Bardy Lane, Upper Longdon, Rugeley, WS15

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 "back to brick" 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.
