Millbrook Drive, Shenstone

REF: JC0739 - Tucked away at the very end of Millbrook Drive, where the cul-de-sac falls quiet and you’re left with nothing but calm, sits a house that’s been completely reimagined.

What was once a five-bed, three-bath with no en-suites has been stripped back, redesigned and rebuilt into something altogether more exciting. A four-bed family home that oozes style, flow and that rare feeling of “this is it.”

The kitchen really is the heart here, but not in the throwaway way most houses claim.

It’s been designed as the kind of space that makes family life work. Walls of glass flooding in light, sleek cabinetry that hides the clutter, and a layout that pulls everyone together. Breakfast on the island, big weekend lunches around the table, or doors wide open onto the decking with food and laughter spilling outside.  It’s the star because it’s not just a kitchen, it’s where the whole house hums.

The ground floor stretches and flexes around the way you live. A lounge made for sinking in at the end of the day, a conservatory that blurs into the garden, a snug/playroom that keeps toys (or teenagers) contained, and plenty of space so working from home feels like a choice, not a compromise.

Upstairs is where the transformation continues to shine. The master suite isn’t just a bedroom, it’s an experience. Behind a wood-panelled wall, a hidden dressing room unfolds like something from a boutique hotel. Clever, indulgent and brilliantly practical. Step through again into the en-suite, a calm, spa-like retreat with high-end finishes and a vibe that makes mornings feel less like a rush and more like a ritual.

The other bedrooms are generous and light, perfect for kids, guests or whatever else life throws at you, with a landing so wide and airy it feels like another room in its own right.

And then, the garden. Backing straight onto Shenstone’s nature reserve, you’re not overlooked. Just wrapped in greenery, birdsong and the sense of space. A large deck with zones for lounging and dining, lawns big enough for a kick around, and a children’s play area tucked to one side make it as practical as it is beautiful.

From the neat block-paved drive with security posts and EV charger out front with space for several cars, to the thoughtful layout inside and that killer garden out back, this house doesn’t just tick boxes, it sets the standard.

It’s the home people walk into and instantly imagine living in. Stylish, functional, and a little bit show-stopping, this is the forever home you didn’t think you’d find.


Location

Living in Shenstone has that rare mix of village charm and real practicality. It’s the kind of place where you can pop to the pub on foot, walk round to the butchers, or nip to the Tesco express for milk, but also be on the train to Birmingham or Lichfield in minutes. Millbrook Drive in particular, is one of those tucked-away spots people love: a quiet cul-de-sac where kids can play out safely and you’re only a short stroll from the heart of the village.

The schools here are a big draw too. Greysbrooke primary school is just down the road and really well-regarded, while older kids have great options in Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield, with both private and state choices within easy reach. Families move here for the education as much as the lifestyle.

Transport-wise, you couldn’t be better connected for such a peaceful spot. Shenstone station is a few minutes’ walk from the village centre and puts you on a direct line to Birmingham New Street or Lichfield Trent Valley in no time. By car, the A5, A38 and M6 Toll are all close, giving quick access to the wider Midlands and beyond.

Day-to-day amenities are spot on. There’s a doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, dentist, a Tesco express and a handful of independent shops and takeaways for an easy midweek option. For a proper night out, the village pubs are a gem. The Plough is a favourite for Sunday lunch, while The Fox & Hounds has that relaxed country vibe for a pint by the fire. And when you want more, Lichfield’s historic centre with its restaurants, bars and cathedral is only a few minutes’ drive.

Millbrook Drive itself backs onto open green space and the nature reserve, so you get the best of village life plus that feeling of being surrounded by countryside. It’s one of those locations where you can go for a dog walk straight from your door but still be back in time for the school run or your train commute.

In short, living here gives you the village lifestyle people crave, with schools, shops, pubs and parks all on your doorstep, and the city just a short hop away. No wonder Shenstone is one of the most sought-after addresses around.
