High Chase Rise, Little Haywood, Stafford

The room that changes the house
The vaulted living room is the heart of High Chase Rise – tall, light and wonderfully open, with six rooflights, a galleried landing, wood-burning stove and doors opening straight into the garden. It is a room that works just as well for a quiet winter evening as it does with the doors open on a summer afternoon.

A house that reveals itself from the garden
It is from the garden that the scale and individuality of High Chase Rise really become apparent. The extensions have created a substantial home, with the main living spaces arranged to make the most of the garden and the light.

Made for everyday life
The extended kitchen and dining space is warm and sociable, with granite worktops, integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and a second wood-burning stove. Two sets of French doors connect the room to the garden, so indoors and outdoors naturally become one space when the weather behaves.
There is also a separate utility room and a ground-floor shower room – practical details that make a surprisingly big difference.

Cannock Chase – part of the view, not a day out
One of the pleasures of High Chase Rise is the setting. Cannock Chase is only around half a mile away, and its wooded landscape forms part of the outlook from the house – a view that changes with the seasons.

The Trent & Mersey Canal is even closer, giving traffic-free walks towards Shugborough Estate in one direction and towards Wolseley Bridge in the other. Little Haywood has two pubs, while nearby Great Haywood adds a pub, cafe/restaurant, chemist, village shop, GP surgery, dentist and the popular Canalside Farm Shop and Cafe.

Four bedrooms – with the flexibility for five
Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes; another has its own en-suite shower room; and a further bedroom has a Juliet balcony overlooking the hot tub and garden. Downstairs, the separate study is a genuine third reception room and could also work as an occasional fifth double bedroom.

Space that can change with you
Alongside the main living rooms is a versatile third reception room – a useful extra space that can adapt as life changes. It works naturally as a home office, snug, playroom or hobby room, but is large enough to become an occasional fifth double bedroom when needed.
That flexibility matters. It means the house can offer four bedrooms and three reception rooms for everyday living, or five sleeping spaces when family or guests come to stay – without asking one room to do the same job all the time.

A welcoming arrival – and practical bathrooms
The entrance hall gives the house a bright, welcoming first impression and provides a natural link between the main living spaces. Upstairs, the family bathroom and en-suite serve the bedrooms, while the ground-floor shower room adds useful flexibility for guests, family life and anyone using the study as a fifth bedroom.

Not just a garden.
A place to disappear into.
Mature planting – hot tub – water feature – seating areas – detached insulated building

A garden with rooms of its own
The garden wraps around the house, with lawns, richly planted beds, mature trees, a flowing stone water feature and several places to sit, eat or simply enjoy the quiet.

The hot tub sits alongside the house, connecting naturally with the living space and overlooked by the Juliet balcony above.

There is off-road parking for up to five cars and an EV charger at the front.

A proper workspace – away from the house
At the end of the garden is a substantial detached larch building, fully insulated and finished with timber roof tiles. Measuring approximately 4.6m × 3.3m internally (15.2m² / 163 sq ft), it has room for two or three workstations and offers exceptional potential as a home office, studio or creative workspace.
Its real appeal is separation: work from home without working in the house. The nearby utility room, with its own external entrance and shower room beyond, could potentially support a kitchenette or ancillary facilities, while the dining-room/utility door allows this part of the house to be separated. The property also has parking for up to five cars.
The deeds permit working from home, subject to any necessary consents.

A home to explore, rather than simply view.
