Description

A truly complete, marvellously presented and substantial five bedroom detached family home, nestled on the edge of the highly desirable and semi-rural village of Hill Ridware. Originally built as two charming cottages back in the 1800s, this superb Victorian residence on Rake End boasts consistently very spacious room sizes and an idyllic plot made up of a mature and attractive frontage, secure gated parking lying adjacent to the property, and an exquisitely maintained, private, leafy and landscaped garden to the rear. 

Location-wise, Hill Ridware is one of Staffordshire's most sought after villages, thanks to its quaint nature, community spirit, abundant surrounding countryside and proximity to Lichfield and other surrounding areas, which is now accessible via the recently introduced bus service. 

The accommodation is light and airy throughout and set across two floors; the ground floor featuring ornamental fireplaces and Minton-style tiling, home to three flexible and tastefully appointed reception rooms, a particularly naturally bright kitchen/diner and utility room, whilst the first floor is made up of all five impressive bedrooms (Master with high specification Villeroy & Boch en-suite) and the main bathroom. 

This property excels in just about every department without compromise; we must advise booking in a viewing in order to appreciate the disappointment of missing out.

Exterior

The property sits on a particularly attractive plot, with a charming frontage consisting of two separate shrub beds, protected by beautifully kept low level hedges to the perimeters and housing a range of mature and ornamental shrubs. Between the shrub beds is a stone pathway that leads up to the front door, whilst two separate brick paved driveways sit to either side of the property. Electrically operated vehicular gates open to a spacious and secure brick paved parking area, providing off-road parking. A wood store sits to one of the far corners whilst a wrought iron gate opens within a trellis fence to provide access to and from the rear garden. 

To the rear is a garden that is nothing short of a private paradise, consisting of an extensive brick paved patio that runs along the nearest side of the property, expanding out to provide the ideal home for outdoor furniture. Within the patio is an impeccably maintained shrub bed, housing a range of mature and ornamental shrubs and trees. The theme of ornamental shrubs and trees runs throughout the entirety of the garden, with an abundance to all sides and dotted throughout. A very good size lawn provides a focal point, again housing ornamental trees. Various arched trellis fences provide natural points of entrance between the lawn and the patio, whilst to one side of the garden is a garden shed and landscaped decorative gravel pathways, housing multiple raised planter beds, perfect for growing crops. To the opposite side of the garden are two greenhouses. A door opens to provide access to and from the garage.
