffordshire Schools website names the catchment secondary school as Chase Terrace Technology College (1.4 miles away) The primary school is listed as Gentleshaw Primary, which is just 0.5 miles from this home, and therefore a decent country walk. Although we have done our best to research this information, it is highly recommended that parents check with the local authority to confirm catchment.

Cannock Wood is a short drive from Burntwood which has the nearest supermarket, whereas Cannock, Lichfield and Rugeley have plenty more to offer in terms of shops and attractions. Burntwood is also home to a large leisure centre.

The village is located on the border of Cannock Chase national park aonb (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and therefore this provides recreational activities such as walking, running, cycling and riding. Nearby is the historic monument of Castle Ring which has stunning views towards north Staffordshire and Derbyshire
