Approach & Exterior



This is a rare opportunity to own a fabulous modern home on a stunning private development in rural Staffordshire. The development is located on the fringes of the village of Colton near Rugeley and the property’s rear garden backs onto open countryside which buyers will love.

Littlehay Manor is split into two main sections right from the main entrance and viewers will need to take the left driveway to reach this property. The house is set back from the communal drive behind a lovely front lawn that has a short brick wall boundary and pathway leading to the solid front entrance door. The two-car, block-paved driveway is positioned to the side of the garden and precedes a large single garage that has a manual up-and-over door to enter. Beside the garage is a secure gate to access the rear garden.

As the land behind the house rises to the bordering field, the designers of the property landscaped the rear garden on two main levels featuring a large patio for outdoor furniture before rising to a generous lawn. Attractive sleepers support two further shorter levels at the far end of the garden that enhance the presentation. Shrubbery and fencing are found at the boundaries.

Colton is north of Rugeley and is roughly a five-minute journey to the A51. The A51 provides great links to Lichfield, Stafford and Stoke. On the opposite side of Rugeley is the A460 that leads to Hednesford, Cannock and the M6 motorway.

Schools & amenities

Viewers with children will be delighted to learn that village primary school, St Marys CofE on Bellamour Way, is currently classed as Outstanding by Ofsted.
