Located on one of Staffordshire's premier roads, Brick Kiln House is a substantial country residence extending to just under 6,000 sq. Ft, together with triple garage block, gym, golf simulator and approx. 3.04 acres of grounds. Over their five-year tenure the current owners have extensively refurbished and remodelled the house with a full back to brick refurbishment which has included a rewire, replumb, new windows, new kitchen, bathrooms, landscaping, substantial principal suite with balcony and reconfigured entertainment suite. This comprehensive refurbishment has left no area untouched so that Brick Kiln House now offers a turn key opportunity.
Entered via an oak framed porch, a wide entrance door opens to the entrance hall which offers access to the living and entertainment wings of the house. Occupying a vast area off the right of the entrance hall is the entertainment wing which has been completed remodelled by the current owners and now includes a 27-foot dining room with a range of fitted cabinetry which leads on to a bright orangery and then on to the bar area. The dining space provides an area for formal entertaining, while the triple aspect orangery with glass lantern offers informal seating with doors to the rear terrace, as well as being open plan to the bar which includes open storage and space for appliances. Both the dining room and bar open to a lobby with staircase to first floor as well as a door to the drawing room. This bright dual aspect space includes plenty of space for seating, double doors to the terrace and fireplace with Chesney stove. This end of the house is completed by the guest WC and two studies which both offer excellent garden views.
The living wing occupies the opposite end of the ground floor and includes a delightful sitting room / TV room which enjoys delightful dual aspect garden views. The kitchen is a standout space which runs front to back and includes a hand built Daniel Wayman designed kitchen. There is a range of beautifully appointed painted wall, floor and island cabinetry all set beneath a solid marble work surface. There is an aga and Quooker boiling tap as well as range of integrated Gaggenau appliances such as dishwasher, coffee machine, pair of steam ovens, fridge, freezer, and drinks fridge. A boot room, shower room and utility continue on from the kitchen whilst the dedicated gym includes double doors to the garden.
An elegant staircase rises from the lobby to the first-floor landing. The first floor has been reconfigured to provide spacious and well-proportioned bedroom accommodation. The principal suite is of epic proportions and spans one side of the first floor. There is a sitting area with south facing balcony, a vast dual aspect bedroom leads to a dressing room with open fronted wardrobes and racks to both sides whilst the en suite bathroom with separate shower and dual sinks completes the suite. There are a further three double bedrooms at first floor level, with the guest suite having a dressing area and en suite, as well as a spacious family bathroom. The second floor offers a further suite which includes a dressing area and en suite.
Entered via electric gates and a recently tarmacked driveway, the gardens and grounds have been relandscaped to provide an idyllic setting. The driveway opens to a parking area for numerous vehicles, which in turn leads to the triple garage block which includes games room above. Pathways lead around both sides of the house to various seating areas including a walled garden and expansive south facing terrace which offers an abundance of space for entertaining. Various pathways meander through the grounds and lead to a greenhouse, gardeners' kitchen and outbuilding which is currently used as a golf simulator. There is a putting green, lake with waterfall, bridge and breeze house nestled on one side. Various lawned areas are interspersed by specimen trees and herbaceous shrubs. All in all, the plot totals approx. 3.04 acres.
