Richmond House is a stunning 5 bedroom detached executive property situated in an idyllic rural location on the outskirts of the town of Burntwood, near Lichfield. This fantastically appointed home provides everything the modern family requires for living life to the full, including being surrounded by the rolling countryside in the heart of Staffordshire. The nearest city of Lichfield, a mere 3 miles away, offers a vibrant scene with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as enjoying excellent transport links for commuting to larger cities. A spacious bright hallway provides a warm welcome on entering the property. Within the hallway, the staircase leads to a stylish gallery landing, features a convenient downstairs guest WC, and also forms the central hub of the house leading to the other rooms. The formal lounge is the first room we encounter from the hallway. Decorated in neutral, earthy tones, the classically decorated room provides a beautiful space for entertaining or enjoying some peaceful time. Situated at the front of the house, and benefitting from lots of natural light streaming in, this room is dominated by a gorgeous, contemporary fireplace, making it perfect for enjoying a cosy evening in! Next is the family room – a haven for spending time together! Whether it’s watching a film as a family, eating together, or playing games, this room is built for laughter and fun! French doors lead straight outside onto the rear garden to enjoy some alfresco evenings when the weather is fine. The WOW factor of the property has to be the kitchen diner! Open, light, spacious and stylish, this modern kitchen has everything needed for a chef in the making! Featuring integrated appliances and sleek cupboard units and frontages, along with tiled flooring, make this room ideal for enjoying creating delicious dishes. A convenient separate utility area houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Alongside the kitchen, the open plan dining area features French doors leading outside and offers somewhere for a more grown-up occasion or special event. Easily able to house a 6-person dining table and chairs, the open plan nature of this area means that family members can cook, eat and spend time together. A downstairs study area makes the ideal home office, embracing the modern way of hybrid working and creating a professional space away from the main activities of the house. Another magnificent feature of the house is the stunning galleried landing. Climb up the sweeping staircase, and you are greeted by an expanse of galleried landing overlooking the downstairs hallway, off which all of the bedrooms lead. There are five bedrooms, four of which are double, and three of which feature stylish en suite facilities with showers. The master and second bedrooms also benefit from having walk-in wardrobes too. There is also a family bathroom, consisting of a modern suite and bath, as well as an airing cupboard for handy storage. But the splendour doesn’t stop there! Outside, the property is equally as grand with a large driveway with parking for several vehicles, and a detached double garage. To the rear, an abundance of landscaped gardens can be found, across three levels, with the top level forming an entertainment area with glass fencing, and a lawned area in the centre. The entire property enjoys splendid views of the rolling countryside and really embraces the modern country lifestyle! *** A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, will be payable by the Buyer to Barrows & Forrester Property Group Ltd prior to issuing the Memorandum of Sale and marking the property as Sold Subject to Contract.
