Description

This outstanding property is tastefully appointed throughout and seamlessly blends character features with modern fittings. It is set on a small private development of barn conversions that originally date back to the 1700's in a rural location yet so conveniently situated for the nearby Cathedral of Lichfield, neighbouring village of Barton under Needwood with its John Taylor Academy, Alrewas and Burton on Trent.

Directions - From Lichfield proceed along the A38 past the junction for Alrewas and after approx. 1 mile take the Wychnor junction (signposted on the left). Follow the lane for just over a mile towards Wychnor Country Park and Wychnor Hall. The road bends to the right where The Grange development is situated on the left. What3words reference is advances.twirls.thousands that will take you straight to the property.

This particular barn enjoys a lovely position and is accessed via a front entrance door opening into the spacious reception hall which provides an impressive introduction to the property. A staircase rises to the first floor having a useful cupboard beneath. Leading off is a guest's cloakroom with WC and wash basin along with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a window to rear.

Across the hall is the stunning open plan light and spacious kitchen/dining/living room that is a fabulous place for families and entertaining. The kitchen area has a stylish range of units complemented by quality worktops and a matching island unit incorporating a breakfast bar, further units and storage space. Integrated appliances comprise a fridge freezer and dishwasher and a recess allows room for a range style cooker. The living/dining area has numerous windows and French doors flooding the room with natural light offering plenty of space for both dining furniture and soft seating. A feature fireplace provides a warming focal point and set above is provision for a wall mounted television.

The first floor galleried landing has revealed timbers, windows to two aspects and a large double storage cupboard. The outstanding master bedroom is substantial in it is proportions with a high vaulted ceiling, windows to the front and plenty of space for multiple wardrobes. It has the benefit of its own spacious en suite comprising a double shower cubicle, WC, wash basin, modern tiling to the walls and a chrome ladder radiator.

Also leading off the master bedroom is the unique feature of a staircase that leads down to a dressing room that would also make an ideal home office, having a useful understairs storage cupboard.

Bedrooms two and three are both generously sized rooms sharing the substantial family bathroom with a suite comprising bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin, WC, towel rail/radiator and part tiled walls.

To the rear is a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining beyond which is a shaped lawn surrounded by display borders packed with a variety of plants and shrubs. Side gated access leads to the driveway giving access to a single garage in a separate block.
