Lichfield Road, Edial, Burntwood

REF: JC0739 - Now this is one of those homes where you don’t just buy bricks and mortar… You’re buying a slice of history, and a seriously good one at that.

There’s something quite special about knowing the very first records of this home date all the way back to the 1600s. And yet, fast forward a few centuries and here you’ve got over 1,800sqft of beautifully balanced living space that works exactly how modern life needs it to. Old soul, modern mindset… The best kind of combination.

The original cottage element still holds all that charm you’d hope for too such as a thatched roof that really keeps the history going.

Inside, the space just keeps giving. The main bedroom is exactly what you want it to be. Generous, calm, and complete with its own en-suite, while the additional rooms offer flexibility depending on how life looks for you right now. Whether that’s more bedrooms, workspace, or a bit of both, it’s all there.

And then… Bedroom two. Now this is where things get interesting.

Set up in the loft-style space with those exposed beams cutting across the ceiling, it’s got that tucked-away, almost “secret den” feel to it. Whether it becomes a teenager’s dream room, a creative space, or just the best guest room anyone’s ever stayed in, it’s one of those rooms people will remember.

But let’s be honest, as good as the house is, the outside space is what really takes this to another level.

Step out into your own private courtyard perfect for a morning coffee or a quiet glass of something at the end of the day and then beyond that… The garden. And when we say garden, we’re not talking about a bit of lawn and a fence panel.

This is proper space.

A large, sweeping rear garden that gives you room to breathe, entertain, kick a ball about, or just sit and do absolutely nothing (which is sometimes exactly what you need). And all of it backed by open field views stretching out towards Hammerwich, the kind of outlook that changes with the seasons and never really gets old.

Add in a driveway with space for up to four cars and a location tucked away in the hamlet of Edial, and you’ve got that perfect balance of countryside feel without being cut off from everything.

It’s not your standard home. It was never going to be.

And that’s exactly the point.


Location

Tucked away in the little hamlet of Edial, this is one of those spots that feels like you’ve got that countryside feel straight away. Open fields out towards Hammerwich that change with the seasons but you’re still only a couple of minutes from the heart of Burntwood when you need it. Swan Island is just down the road, so whether it’s a quick Co-op run, a coffee stop, or grabbing something for tea on the way home, everything is within easy reach.

For families, you’re well placed. Local options like Fulfen Primary School, Springhill Primary Academy, and Chase Terrace Academy are all within a short drive, while Erasmus Darwin Academy sits nearby for secondary, a popular choice locally. It’s the kind of setup where the school run is straightforward rather than a daily mission.

If getting out and about is your thing, you’re spoilt. Chasewater Country Park is right on your doorstep for walks, bike rides, water sports, or just blowing the cobwebs away on a Sunday morning. You’ve also got Cannock Chase a short drive away if you want to go a bit bigger with your outdoors.

Commuting-wise, it’s a solid spot. You’ve got easy access into Lichfield, Cannock, and Walsall, with the A5 and M6 Toll not too far away when you need to get further afield. Train stations at Lichfield and Hednesford give you options into Birmingham and beyond too.

It’s that balance a lot of people are looking for, semi-rural living where you can actually switch off, but with everything you need still close enough to keep life simple.
