Description
No upward chain - A truly luxurious two double bedroom retirement penthouse apartment for the over 70's, nestled in Lichfield's thriving city centre as part of the significantly highly regarded McCarthy Stone development on Rotten Row.
A substantial private balcony provides spectacular far-reaching views over the city, with various beautiful spires perched along the skyline including all three of Lichfield Cathedral's and St Mary's Church, whilst offering a natural home for alfresco dining and relaxing during the warmer months of the year.
The views remain prominent even from within the property, with large windows featuring consistently throughout, each allowing plenty of natural light to flood the home. A beautifully appointed and generous living room, tasteful contemporary kitchen and flexible dining room/office make up the living space, whilst two impressive double bedrooms (the Master with walk-in wardrobe and a door leading out to the balcony), a large shower room and additional guest WC make up the resting quarters.
It's safe to say that the quality of location lives up to the calibre of the property, with all of Lichfield's most popular amenities sitting comfortably within walking distance, including a wide range of bars/restaurants (including the Michelin-starred 'Upstairs' by Tom Shepherd), the award-winning Beacon Park, major supermarkets and Lichfield City train station, offering a direct line to Birmingham and other surrounding areas, whilst just a mile in the opposite direction is Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with a direct line to London; journeys as short as just one hour and fifteen minutes.
Stowe Place is more than just a collection of marvellous apartments, with an array of on-site facilities, events and support available, including a 24/7 on-site manager, an on-site chef-run bistro with seasonal menus, immaculately maintained communal gardens and even a hotel-style guest suite, making it easy for friends and family to stay over.
Only an in-person viewing will do a property of this calibre justice; we must advise calling at your earliest convenience to get booked in.
