4 bedroom detached house for sale

An inherently unique and consistently Grade II listed period country home, boasting substantial scale across three individually impressive floors and believed to be dating back to the 1700s, possibly even earlier. This one-of-a-kind property at Fradley Junction officially boasts four current large double bedrooms, but with an entire lower floor home to four additional spacious rooms, this spectacular residence offers potential for many more, subject to gaining any necessary permissions. 

Nestled within a fabulous corner plot (advised to be in the region of one acre), the property enjoys stunning views over the junction between the Coventry Canal and the Trent & Mersey Canal, with the widely-renowned The Swan pub just across the water, whilst to the rear are adjoining fields, allowing for a totally private existence whilst still keeping easy access to the centres of Lichfield, Alrewas and other surrounding areas via swift and picturesque journeys, with Lichfield home to a range of very highly regarded schools,  restaurants/bars, Beacon Park and both Lichfield train stations, offering direct links to London and Birmingham. 

Exposed features such as timber beams, wooden floorboards and brickwork create a true sense of history and depth, with a naturally bright and traditional style kitchen/diner acting as the hub of the home, housing a fantastic electric AGA oven with an abundance of natural light flooding in. 

Properties of such a calibre, in a setting as magical as this, can only ever be even remotely appreciated to the full extent when viewed in person; we must advise booking in at your earliest convenience.
