Walhouse Street, Cannock

Paul Carr Estate Agents are delighted to present this exceptional four-bedroom detached period home, originally constructed circa 1900 and historically known as “The Old Dairy.” Extensively renovated and significantly extended by an interior designer, this truly individual property offers an impressive combination of original character, contemporary styling and spacious accommodation arranged across three floors.
A generous entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and leads into two beautifully presented reception rooms. The front lounge is warm and inviting, featuring a traditional bay window and an exposed-brick fireplace with log burner, while the separate snug offers a stylish additional living space with its own character fireplace and an open connection to the dining area.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the striking kitchen and dining space. Designed with entertaining in mind, the kitchen features sleek high-gloss cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, a generous island and a range of integrated appliances. Bold contemporary colours, roof lights and excellent natural light give the room a real sense of personality. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and opens seamlessly into the snug, creating a superb sociable setting for family gatherings and entertaining.
Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room, guest cloakroom, useful storage and an integral garage.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The impressive principal bedroom is complemented by an extensive dressing area with fitted storage and a spacious private en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are equally well presented, with one retaining a charming period fireplace.
Occupying the second floor is a superb fourth bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and additional storage. This highly versatile space would be ideal as a private guest suite, teenager’s bedroom or substantial home office.
The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation while carefully respecting its original heritage. Improvements have included substantial side and rear extensions, a loft conversion, reinstatement of the traditional front bay window, a renewed roof using original and sympathetically reclaimed tiles, rebuilt chimneys with the original chimney pots, updated wiring and replacement of the former lead water supply.
The original ground floors were excavated and insulated, with a wet underfloor heating system installed beneath polished porcelain tiling. Four Class 1 chimney flues serve the two reception rooms and two first-floor bedrooms, preserving further elements of the property’s period character.
Outside, a block-paved frontage provides generous off-road parking and access to the integral garage. The substantial rear garden offers a decked seating area, a generous lawn and mature screening, providing excellent space for both entertaining and family life.
At the bottom of the garden stands the original double stable, a fascinating reminder of the home’s former life as a dairy, where the horse that pulled the milk cart was once kept. The rear also retains double-gated access and a dropped kerb from Catton Street, giving the outbuilding and garden further versatility.
Rich in history, beautifully presented and filled with personality, this remarkable Cannock home is unlike anything else on the market. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate its exceptional space, character and quality.
