Sitting prettily on this most desirable of country lanes (arguably the best address within the Wolverhampton environs), on the brow of the hill amongst this exclusive hamlet of largely similarly historical properties, Old Nurton has that wonderful authentic olde worlde charm courtesy of a plethora of original features and the sympathetic manner in which it has been modernised. The drive home from Wolverhampton, just 7 miles away, is bound to leave a massive smile on your face. And the drive down the hill, perhaps on the way to work, with the most spectacular view unfolding in front of you, is literally to die for. Old Nurton is situated on the fringe of a South Staffordshire village close to local amenities including schooling up to the age of 9 in Pattingham with public schools available in Albrighton, Tettenhall and Wolverhampton and there are leisure facilities afforded by Patshull Park. Communications are excellent with easy access to the motorway network via junction 3 of the M54 nearby at Albrighton.
Purportedly dating back to 1840, the house exudes a welcoming ambience from the moment of crossing the threshold. There is nothing forced or pretencious here; the original quarries and the honey coloured old beams together with exposed brick chimney breasts housing cast iron fires are just how they should be. Warm and charismatic. Everything begins and ends with the dining hall; an excellent, versatile and spacious living space and congregational point which appears to be very much the heart of the house. The reception rooms, kitchen and the staircase all lead from here and the accommodation has a lovely, natural flow to it, which is also particularly conducive to a relaxed family living style.
The house is certainly cosy, in that it is sublimely comfortable, and also very well proportioned. And light. The large living room at the back, part of a two storey extension carried out in the eighties impercetively merges with the original house and provides a fabulous entertaining space with several windows and French doors to three elevations. Ideally situated at the back of the house it enjoys a quiet, private outlook with the views of the gorgeous country garden bursting through the numerous windows. Whilst the house as it stands provides sizable, well-balanced accommodation, there is potential, subject to the usual consents for further extension if required.
