Set at the very end of Paget Rise, this five bedroom detached home occupies one of the most peaceful residential positions within the village. The road itself is a small and established cul de sac, shaped by familiarity rather than movement, and the house sits quietly at its furthest point. With no passing traffic and little interruption, there is a sense of stillness here that is increasingly rare, particularly within a village setting. What gives this location its particular appeal is the way this calm exists alongside true village living. The house sits firmly in the heart of Abbots Bromley, allowing daily life to be enjoyed on foot. The village centre, amenities and social spaces are all within easy reach, creating a lifestyle that feels both settled and connected. Paget Rise offers retreat without detachment, privacy without isolation. The approach to the house is composed and practical, with a driveway incorporating an electric vehicle charging point and access to an integral garage. A recently fitted gas combination boiler reflects ongoing investment in the home, providing efficient and reliable heating and hot water. The exterior is quietly confident, setting expectations of a house designed for longevity rather than display. Gated side access leads through to the rear garden, where a discreet external log store sits neatly alongside the house, reinforcing the sense of thoughtful and well considered use of space. Inside, the entrance hall introduces the house with a feeling of space and light. The layout unfolds naturally, allowing each room to be appreciated in turn. There is a clarity to the design that supports modern living without dictating how the space should be used, making the house feel immediately comfortable and intuitive. The principal reception room is generous and welcoming, a space that adapts easily to different rhythms of the day. It offers both openness and intimacy, enhanced by natural light and balanced proportions. Whether used for quiet evenings or shared moments, it remains relaxed rather than formal. At the centre of the home sits the open plan kitchen and dining room, designed as a place where daily life gathers. The kitchen is contemporary and streamlined, with storage and workspace carefully integrated to keep the room calm and uncluttered. The dining area sits comfortably alongside, lending itself to long, unhurried meals as well as everyday use. Doors open towards the garden, softening the boundary between inside and out and allowing the space to expand naturally during warmer months. A separate utility room adjoins the kitchen, offering valuable additional storage and keeping the practicalities of daily life discreetly out of view. A ground floor shower room adds further flexibility, ideal for guests or busy households where convenience is essential. Throughout the house, the sense of space is particularly striking. Rooms are presented with a quiet simplicity that allows their proportions, light and flow to take precedence. This understated backdrop offers a rare opportunity to fully appreciate the architecture and layout without distraction, inviting a buyer to imagine how the house could be shaped around their own style, collections and way of living. Rather than imposing a particular aesthetic, the interiors provide clarity and flexibility, lending themselves equally well to contemporary or more classic interpretations. The first floor continues this feeling of openness and adaptability. Five well proportioned bedrooms are arranged to make the most of light and outlook, each offering a calm and restful atmosphere. The principal bedroom provides a sense of retreat, with space to unwind at the end of the day and room to accommodate wardrobes and furnishings with ease. The remaining bedrooms are versatile in nature, well suited to family life, guests or home working. Two bathrooms serve the upper floor, finished in a style that feels current yet restrained, chosen for longevity rather than fashion. The larger of the two is particularly well proportioned, featuring a double sink arrangement and generous space that works comfortably for family use. Together, they support the needs of a modern household while maintaining continuity with the rest of the home. To the rear, the garden has been landscaped to create privacy and ease of use. It is a space designed to be lived in rather than managed, with areas for seating, planting and open lawn. Enclosed and settled, it offers a natural extension of the living spaces and a quiet backdrop to everyday life. Beyond the house, Abbots Bromley reveals itself as a village with depth, character and a strong sense of community. At its centre stands the Butter Cross, a landmark that has anchored village life for generations and continues to act as a natural meeting point. Close by, Antlers Coffee Shop has become an integral part of daily routine, offering a relaxed and welcoming place to meet, pause and connect. The village is internationally recognised for the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, an extraordinary tradition that reflects the strength of local identity and pride. It is one of many ways in which heritage here is lived rather than preserved at a distance. Social life is supported by four well-established public houses, each contributing to the village in its own way. The Bagot Arms, The Crown Inn, The Coach and Horses, and The Goat’s Head offer a range of settings, from relaxed dining to lively evenings. The Goat’s Head is particularly known for its regular social events, including live music and quiz nights, drawing together residents of all ages. Nearby Cobwebs is home to a collection of independent traders, including a traditional butcher, tasty pizza's and scrumptious cakes. It remains a place where familiarity and conversation are part of the experience. Recreation is well-woven into village life. Tennis courts and the Crown Green Bowling Club sit within the village centre beside the village hall, forming a social hub that hosts both sport and community events. Separately, the Abbots Bromley Sports Association provides facilities for cricket and football for all ages, alongside a newly installed all weather court, supporting both organised sport and everyday participation. Living at the end of Paget Rise offers the rare ability to step back from village life while remaining fully part of it. The quiet of the cul de sac provides a sense of retreat, while the village beyond offers connection, character and continuity. This is a home that combines calm, space and flexibility within a community that values tradition, involvement and quality of life, presenting an opportunity to settle with confidence in one of Staffordshire’s most enduring villages.
