When You Want To Live The Idyllic Country Life…Without Being Stuck Out In The Sticks. Your family can enjoy a peaceful way of life in this superb former farmhouse set in substantial private grounds - but you're still only 5 minutes from Tesco!

This charming 17th century farmhouse sits in 0.3 acres of private grounds between Shenstone and Stonnall. It’s set back from Lynn Lane and surrounded by open fields, so it could be perfect if you’re looking for a tranquil setting to bring up your family.

But as it’s only a short drive to Shenstone, Stonnall and the M6 you don’t have to give up on any of the best aspects of modern life.

The heart of any farmhouse is the kitchen and this charming traditional kitchen certainly won’t disappoint.

There’s no shortage of reception rooms but everyone will surely head straight to the kitchen. It's the perfect place to get together - whether it’s grabbing a slice of toast in the morning or catching up at the end of a busy day.

It ticks all the charming farmhouse kitchen boxes, with two Belfast sinks, an Aga and the original red flag stone floor.

The lounge feels both spacious yet cosy. It’s full of traditional features like the brick-built fireplace, exposed beams and oak flooring.

There’s a further family room and a formal dining room which does give you plenty of options. You could turn the family room into a games room or den for a teenager and if formal dining wasn’t your thing the dining room would make a great home office.

Upstairs has three double bedrooms, all with wooden flooring and exposed beams.

The family bathroom is a gorgeous combination of old and new, with a walk in-shower and a free-standing roll top bath tub. 

The substantial grounds are almost as impressive as inside. There’s parking for several cars on the gated gravel drive. There’s a detached double garage with a room currently used as a home gym above. 

The beautifully landscaped gardens that surround the property offer something for everyone. There’s a choice of large lawns for playing games with the kids and a paved seating area which will be perfect for summer entertaining.

The nearby villages of Shenstone and Stonnall will have everything you need on a day-to-day basis. There's plenty of local shops, pubs and restaurants along with a handy Tesco Express.

You can also hop on a train at Shenstone, with fast and frequent trains to both Lichfield and Birmingham New Street.  The average journey time to Birmingham is less than half an hour.

If you don’t want to head into Birmingham, Lichfield has a greater selection of big name shops and restaurants than the local villages.

Being a family friendly property it’s good to know that the property has a good choice of nearby schools. St Peter's Church of England Primary in Stonnall is closest - it’s only a couple of minutes drive away.

Older kids will have a little further to travel to Shire Oak Academy in Walsall Wood. Alternatively there’s a good selection of both state and independent schools in Lichfield and Walsall. 

This immaculate period property has been sympathetically improved and extended over the years. It's been tastefully transformed into a welcoming family home that now combines the best of old and new.

I’m expecting it to get plenty of interest - make sure you don’t miss out - call to arrange a private viewing.
