Maple
Ashbrook Lane, Abbots Bromley
Why would someone choose Maple? Quite simply, because everything has already been done. Built only a few years ago and exceptionally well cared for since, this is a home that needs no updating, no decorating and no compromise. Every room has been thoughtfully finished, creating a property that is ready to move straight into and enjoy from day one.

Occupying a peaceful position on Ashbrook Lane, just a short stroll from the centre of Abbots Bromley, Maple offers the perfect balance between modern living and village life. The cafés, pubs, village shop and sports facilities are all within easy walking distance, yet the property itself enjoys a peaceful setting with a beautifully landscaped garden and two allocated parking spaces.

At the heart of the home is a superb open plan kitchen, dining and living space that has been designed around the way people live today. Bright, spacious and wonderfully sociable, it is easy to imagine family breakfasts before school, friends gathered around the dining table or quiet evenings with the French doors open onto the garden.

The welcoming entrance hall provides an attractive introduction to the property and leads through to the beautifully appointed kitchen. Fitted with an excellent range of contemporary cabinetry, solid oak work surfaces and an impressive selection of integrated appliances, including a Neff double oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge freezer, it offers everything needed for modern living whilst maintaining a clean, elegant finish.

Open to the kitchen is the dining area, creating a natural space for everyday family life as well as entertaining. A generous storage cupboard keeps everything neatly organised, while quality flooring flowing throughout the ground floor enhances the feeling of space.

To the rear, the lounge enjoys lovely views over the landscaped garden through large windows and French doors. Filled with natural light throughout the day, it provides a comfortable place to relax whilst effortlessly extending outside during the warmer months.

Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned guest cloakroom.

The quality of presentation continues upstairs.

The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Bedroom two is another generous double, while bedroom three offers excellent versatility. Currently arranged as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, it could equally become a nursery, child's bedroom or a home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a stylish modern suite including a P-shaped bath with shower over, providing both practicality and comfort for everyday family life.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive yet low maintenance outdoor space. A paved patio sits immediately outside the French doors, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining. Steps lead to a further seating area beneath an aluminium gazebo, creating another wonderful place to relax or entertain. Well-kept lawns, attractive borders, modern fencing, external power points, a timber shed and gated side access complete a garden that has clearly been designed to be enjoyed rather than simply maintained.

To the rear of the property are two allocated parking spaces, providing convenient off-road parking for both residents and visitors.

Why People Love Abbots Bromley
One of the greatest attractions of Maple is undoubtedly its location. Abbots Bromley has long been regarded as one of Staffordshire's most desirable villages and was proudly recognised twice by The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Live in the Midlands. It is a village where people don't simply live, they become part of a thriving and welcoming community.

A short stroll from the property brings you to Antlers Coffee House, a favourite meeting place for friends and neighbours. Whether it's breakfast before work, coffee after the school run or a leisurely lunch, it is one of those places that quickly becomes part of everyday life.

The village enjoys a wonderful choice of traditional pubs, each with its own personality. The Goat's Head regularly hosts live music, quiz nights and community events throughout the year, making it a vibrant social hub. The Crown has earned an excellent reputation for its food and welcoming atmosphere, while The Bagot Arms is well known for its popular steak nights, curry evenings and friendly hospitality.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, ABSA (Abbots Bromley Sports Association) is at the heart of village life. Recent investment has seen the addition of impressive new cricket practice nets, while throughout the summer months the beautifully maintained cricket ground provides the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon watching local cricket. The grounds also offer football facilities and a modern all-weather sports court, completed last year, ensuring there is something for all ages.

The village centre is home to the tennis club with its well-maintained courts, alongside the traditional crown green bowling club, both of which warmly welcome new members. Nearby, the Community Shop, run by local volunteers, has become an invaluable part of village life and perfectly reflects the community spirit that makes Abbots Bromley so special.

The Village Hall hosts a busy calendar of activities throughout the year, from aerobics and yoga classes to children's dance groups, community clubs and seasonal events, ensuring there is always something taking place.

Just a little further along is Cobwebs Courtyard, a delightful collection of independent businesses including a traditional butcher, hair salon, coffee shop renowned for its homemade cakes and several specialist retailers, making it a wonderful place to shop locally.

Families are particularly well served by the highly regarded Richard Clarke First School, before progressing to Oldfields Hall Middle School and Thomas Alleyne's High School. Independent education is also available nearby at Denstone College.

Despite its peaceful rural surroundings, Abbots Bromley enjoys excellent connectivity. Burton upon Trent, Lichfield, Rugeley and Uttoxeter are all within easy reach, while Rugeley Trent Valley railway station provides direct services to London. Excellent road links via the A38 and A50 make commuting across the Midlands straightforward.
