5 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional Grade II Listed family home, at the heart of Alrewas's coveted conservation area. In the shadows of All Saints Church and the historic Trent & Mersey Canal. With the main house believed to date back to the early 19th Century and the adjoining barn, with medieval timber frame, more likely to have been constructed in the 17th Century for use as a milking parlour. This thoroughly impressive dwelling occupies possibly the most desirable position within one of Staffordshire's premier addresses with a wonderfully private south facing garden to the rear and a framed view of the church to the front.

The flexible family accommodation extends to nearly 4,000 sq.ft, arranged over three floors, seamlessly coupling the original historic features of the house and barn with some striking contemporary design twists. The ground floor offers an entrance hallway, cosy sitting room with the best view in the village, living and dining room, inner hallway with contemporary oak and glass staircase and a guest WC and cloakroom. Not forgetting the 40ft double aspect barn, now a jaw dropping open plan kitchen diner and family room, with the quintessential 'barn attributes' and a mezzanine home work space and utility.

The upper floors are equally impressive, with an opulent principal bedroom suite with dressing room, fitted wardrobes and a luxury en suite bathroom. The two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and the three second floor rooms share a shower room. All enjoying pleasant views to the front or rear aspects. Outside there is a beautifully landscaped south facing rear garden with shaped lawn, stylishly planted borders and patio seating areas, two private driveways, manicured side garden and a detached double garage.

Viewing is advised to fully appreciate the unique charm and nature of this property and, for the discerning buyer, to understand its enviable position within this highly desirable village.

WHY WE LOVE THIS HOUSE...

"I love the fact that this house has so many fabulous spaces for everyone - from parties in the kitchen to quiet afternoons reading overlooking the church, cosy winter evenings in front of the log burner to huge games of 'family' hide and seek. Special Celebrations (everyone's had one!) in the spacious gardens to being in the 'hub' of the house chatting with friends".
