The reception hall leads to a main inner hall area, with stairs rising to the first floor.
There is a charming sitting room of dual-aspect with a focal log burner and French-Style doors opening out onto the terrace with wonderful views directly over the lake.

There is also a separate formal dining room which has a character beamed ceiling and brick fireplace. Additionally, there is a useful separate study.

The breakfast kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of cream coloured high and low level units with wood-effect work surfaces over, and an inset sink and drainer. Appliances include an AEG hob with extractor canopy above, together with a split-level NEFF double oven. Just off here is a dining area, enjoying downlighting throughout. Inviting natural light, a window and door lead directly onto the sun terrace, which is adjacent to the lake and therefore affords beautiful views. Additionally, there is a utility room, having a range of units with a stainless-steel sink and drainer, as well as space and provision for domestic appliances.

Also on the ground floor, there are two bedrooms, both of which are served by en-suites and comprise a shower, WC, and wash basin.

To the first floor, there are three further bedrooms, with the principal also enjoying its own en-suite, comprising shower, WC, and wash basin. The fitted family bathroom has a bath with shower and screen above, low flush WC, pedestal wash basin and bidet.

Outside
There are lawned fore gardens with a driveway directly ahead of the property. To the rear there is a wide and deep sun terrace which directly adjoins the lake and enjoys fabulous views. To the side, there is a secluded garden with summer house and private kennels, as well as a double garage.

The lake extends to approximately 3.19 acres accessed via a lovely winding path which also leads to the 26 fishing pegs and the main woodland area which is of approximately 7.7 acres. There is extensive separate parking for the approximately fifty kennels, fishery and cattery. In addition, there is an office, food preparation area, isolation kennel, and cattery for ten cats. Further, there is also a small paddock and further copse, with the whole property extending to around 14 acres.

Overall, this location is simply stunning, being surrounded by beautiful countryside within Wychnor Park. The location whilst outstanding is also exceptionally convenient for modern day life and commuting. There are thriving villages of Alrewas to the south and Barton-Under-Needwood to the north, each having a range of shops and country dining pubs, in addition to schools.

The A38 gives excellent access to the M6 toll (which provides direct access into the national motorway network)as well as Burton-on-Trent and the A50, east midlands and beyond. To the south, lies the Cathedral city of Lichfield, having two railway stations, Trent Valley Station which has excellent links to London Euston, and the City Railway Station provides regular services to Birmingham and suburbs on the cross city line.
