Situation - Situated on the rural edge of Harlaston, this property enjoys a wonderful blend of tranquillity, scenic open views, and excellent accessibility to nearby towns, transport routes, and everyday amenities. Rolling countryside surrounds the area, with numerous footpaths and bridleways beginning right from the doorstep — perfect for walking, cycling, or simply soaking up the peaceful Staffordshire setting.

Harlaston is a highly regarded village in the picturesque Mease Valley, known for its friendly community and characterful main street lined with historic properties. Within the village there is a parish church, a children’s play area, and the well-regarded White Lion pub and restaurant. For a more extensive choice of shops, leisure facilities, and entertainment, the market town of Tamworth and the cathedral city of Lichfield are both within easy reach.

Tamworth, around a 10-minute drive, offers a shopping centre, cinema, a variety of restaurants, and the historic Tamworth Castle. Lichfield combines rich heritage with a vibrant social scene, offering boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, and the delightful Beacon Park.

Commuters will appreciate the property’s excellent transport connections, with the A38 and M42 close by providing swift links to Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby. Both Birmingham and East Midlands Airports are within comfortable travelling distance. Rail services from Tamworth and Lichfield provide regular, direct routes into Birmingham and London, with journeys to the capital taking around 80 minutes.

Description Of Property - Set amidst beautifully landscaped grounds and surrounded by serene pastoral vistas, this exceptional farmhouse captivates with its stunning exposed beams, rich character, and meticulous attention to period detail throughout. From the grandeur of its façade to the intricacies found in each living space, this home offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort, designed for both relaxed country living and elegant entertaining.

Cellar/Wine Cellar – Lower Ground Level
Discreetly tucked beneath the main living quarters, a stone cellar provides additional storage, accessible from the lower ground.

Lower Ground Floor
An inviting games room anchors the lower level, providing a relaxed setting for recreation. A hallway leads to a charming spiral staircase, elegantly rising to the ground floor and enhancing the architectural appeal of the home.

Ground Floor
The Reception Hall sets the tone with its classic staircase, leading to the first-floor landing and direct access to Bedroom Five, forming a flexible layout for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. At the heart of the home lies the farmhouse-style kitchen, a spacious and beautifully crafted culinary space featuring a central island, integrated appliances, a ‘Rangemaster’ cooker, ample bespoke storage cupboards, and a generous walk-in pantry. Adjacent, the light-filled Breakfast Room opens through French doors onto the rear garden patio, creating an idyllic space for morning dining or coffee with garden views.

The elegant Dining Room, with expansive windows, frames picturesque views across the rear garden, making it ideal for formal entertaining. The adjacent Drawing Room exudes character and comfort, centered around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a Clearview log-burner. A large window invites natural light, while internal access flows into the Living Room, Office, Storage Area, and a second Entrance Hall with its own staircase to the first floor.

The Office, with its charming fireplace and French doors to the rear garden, offers an inspiring workspace or quiet retreat. The Living Room, defined by its bow-style bay windows and dual-aspect design, radiates warmth and grandeur. A Guest WC and additional storage space complete the ground floor.

First Floor
The first floor is accessed via the main staircase rising from the ground-floor reception hall and opens onto a spacious landing, thoughtfully designed with a fire door granting access to the principal hallway. From here, a large window overlooking the rear gardens fills the corridor with natural light and frames tranquil countryside views.

This level offers a well-considered layout of family bedrooms and amenities. Bedroom Two is positioned to one side of the hall, offering a peaceful and comfortable double room. At the opposite end lies Bedroom Three, thoughtfully fitted with built-in wardrobes, providing both charm and functionality. Bedroom Four, generously proportioned, features a walk-in closet, offering additional convenience and storage. A family bathroom, beautifully appointed, serves these rooms with a separate shower and traditional fittings, blending modern comfort with timeless style. The hallway also houses two useful storage cupboards—one housing the hot water tank, the other perfect for linens or household items.

Branching off from the main layout, a secondary landing—reached from the ground floor reception hall—leads to the delightful Bedroom Five. This room offers a sense of privacy and independence within the home, making it ideal for guests or extended family. It is complete with its own ensuite bathroom, including a separate shower, ensuring both comfort and seclusion.

Second Floor
The second floor is accessed via a continuation of the main staircase, ascending to a bright and open landing area, where natural light filters in to softly illuminate the uppermost level of the home. A large built-in storage cupboard offers ample space for household essentials or seasonal belongings, subtly integrated into the architecture of the floor.

A discreet fire door provides a sense of separation and privacy as it opens into the magnificent Principal Bedroom Suite. This exceptional space is both expansive and serene, designed as a true retreat from the rest of the home. The principal bedroom itself offers generous proportions and elegant finishes, while the adjoining ensuite bathroom is luxuriously appointed with two separate pedestal wash basins, a bidet, a separate shower, and a full-size bath—creating a spa-like experience.

Completing this remarkable suite is a spacious walk-in dressing room, designed to accommodate extensive wardrobe and storage needs, while maintaining the refined atmosphere that defines the entire property.

Gardens And Grounds - Accessed via a gated, gravel-paved driveway, the property is approached through beautifully manicured lawns flanking the path to the main entrance. Mature trees, hedgerows, and vibrant evergreens provide natural screening and enhanced privacy.

The rear garden is a particular highlight – a generous lawned expanse overlooking rolling golden agricultural fields, offering a sense of tranquillity and space rarely found. The rear patio, accessed from multiple ground-floor rooms, creates a perfect setting for alfresco dining or entertaining against the backdrop of lush greenery.

Outbuildings include a double garage, additional store, and a storage shed, all neatly positioned to complement the overall design while providing essential practicality.

A rare and refined offering, this breath-taking farmhouse seamlessly blends period charm with modern luxury, set within idyllic grounds that celebrate the beauty of the English countryside. Whether for a growing family, multi-generational living, or a country escape, this home delivers on every level.
