A family home that may just leave the neighbours green with envy!

Behind its attractive traditional frontage lies a family home full of surprises, combining the warmth and character of its original accommodation with a spectacular contemporary extension and an exceptional rear garden. Beautifully evolved for modern family life, the property offers two individual reception rooms, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a showpiece kitchen, dining and living space which completely transforms the rear of the home.

The property is approached through a bright glazed entrance porch, providing useful space for coats and footwear before an attractive character entrance door opens into the welcoming hallway. Natural timber flooring brings warmth to the space, with the staircase rising to the first floor and access provided to the principal ground-floor rooms, together with a conveniently positioned guest WC.

Two separate reception rooms provide excellent versatility.

The first is a wonderfully inviting character sitting room, enhanced by rich timber flooring and a striking ornate cast-iron period-style fireplace with decorative detailing creating an immediate focal point. Across the hallway, the second reception provides another generous yet comfortable living space, combining fitted cabinetry and shelving with a traditional fireplace and inset stove, while French doors connect directly with the rear garden. Whether used as a formal lounge, snug, home office or quieter family room, having two distinct reception spaces is a real strength.

The transformation becomes particularly impressive towards the rear, where the owners have created an outstanding open-plan kitchen, breakfast, dining and family room designed around modern-day living. The kitchen itself has a sleek contemporary finish, incorporating an extensive range of handleless cabinetry, integrated cooking appliances and a magnificent central island topped with substantial quartz work surfaces. The island incorporates a flush-mounted induction hob and generous breakfast-bar seating, complemented by feature pendant lighting above.

From here the room opens seamlessly into spacious dining and family-living zones, all unified by attractive herringbone-effect flooring. A dramatic glazed roof lantern positioned above the central living area floods the extension with natural light, while extensive glazing, including large sliding doors overlooking the garden, reinforces the connection between inside and outside. Recessed ceiling lighting, contemporary vertical radiators and carefully considered finishes complete what is unquestionably the heartbeat of the home — equally suited to family life, entertaining and relaxed weekends.

A substantial utility room sits conveniently alongside the kitchen and provides plentiful additional storage together with space and plumbing for laundry appliances and further household equipment. This forms part of the original garage, which has been divided to retain a further useful storage area to the front behind the original up-and-over door.

Upstairs, the generous landing is bright and welcoming, with a window drawing in additional natural. A large storage cupboard fully shelved for convenient storage. Convenient loft hatch with wooden loft ladders for ease of access to a fully lit and boarded loft, with fitted shelves for storage.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a particularly appealing double room with an impressive broad bay window and plantation-style shutters, a wall-mounted air conditioning unit and space for substantial bedroom furniture. The remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for children, guests, dressing space or working from home, with the rear-facing accommodation enjoying a particularly pleasant leafy outlook across the garden.

The family bathroom provides another striking contemporary contrast to the home's traditional origins. Finished with dramatic large-format marble-effect wall and floor tiling, it incorporates a bath with glazed shower screen and overhead shower, fitted cabinetry, chrome detailing and a wall mounted towel rail radiator, creating a smart boutique-style finish.

Outside, the front of the property is framed by established hedging and mature greenery, creating an attractive and private approach. A broad gravel driveway provides generous off-road parking for several vehicles, while access alongside the property connects naturally with the rear.

The rear garden is quite simply one of the property's defining features. Immediately outside the extension is a generous paved terrace providing an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining and summer seating, with the extensive glazing from the open-plan living area allowing the two spaces to work beautifully together.

Beyond the terrace stretches a remarkably deep lawned garden — considerably larger than first impressions from inside the house might suggest. Mature hedging, established trees and substantial evergreen planting create wonderful privacy and a genuinely leafy setting, while the garden continues towards a more secluded area at the far end. A substantial timber garden store provides useful storage, and the sheer depth of the plot creates enormous scope for children, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying an unusually generous outdoor environment.

Positioned within the highly regarded village of Penkridge, the property combines this impressive feeling of space with excellent everyday convenience. The village offers shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, a library, leisure centre and its well-known twice-weekly market, while schooling locally includes several first schools, Penkridge Middle School and Wolgarston High School. Penkridge railway station is approximately 0.6km from the postcode and provides regular services towards Stafford, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Crewe and Liverpool, while the A449 and nearby M6 provide excellent road connections for commuters.
