Set on a prestigious lane in the heart of Elford is this beautifully presented Victorian character cottage, benefitting from thoroughly refurbished interiors, three bedrooms and secluded walled gardens. Originally dating back to the 1850s, this charming village home has been remodelled sympathetically by the existing vendors to include a full rewire and new plumbing, a new kitchen, family bathroom and separate en-suite, with planning approval for a ground floor extension with lantern roof light to create an expansive open plan living and dining kitchen.

The interiors to this charming village home comprise entrance hall, sitting room with wood burning stove, country style dining kitchen, utility and cloakroom to the ground floor, with three bedrooms to the first floor serviced by a family bathroom and master en-suite.

Outside, additional parking has been created via a large private driveway at the front aspect, and the secluded walled garden features a variety of soft fruits, a small vegetable garden and a mature apple tree together with two brick and tiled outbuildings and raised beds. The cottage is fitted with double glazed windows and energy efficient Haverland electric heaters which are individually programmable.

The cottage lies in the rural picturesque and historic riverside village of Elford on The Square, a tranquil and secluded cul de sac lined with mature trees and similar character homes. This desirable cottage lies within the Conservation Area. The Village is a thriving community serviced by amenities including cricket and football clubs, children’s playground, the Crown public house, a village hall, the ancient St Peter's Church and the highly regarded Howard Primary School.

The community funded Elford Hall Gardens are a short walk from the property and centre around an historic two and a half acre walled garden where vegetable plots are maintained by village residents. The village is set within picturesque Staffordshire countryside mid-way between Tamworth, with its range of shops and amenities such as Ventura Retail Park and the Snow Dome Leisure Centre, and the Cathedral City of Lichfield, with its regular public train and bus links to various destinations. Elford is just over 20 miles from Birmingham and its International Airport. London can be reached from rail stations in Lichfield and Tamworth in around 80 minutes.
