New Leaze, Uttoxeter Road, Abbots Bromley, WS15

Once the village's old police station, New Leaze is a historic and beautiful period property situated in the heart of Abbots Bromley’s picturesque Conservation Area. Dating back to the 1830s, this three/four bedroom property is brimming with character, with charming features complemented by recent and tasteful upgrades including a refitted kitchen, family bathroom and landscaped garden. Taking its name from the old English term for ‘New Meadow’ New Leaze sits within a wonderfully secluded garden plot, benefitting from gated parking as well as space to add garaging (subject to relevant permissions). The property balances modern convenience with period charm, and care has been taken to retain original character features such as oak beams, cupboards, doors and fireplaces.

New Leaze has five rooms to the ground floor – a beamed lounge with mezzanine floor, separate dining room, a good sized study/ fourth bedroom, a beautifully appointed refitted kitchen and a conservatory with magnificent garden views. Upstairs, a 22’ landing leads to three well proportioned double bedrooms, a luxurious refitted family bathroom and a walk in wardrobe with generous hanging space. An outstanding feature of New Leaze is the beautifully landscaped three-tiered garden, which includes a stunning variety of Japanese maples, cherry trees and other specimen trees, having a large gated parking area accessed via Harley Lane.

All windows have been replaced with double glazing, with the frames at the front featuring stained glass tops, and bespoke stained glass in the conservatory is another attractive and unique touch. The property is serviced by gas central heating, with upgraded radiators and a high-end Worcester Bosch boiler which is still under guarantee. New Leaze offers a combination of rural tranquillity and modern convenience – the rear garden leads out to open countryside whilst the front is just a stroll away from the village centre, shops, restaurants and pubs.
