Description

A truly exceptional and wonderfully elegant 1950s family home, extending to 3,297 sq.ft of flawlessly stylish internal accommodation, sitting centrally on a manicured plot of approximately a quarter of an acre. Occupying an enviable position on one of Lichfield's finest addresses within easy walking distance of the City Centre, this extensive home is dripping with original features and has been substantially extended and fully renovated in recent years and now comprises: Two formal reception rooms on the ground floor accompanied by a striking kitchen dining and family room, a yoga studio with separate staircase to the first floor, which also doubles up as a playroom, an elegant hallway with original parquet flooring (continuing in to receptions), guest cloakroom and utility. The upper floors are even more impressive with five bedrooms and three bathrooms radiating from a vast landing on the first floor, the principal bedroom boasting a 'secret' en suite shower room, a second bedroom suite also with an en suite with stairs to the yoga room, and three further bedrooms, one with a Juliet balcony, and a most impressive luxury bathroom. The second floor provides a further two rooms with the final bedroom currently 'unfinished' and used for storage, but with huge potential for a games room or office.

Externally the property has the rare benefit of extensive gardens extending to 0.25 of an acre with a large private driveway, stylish garden to the front and a single integral garage with sectional electric door. To the rear is the most beautifully landscaped and lavishly stocked rear garden, which has clearly been meticulously cared for by the present owners for many years. Offering an attractive mix of patio seating areas, stylishly planted borders, established trees and shrubs and a neat vegetable garden.

Viewing is essential to appreciate the sheer size and charming nature of this property, its enviable location and ease of access to the City Centre.

WHY WE LOVE THIS HOUSE...

"I still remember the excitement of viewing Hanbury Lodge 20+ years ago. This was it! Fast forward and it has supported us through some sad times but equally lots of gloriously happy times – isn’t that what a “home” is supposed to do? We are about to embark on a new chapter of our lives and so with that it is time for a new generation to experience the joy of living in this great spot and walk in and go “this is it!”
