Introduction & Exterior

Holding a fabulous position in the idyllic Staffordshire village of Cannock Wood, with stunning views over the local countryside and beyond to the rear, this property will be of high interest to all buyers. Originally a single storey bungalow, the property includes two additional bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor to make it a family home for all ages. The home was completely refurbished in 2023 meaning that it is ready to move into. The front extension was completed in 2022.

The property is set back from Buds Road behind a large, sloped tarmac driveway that was re-laid as part of the refurbishment and can hold multiple cars. A short brick wall separates the frontage from the pavement and enhances the initial presentation. The driveway ends at the house where to the right there is a generous garage that has a fob-controlled electric roll-shut door to enter and can easily hold a large car with room to spare. The main entrance to the house has a raised step to the storm porch with a composite door to enter into the hallway.

To the right of the house is a gated passage that leads through to the breath-taking rear garden. Immediately behind the house there has been a raised decking platform erected that spans the entire width of the house. The decking is of a composite material that is durable and requires little maintenance. Due to its size, there are plenty of options for positioning furniture and taking in the outstanding views. Steps lead down from the decking onto the impressive lawn that stretches all the way down to the boundary with open fields. The lawn has attractive shrubs and trees and there are paths to the borders to easily manoeuvre around.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home into a large, welcoming hallway with high-quality, wood-effect flooring laid. This lovely flooring is laid throughout the ground floor. The hallway has plenty of space for guests to remove coats and shoes. Doorways lead to two large double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a set of glass panelled double doors opening to the lounge. The carpeted staircase is straight ahead and leads up to the first floor.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and is a remarkable large size. There are two windows, positioned at the front and side, that allow a lot of natural light in. It’s worth nothing that all external windows and doors are double-glazed. Two further doors from the bedroom access a large walk-in wardrobe / dressing room and a stylish en suite shower room. The shower room comprises of a double shower cubicle with sliding door access, a unit combing a wash hand basin atop a cabinet and toilet, and a heated towel rail. This is all complemented by brick effect tiling. Above the master bedroom is access to a large thickly insulated loft (pictured) with a regular window and skylight. This offers potential for future conversion or additional storage.

The second bedroom to the right of the entrance is another impressive double room and this room has a door to access a storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void beneath the staircase.

The family bathroom has a beautiful suite that will be loved by viewers. It features a free-standing bathtub, a separate double shower cubicle with sliding door to access, a combi-unit with cabinets, wash basin and toilet, and an eye-catching Windsor radiator with towel rail. Again, the suite is complemented by brick-effect tiling.

The lounge double doors open to an outstanding large reception space where attention will be immediate drawn to a fabulous bi-folding doors to the rear of the room. Even when closed, the doors provide lots of natural light and a beautiful view of the garden, oak trees and local countryside. A door to the right of the room opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen features a stylish suite with a range of integrated appliances that is fitted in two main sections. This also incorporates a breakfast bar near to the centre, beside a set of French doors that open out to the patio. Appliances include a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, electric oven and a four-ring induction hob with modern overhead extractor fan.

A further door opens to a utility room that includes a matching suite with under-counter spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Doors from the utility room lead out to the patio and into the rear of the garage. The garage houses the gas central heating combi-boiler and has a second attic space above.

First Floor

At the top of the staircase is a landing with a window that has an even better view over the rear garden and countryside. The landing is flanked by two double bedrooms that each have a window with a similar view. Bedroom three, to the left of the landing, has a further door to a deep cupboard that could serve as a walk-in wardrobe.

Serving these two bedrooms is a shower room, the final room accessed from the landing. The shower room comprises of a shower cubicle, combination unit with wash basin, cabinet and toilet, and a chrome heated towel radiator. A skylight provides natural light from above and the suite is complemented by brick-effect tiling.

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 and Cumberledge 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 (1.8 miles away) which holds a Good (2) Rating from its latest Ofsted assessment. The primary school is listed as Gentleshaw Primary, which is just 0.1 miles from this home, and therefore a decent 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
