Elswick House

Fisherwick Road | Lichfield | Staffordshire | WS14 9LH

Elswick House

A truly outstanding family home extending to approximately 4,178 square feet of accommodation and sitting within stunning gardens of approximately one third of an acre at the heart of this popular Staffordshire village. Vast and sumptuous family accommodation blends perfectly with the grandeur that a house of this importance should possess creating a characterful yet practical space.

This property offers a very unique twist as the attached coach house offers the new owner the opportunity to either operate a business from the premises, create an independent annex, or simply extend the current living space.

Dating back to the early 18th Century with later additions in the early 19th Century this Grade II Listed property’s elegance and resplendent history is evident at every turn.

STEP INSIDE

An impressive reception hall with herringbone oak floor provides one with a glimpse of the charm of the two large reception rooms either side. The elegant drawing room is equally as impressive by both day and night, with a large picture window boasting French doors to enjoy the perfectly landscaped, south facing rear garden. The lovely oak flooring and open fire within the impressive inglenook fireplace, offer a wonderful cosy scene for evening entertainment.

The Victorian dining room is a room of resplendent elegance with a stunning marble fireplace and ornate ceiling rose.

A beautifully presented kitchen with integrated appliances really is at the heart of this wonderful home. A charming adjoining breakfast room and casual seating area enjoy an abundance of light and afford wonderful views of the garden.

The extra-large utility room / boot room beckons a host of possible opportunities and provides internal access to the Coach House.

First floor

A lovely stained-glass skylight on the first floor allows light to flood onto the wide staircase, leading to a large central landing, which provides access to a spacious principal double-aspect bedroom, with windows overlooking the gardens, and an ensuite shower room. The second largest bedroom, at the front of the property, is currently used as an office with a pretty open fireplace and has scope to create a second ensuite bathroom. There are two further attractive double bedrooms and a family bathroom and w/c on this floor.

Second floor

Stairs lead up to a landing on the second floor, containing a stylish vanity unit and w/c, with characterful double bedrooms five and six beyond.

The Coach House

The Coach House has operated as a successful Nursery School since 1986 with planning permission for 31 children daily. It has independent access, if required, two large reception rooms, a children’s cloakroom, a large scullery with sink, opening onto a small courtyard with access to rear gardens, and an integral single garage. Stairs lead to the first floor with two additional reception rooms and a kitchen area. There is the opportunity to create another access point to this property at roadside should you wish to do so; the agent will be happy to discuss this with you at viewing.

STEP OUTSIDE

Externally the property occupies a plot of approximately 1/3 acre. The partly walled garden is lovingly landscaped with lawns, terraces and herbaceous borders. At the front, a gated gravel driveway offers parking for four vehicles and a single garage. The neighbouring property has right of way across the end of the driveway to access a small garage, currently used as storage.

Viewing is essential to appreciate the abundant charm and flexibility of this home.
