Situated in a stunning rural location, a mile and a half from both the pretty villages of Codsall and Albrighton, their excellent schools and amenities, not to mention their railway stations and accessibility for the town and the motorway network. The original farmhouse stood in its current position for well over a hundred years with minimal changes having been made. The present owners took possession in 2007 and the daunting project they embarked upon has taken until now to complete. They knew that the enviable location, with its incredible views would be worth the effort.
Two years for the architect designed plans to be passed (it is 30% bigger than before) and the remainder completing the work, this was not a job for the faint hearted! The house has literally been taken down to the ground and rebuilt using the original bricks, and now includes top grade roof and cavity wall insulation (almost unheard of in a property of this nature), oak framed double glazed windows and external doors, solid oak internal doors, all singing and dancing technical specification to a superlative level and a fabulous open plan layout downstairs. In addition, the property offers a large hall and two additional reception rooms, and upstairs, huge bedrooms with three out of the five having ensuite bathrooms plus a palatial family bathroom ( all kitted out with complementing Porcelainosa tiles and similar Duravit suites. Having a huge cellar partially converted to include a cinema room and a large loft, the accommodation available is exceptional.
The high specifications of the bathrooms and kitchen, enhanced by an attention to detail with regards ambient spotlighting and under floor electric heating throughout, add up to a superb level of comfort and luxury. The natural finishes of travertine and oak together with bitter chocolate Wengi bathroom furniture and monochrome tiling adds up to a minimalist contemporary treatment that is both homely and stylish. The understated muted colours and uncomplicated spacious design and layout sets off the incredible view from almost every window. Huge banks of windows and folding doors frame far reaching views (as far as the Wrekin!), which have been exploited to maximum effect and are quite literally breath taking. South facing, they engulf the property with light.
Outside there is a large balcony with panoramic views accessed from the master bedroom and an enormous terrace off the dining area. From here, elevated from the garden and with the perfect, unblemished pastoral views gently sloping away, and with its own three fields extending as far as the pretty railway bridge in the distance, the feeling of vast openness is mitigated only by the sense of privacy as there is not a house or road in sight. Planning permission has been granted for electric gates, a significant triple garage and store room and for the large containers. Ideal for someone desiring an equestrian property, having three separate fields, a stable block could easily be incorporated within this footprint if required. The property is heated by ground source electric heating and the lack of radiators enhances the uncluttered feel.
