Room Details

Entrance & Hallway - 2.91m x 1.0m

A smart canopy porch sets the tone for this warm and welcoming home. Step inside to a bright hall finished with authentic Victorian‐style geometric tiling and elegant wall panelling that continues up the stairs and across the landing. There is space for a console table and coats, doors to the lounge, cloakroom and kitchen/diner, plus an under‐stairs cupboard for household essentials. The wide hallway enhances circulation and helps daylight travel through the ground floor.

Cloakroom / Guest WC - 1.45m x 0.94m

Crisply presented two‐piece suite with wash basin and WC, perfect for guests and practical for busy family mornings. Easy‐clean finishes and a discreet position off the hall allow convenience without compromising the flow of the living space.

Lounge - 4.85m x 3.06m

A beautifully proportioned dual‐aspect living room designed for relaxation. Large windows to the front and side draw in sunlight throughout the day, lending an airy, uplifting feel. Thoughtful detailing, herringbone flooring underfoot and decorative wall panelling, adds boutique character to the modern build quality. The room easily accommodates two sofas, media unit and occasional furniture, with natural zones for reading, conversation and film nights. Close the door for quiet evenings, or keep it open to remain connected to the heart of the home.

Open‐Plan Kitchen / Dining Room - overall 4.85m x 4.49m

Spanning the full width across the rear, this is an outstanding everyday and entertaining space. The kitchen combines style and practicality with sleek gloss cabinetry, timber‐effect worktops and a stainless‐steel hob with matching splashback and extractor. There is a built‐in oven, space for a tall fridge/freezer and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. A 11⁄2‐bowl sink sits beneath the window, keeping you connected to the garden while cooking or clearing up. Open shelving by the window provides a display point for favourite mugs and jars, adding warmth and personality.

The dining area is generously sized for a family table and dresser, with room left over for a children’s play nook or additional seating. Wide glazed doors open directly to the patio, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection, ideal for summer barbecues, weekend brunches or simply letting fresh air flood the space. The sightline from the dining table across the lawn makes it easy to supervise children at play while preparing meals.

Under‐stairs Store - approx. 1.55m x 1.14m

A surprisingly useful cupboard for vacuum, coats, shoes, toys and the miscellany of daily life. Its position off the hall keeps the main living spaces clutter‐free.

First Floor

Landing - 1.09m x 1.89m (max)

A bright, central landing is augmented by soft, neutral carpeting. There is a built‐in storage cupboard for linens and towels, and a loft hatch above (loft not measured). The first‐floor layout has been planned to minimise corridor space and maximise room sizes.

Principal Bedroom (Bedroom 1) - 3.06m x 3.57m

The principal bedroom is a calm, restful space with an excellent sense of proportion. A wardrobe recess provides hanging and shelving capacity while keeping the footprint clear for a king‐size bed and bedside tables. The room’s orientation enjoys soft morning light, and there is still ample wall space for a dressing table or chest. A door leads to the private en‐suite.

En‐Suite Shower Room - 1.48m x 1.79m

Smart and contemporary, the en‐suite features a glazed shower enclosure with thermostatic mixer, a modern basin and WC, complemented by chic tiling. A window provides natural ventilation, and there’s thoughtful space for additional shelving or a laundry basket. This dedicated en‐suite elevates bedroom 1 to a true main suite.

Bedroom 2 - 2.48m x 3.04m

A generous second bedroom with a pleasant outlook to the front. It can take a double bed or serve as a spacious single with room for a desk ideal for teenagers, guests, or as a second home office. The neutral scheme provides a versatile backdrop for any style.

Bedroom 3 - 2.40m x 3.13m

A well‐proportioned third bedroom that currently suits nursery or study use. With its excellent natural light and quiet position, it is perfect as a work‐from‐home space, hobby room or child’s bedroom. The rectangular shape makes furnishing straightforward, and the soft carpet adds comfort underfoot.

Family Bathroom - 1.87m x 1.59m

The family bathroom blends character and practicality: A panelled bath with over‐bath shower, WC and pedestal basin, tasteful tiling (including classic metro tiling to the bath area) and a window for light and ventilation. It’s a stylish, easy‐to‐maintain room serving bedrooms two and three.

Outside:

Parking & Frontage

The property sits proudly on a corner plot, giving it presence and additional natural light. To the side is a private driveway for three cars, offering stress‐free parking for family and visitors alike, no shuffling of cars required on busy mornings. The frontage is neatly landscaped with hedging and lawn, and a path leads to the porch. A gated side access brings you to the rear garden without passing through the house.

Rear Garden

Thoughtfully landscaped for low maintenance and high enjoyment. Immediately outside the dining doors is a broad stone patio, perfectly positioned for alfresco dining and lounging. Beyond lies a level lawn bounded by close‐board fencing for privacy and safety. A second seating/BBQ area beside the timber shed gives a choice of sun or shade across the day, ideal for entertaining larger groups or giving children their own play space. External lighting extends use into the evening and, thanks to the open aspect, the garden feels both private and bright.

Location - Penkridge: Village life with superb connections

This home forms part of one of Penkridge’s most desirable modern developments by Bloor Homes, prized for its attractive streetscape, open feel and family‐friendly environment. From the front door, it’s a short, level walk to the village centre, where you’ll find independent shops, cafes, pubs, takeaways, a Post Office, dentists and doctors’ surgery. The long‐running Penkridge Market and regular farmers’ markets bring local produce, antiques and community events, while nearby green spaces and the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal offer picturesque walks and cycle routes.

Penkridge strikes a rare balance: A classic English village with genuine convenience. You can collect a coffee on foot, enjoy a Sunday lunch in the pub, take evening walks by the water, and still be on the M6 (J12/J13) within minutes for rapid regional and national travel. Stafford, Cannock Chase and the wider Staffordshire countryside are all close by for weekend adventures.

Transport & commuting

Rail: Penkridge railway station is within easy reach on foot or by bike. It sits on the route linking Stafford and Wolverhampton/Birmingham, with regular services to Stafford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street, plus convenient onward connections for Manchester, London and the wider UK. Typical journey times are around 10 minutes to Stafford, 15–20 minutes to Wolverhampton and 35–40 minutes to Birmingham New Street (times vary; check timetables). The station makes the village a realistic base for city commutes while retaining a slower‐paced lifestyle.

Roads: Swift access to the A449 for Stafford and Wolverhampton, and to the M6 (J12 & J13) placing the West Midlands, the Potteries and the North West within straightforward reach.

Buses & cycling: Local buses connect the village to surrounding towns, and the relatively level landscape and canal towpaths make cycling a practical option for local trips.

Schools & education

Penkridge is well served for schooling and is popular with families for precisely this reason. The area operates a three‐tier system, with several well‐regarded First Schools feeding into Penkridge Middle School and on to Wolgarston High School.

Notable nearby options include:

Marshbrook First School – a friendly village school known for its nurturing ethos.

Princefield First School – another popular choice with a strong community feel.

St Michael’s CE (A) First School – Church of England school with a values‐led approach.

Penkridge Middle School – centrally located, with broad extracurricular opportunities.

Wolgarston High School – an established secondary offering GCSEs, A‐levels and vocational routes.

There are also several nurseries and pre‐school providers in and around the village for early years care. As with all properties, admissions and catchment areas should be verified with the local authority, but buyers consistently choose Penkridge for the quality and convenience of its educational provision.

Lifestyle notes: Everyday ease

Groceries & daily needs: Convenience stores, butcher, bakery, pharmacies and a range of independent shops are a short stroll away, meaning you can largely live locally.

Leisure: Nearby gyms and sports clubs, a leisure centre, and beautiful Cannock Chase aonb a short drive for mountain biking, walking and running.

Eating out: A selection of pubs, cafes and takeaways in the village, with a wider choice in Stafford and Wolverhampton.
