The Old Rectory, Admaston WS15

Georgian elegance, beautifully considered interiors and the ease of apartment living, all within the historic surroundings of Blithfield Hall Estate.

There's something rather special about the proportions and architectural details of a Georgian home. The high ceilings, tall sash windows and beautifully balanced rooms create a sense of space and elegance that modern buildings rarely replicate. Here at The Old Rectory, those timeless qualities are complemented by thoughtful contemporary improvements, creating a home that feels both characterful and wonderfully comfortable.

Occupying the first floor of this handsome period building, the apartment offers an appealing alternative to a traditional house. Surrounded by established parkland and mature woodland, it combines the charm of country-house living with the practicality of a more manageable home, whilst the shops, amenities and everyday conveniences of nearby Rugeley are readily accessible.

The approach through Blithfield Hall Estate is particularly attractive, with a private driveway winding through mature trees and open grounds before arriving at the impressive Georgian façade of The Old Rectory. It's a setting that immediately feels peaceful and removed from the bustle of everyday life.

Inside, the apartment is beautifully proportioned, with original architectural features that have been carefully preserved and complemented by more recent improvements.

A generous reception hall provides an elegant introduction, with decorative cornicing, original panelled doors and a striking stained-glass screen framed by an arched timber surround. Far more than simply a hallway, the space is substantial enough to accommodate occasional furniture and artwork, creating an inviting first impression.

The drawing room is undoubtedly one of the most impressive spaces within the apartment. Three tall sash windows flood the room with natural light, whilst high ceilings, deep skirting boards and decorative cornicing reflect the craftsmanship of the Georgian period. Window seats provide charming places to enjoy the outlook across the established grounds, whilst a traditional stone fireplace creates an attractive focal point.

Generous enough to accommodate both comfortable seating and a dining area, it's a wonderfully versatile room, equally suited to relaxed everyday living and entertaining friends and family.

One of the apartment's standout features is its recently installed kitchen by Milford Kitchens. Beautifully designed and thoughtfully finished, it introduces a more contemporary influence whilst remaining sympathetic to the character of the building. The quality of the installation reflects the considerable care and investment made by the current owners, bringing modern practicality into a home rich in period detail.

Throughout, the relationship between original architecture and contemporary comfort has been carefully considered. Rather than competing with the building's heritage, the improvements enhance the experience of living here, creating an interior that feels elegant, welcoming and entirely suited to modern life.

Outside, the apartment benefits from its own private garden, providing somewhere to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A double garage offers valuable parking and storage, adding a level of practicality that is particularly appealing in a property of this nature.

Country-house surroundings, with the convenience of town life close by.

One of the great advantages of living at The Old Rectory is the balance between its peaceful estate setting and the excellent amenities available in nearby Rugeley.

The town offers a wide choice of supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, alongside pharmacies, healthcare facilities and other essential services. Whether it's meeting friends for coffee, picking up everyday shopping or enjoying lunch in town, the convenience of having these facilities close by makes day-to-day living particularly straightforward.

Rugeley also offers leisure and community facilities, with railway connections towards Birmingham, Stafford and beyond. For a wider choice of shopping, dining and cultural attractions, the cathedral city of Lichfield is within easy reach, alongside Stafford and Burton upon Trent.

The surrounding countryside provides plenty of opportunities for walking and enjoying the outdoors, whilst Cannock Chase offers miles of woodland, heathland and scenic trails.

What makes this apartment particularly appealing is the lifestyle it offers.

The architectural elegance and generous proportions of a Georgian country house, the comfort of a beautifully maintained home and the freedom that comes with a more manageable property, all within easy reach of the amenities and conveniences of a thriving market town.

For those looking to enjoy period character without the responsibilities of a substantial country house, this is a wonderfully distinctive place to call home
