"
Situated in a delightful rural location on the edge of the
highly sought-after village of Upper Longdon, this superbly
renovated country cottage has a delightfully bespoke accommodation
layout. Having undergone a "e;back to brick"e;
renovation in 2021, the refurbishment has successfully retained a
great sympathy for the natural character of the house. Fully
insulated, the property has underfloor heating to both the ground
and first floors, all supplied by an external electric air source
heat pump with a three-phase supply. The interesting accommodation
layout has a generous family living room leading to a spacious
dining room and onto the fabulous family breakfast kitchen. The
first floor has four bedrooms with the main bedroom being accessed
via a private staircase, with doors opening to a rooftop patio -
perfect for enjoying the far-reaching countryside views. There is
an electric gated driveway with ample parking, together with a
large double and single garage. The total plot extends to
approximately two acres including stabling - perfect for anyone
with an equestrian interest. The pretty village of Upper Longdon
lies on the very border of Cannock Chase and is within the Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bardy Lane is a pretty country road, at
times single track, which connects from Upper Longdon to Longon and
Gentleshaw. The village has a popular pub, whilst all lying within
six miles of Lichfield and four miles from Rugeley. To fully
appreciate the extent and quality of the accommodation an early
viewing would be strongly encouraged.
