Christchurch Lane, Lichfield, WS13

This stunning Grade 2 Listed early Victorian family home forms part of the original building which was known as Townfield House and which was built around 1840 with the later addition which forms Easter Hill being built circa 1868. This impressive dwelling lies discreetly off a private drive approached from Christchurch Lane behind the building known as The Old Vicarage. Forming the rear part of the original dwelling which was divided in 1947, this substantial family home enjoys an abundance of character with all the stature associated with property of its era. High eleven foot ceilings and tall sash windows and traditional column radiators enhance the inherent character redolent of properties of this era. In addition the generous rear garden which offers complete privacy, together with the interesting separate bothy, make this a truly unique and individual family home. The established residential area of Christchurch Lane is home to a popular primary school and lies less than a mile from Lichfield city centre amenities. Lichfield boasts a broad choice of shopping and leisure opportunities which together with its excellent road and rail network make this an ideal area for many buyers. Such a unique opportunity is unlikely to remain on the market long, and an early viewing would be strongly encouraged.
