Description

Set amidst glorious Staffordshire countryside, yet just moments from the historic cathedral city of Lichfield, this delightful barn conversion presents a rare opportunity to embrace an idyllic rural lifestyle without compromising on convenience. Beautifully characterful and full of warmth, this charming barn conversion combines timeless period features with versatile living spaces, all surrounded by delightful countryside and its own paddock with stabling, making it an exceptional home for those seeking peace, privacy and an equestrian lifestyle.

Lichfield offers an outstanding selection of independent boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, together with direct rail services to London from Lichfield Trent Valley. The sought-after village of Shenstone is just a short drive away, providing welcoming pubs, artisan shops, a butcher, hairdresser and highly regarded schooling, making this an enviable location for families and commuters alike.

Come Inside:
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads through to a beautifully appointed country kitchen, where traditional shaker-style cabinetry sits effortlessly alongside an Aga range cooker, tiled flooring and a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. A breakfast area creates the perfect setting for relaxed mornings, while a door opens directly onto the private courtyard garden, seamlessly connecting the home with its outdoor spaces. The principal living accommodation is an impressive open-plan space that perfectly captures the character of the barn. Bathed in natural light from multiple aspects, the room enjoys views across the gardens. Exposed brickwork, original beams, warm wooden flooring and an inviting open fireplace combine to create an atmosphere that is both elegant and wonderfully welcoming, equally suited to intimate evenings or entertaining family and friends. A versatile ground floor bedroom with its own contemporary shower room provides ideal accommodation for guests, multi-generational living or those seeking single-level convenience. The first floor continues the property's story of charm and authenticity, where three beautifully presented bedrooms showcase an abundance of original character with exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings. The family bathroom has been thoughtfully finished with full-height tiling and comprises a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC.

Come Outside:
The outside space is every bit as captivating as its interior. A delightful courtyard garden offers a sheltered and private space for alfresco dining, while lawns wrap around the front and side of the property, creating a wonderful setting from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Beyond lies ample private parking and access to the superb paddock, thoughtfully equipped with refurbished stables, storage, automatic water troughs and newly installed post-and-rail fencing with electric fencing around the entire perimeter. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast, seeking space for animals, or simply dreaming of a quintessential country lifestyle, the grounds offer exceptional flexibility. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is also considerable scope to extend and further enhance the property, allowing future owners to create a home tailored to their own aspirations.
