The Grange, Upper Longdon

REF: JC0739 - Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac, The Grange is a home that has been completely reimagined, blending contemporary refinement with breathtaking natural surroundings. Since its purchase in 2022, the property has undergone an extensive renovation, leaving no detail untouched. From a full rewire and brand-new gas central heating system to new windows, flooring, and a beautifully designed kitchen and bathrooms. This is a home that not only stands renewed but also poised for its next chapter.

From the moment you arrive, the setting is captivating. Two driveways offer ample parking for three to four cars, while a generous double garage presents an exciting opportunity, whether transformed into a home gym, a spacious reception room, or something entirely bespoke. Step inside, and you are immediately met with a sense of space and light. To the left, the expansive lounge is a true centrepiece, featuring windows on three sides that flood the room with natural light, a patio door leading to the rear garden, and a log burner that anchors the space with warmth and character.

The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen, where integrated appliances including a hob, oven, wine cooler, fridge, and freezer, are seamlessly incorporated into a stylish, functional design. Positioned to take full advantage of the views across Cannock Chase, this space is as much about experience as it is about practicality. Just off the kitchen, the utility room offers further convenience, while a few steps lead to a remarkable elevated reception room. With panoramic views of the rolling landscape, this space is a true showstopper, perfect as an elegant dining area for hosting guests or a relaxed family space to soak in the ever-changing scenery. The addition of a balcony further enhances the connection to the outdoors, providing the ideal spot to enjoy golden-hour sunsets over the Chase.

The first floor continues to impress with four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite features built-in wardrobes, a sleek en-suite, and, once again, those mesmerising views, a perfect way to greet each morning. The second bedroom also enjoys this stunning outlook, while the remaining two bedrooms, one of which includes built-in storage, overlook the private rear garden. The family bathroom completes the upper level with a well-appointed layout, including a full-size bath.

The rear garden will be having some landscaping works carried out which are estimated to be completed by the 9th June, but will still have the scope for further potential. Its generous proportions lend themselves to a wealth of possibilities. Imagine a garden room, an outdoor kitchen, or a fire pit for long summer evenings. This outdoor space could become the final jewel in The Grange’s crown, perfectly complementing the impeccable interiors.

With its unparalleled setting, thoughtful renovation, and endless scope for further enhancement, The Grange is an exceptional home ready to welcome its next owners into a lifestyle defined by space, light, and the beauty of its surroundings.
