7 bed detached house for sale

Gaia Lane, Lichfield WS13

With a total of just under 9000sq ft of accommodation spread across an incredibly private one acres plot in the heart of beautiful Lichfield City, this absolute gem of a house truly needs to be viewed in order to appreciate the space, the grounds, the outbuildings, the continued potential, the beautiful finish and the expanse of stunning accommodation on offer.

Starcroft has enjoyed just four owners since its inception in 1901 and since that time has undergone substantial refurbishment to now boast an interior to compete with most country hotels and retreats.

A gated entrance provides access to an imposing driveway lined with greenery and creating the perfect entrance up to this exceptional home. Lets start outside, with two sets of double garages, two offices, one complete with kitchenette, and a useful snug/bedroom above.

Then making your way inside, a stunning panelled entrance hall complete with beautiful sweeping staircase sets the impressive tone that Starcroft delivers throughout and leading off are two grand reception rooms with all of the Victorian charm you would expect from a home of this period including beautiful bay windows, high ceilings and fireplaces. I then love the kitchen living dining room which is not only, super impressive in size but is contemporary whilst still reverting back to the charm of the house and the bi-folding doors create the perfect mix of bringing the outside, inside. There is plenty of room for dining along with a stylish island and fitted cupboards and leading off is a stunning family room complete with a bay window that immediately knows where your Christmas tree needs to be!

There are then practical spaces such as a large walk in pantry, laundry/utility, guest WC, garden WC and a lift which gives access to all three floors.

A spacious and elegant first floor landing then gives access to the stunning Principal suite complete with a large bedroom, beaut8iful fitted dressing room and a luxuriously spacious bathroom. There are then two further double rooms on this floor, one which actually has been also equipped to be a home cinema, if preferred, and what home wouldn't be complete without a secret room which gives access to a second dressing room. A stylish family bathroom completes this floor

Onto the second floor. Giving access to four bedrooms, two spacious bathroom and a kitchenette, I love how this could become a completely self contained area, and is ideal for guests or children. It is also worth noting that bedroom four has the most stunning full width bi-folding window which soaks up those views and is the ideal place to relax whilst listening to the Cathedral bells.

Outside, well, you could be anywhere! Complete with a beautiful garden room with cinema, dining, pool table and hot tub, the space can be used all year round and opening up the bifolding doors around the whole room feels like a truly unique, holiday at home experience. And did I forget to mention, the bar! There is over an acre of grounds, comprising of a beautiful croquet lawn, wild garden and landscaped gardens which any child could enjoy for days!

With Lichfield Cathedral on your doorstep, the location feels incredibly special and walking into the beautiful city for a coffee or a stroll around the historic streets, is just a moments walk away. Whilst enjoying such a central position, I cant explain just how private Starcroft and its grounds are and if you are looking for the convenience of a central location whilst enjoying a home of incredible stature, then Starcroft is definitely for you, and I cannot wait to show you around.
