With an undeniable presence, and standing proudly in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, this elegant period family farmhouse home offers something truly unique. With character at every turn, the scope within this glorious country residence is tantalisingly attractive. To have the opportunity to take a historic house on its next journey and to build upon its proud legacy is particularly rare, and will be found appealing to many sophisticated buyers. The task is a tempting one - to take what is already a well-presented home, grade II* listed, and invest in it to create a unified home of local and regional importance, whilst remaining firm to the heritage and comforts of its country home status. The location is stunning, just some 8 miles from the cathedral city of Lichfield which offers both culture and easy access via the West Coast Main Line taking 1 hour 16 minutes to London Euston. Communications are excellent being 10 miles from the M6 Toll road linking into the main national motorway network. Birmingham International Airport is some 27 miles distant. The city centre at Birmingham is 30 miles away with excellent rail links to both Lichfield and Rugeley. Mavesyn Ridware is a particularly beautiful village containing six Listed buildings. Of these, two are Grade I, being the Gatehouse at The Old Hall, the other the church. The Old Hall is Grade II* and sits close to St Nicholas' church founded in about 1140 and largely built in 1782 with the Tower being earlier dating from the fifteenth century.
