Forget everything you think you know about bungalows — this one completely rewrites the rulebook. Rather than feeling compact, this home feels like a generously sized house that just happens to sit beautifully across one level. Space flows effortlessly inside and out, and from the moment you arrive, it's clear this is something special. Set in the sought-after rural village of Bednall (yes, that Bednall — home of the famous PYO pumpkins), the location strikes that perfect balance: rural but not remote. With no passing traffic beyond residents, peace and quiet come as standard, yet Cannock, Stafford and Cannock Chase AONB are all within easy reach. In fact, you're just five minutes from the heart of the Chase, while still being incredibly well connected — London in around 95 minutes, Birmingham in 45, and Manchester Airport about an hour by car. Views stretch across open countryside both front and rear, giving the home a wonderfully calm, grounded feel.

The property itself sits proudly on a generous plot, with ample driveway parking for at least four cars — or even a motorhome if European road trips are part of the plan. The exterior is full of charm, with pale yellow render softened by exposed stone detailing, and inside the sense of space continues immediately. A wide, flowing hallway links the entire home, giving access to all rooms without ever feeling cramped. The main lounge is expansive, dual-aspect and flooded with light — a true living space rather than something you need to squeeze furniture into. Opposite sits another large, flexible room currently used as a dining room, but easily adaptable as a fourth bedroom or substantial home office. A further bedroom is currently a study but has previously served as a bedroom just as comfortably.

Towards the rear, the layout really comes into its own. Bedroom two is a generous double with its own en-suite, while the kitchen/diner is a standout space — large, sociable and perfectly positioned to enjoy uninterrupted countryside views. A central island is ideal for morning coffees, there's space for a dining table overlooking the garden, integrated appliances, a hidden pantry and a tucked-away utility to keep everything practical as well as beautiful. The master bedroom sits quietly to the rear too, enjoying those same tranquil views, complete with its own en-suite. Outside, the garden offers a broad lawn framed by mature shrubs and a generous patio — perfect for soaking up the scenery — while a large double garage completes the picture.

A home that feels rural without feeling isolated, spacious without being overwhelming, and versatile enough to grow with whatever chapter comes next. If you've been searching for countryside living with comfort, connection and calm in equal measure — this might just be the one.

Located on a Coalfield: We have a report by the International Mining Consultants Limited dated February 1995 suggesting some remedial works to the roof. On 14 February they carried a further survey and found the remedial works had been carried out as per their recommendations and appeared satisfactory. We had a RICS survey carried out on 18 December 2018 and that was ok. The building has always been insured with no problem.
