This abundantly elegant property is advised to date back to the late 1800s, originally serving as the the carriage house for a neighbouring property, before being converted into this illustrious home exactly 100 years later in 1991. 

The accommodation is set across two floors and seamlessly blends traditional, characterful charm with modern luxury. The ground floor home to a particularly tasteful and high specification breakfast kitchen with original quarry tiles, as well as two impeccable reception rooms (dining room, a very large and equally versatile fourth double bedroom and cloakroom, whilst to the first floor are three generous double bedrooms and the stunning main family bathroom, with the Master suite complete with dressing area and contemporary en-suite shower room. A shared approach leads up to a wonderfully spacious driveway, offering parking for a plethora of vehicles, whilst the aforementioned spectacular grounds consist of pristine lawns, various specimen trees and shrubs, and little snippets of history. Tucked away to one side is a superb bath house/leisure suite, offering endless potential to serve as a home gym, games room or even as a separate annex, subject to permissions. 

Picturesque and rural views can be found to all sides, with sights of Lichfield and the city's spires available to the front, and beautiful adjoining countryside to the rear. The journey itself into Lichfield is approximately just six to seven minutes, with an extensive array of amenities available, including various upmarket bars/restaurants (including the Michelin-Star 'Upstairs' by Tom Shepherd), the award-winning Beacon Park, Lichfield Cathedral (with the independent and private Lichfield Cathedral school), and both Lichfield train stations, offering direct links to Birmingham, London and other surrounding areas.
