5 bed cottage for sale

Blithbury, Lichfield WS15

Set in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside, this Georgian farmhouse enjoys a peaceful and beautiful location in the small village of Blithbury. Surrounded by open fields and countryside views, it offers a real feeling of space and calm, the perfect place to escape busy everyday life.

Although the setting feels wonderfully rural, the city of Lichfield is only a 15-minute drive away, giving easy access to shops, restaurants and transport links - Rugeley Trent Valley train station is only 2.7 miles away and offers several daily direct trains to London Euston Nearby villages also offer friendly pubs, lovely walks and a great sense of community, making this location ideal for anyone looking to enjoy countryside living with everything still within easy reach.

As you arrive at the property, the first thing you notice is the slower pace of life, no traffic jams here, just fields and rolling countryside as far as the eye can see. To the left, gates lead to a newly built oak carport big enough for three cars, plus extra parking on freshly laid gravel, plenty of room for the cars, and maybe a small tractor if that’s your thing. There are two entrances: The formal front door, perfect for impressing visitors, and the family door, which opens into a cleverly designed boot room with plenty of storage for shoes, wellies, and coats, a must for anyone trying to keep the countryside mud outside where it belongs.

Step inside the family entrance and you immediately find the heart of the home; a jaw-dropping, open-plan kitchen and family space. The bifold doors make the outdoors feel like part of the room, flooding it with light and giving you an excuse to show off your BBQ skills. The kitchen island is huge, with a built-in wine fridge, induction hob, sink & Quooker tap, and enough storage to hide everything you’ll never use. Why have two ovens when you can have four? Oh, and a microwave and coffee machine are built in too, because why not. The adjoining lounge has underfloor heating, a log burner, and room for the largest TV you can find, perfect for cosy nights in or dodging the washing up.

Back through the hall, the formal lounge is equally impressive. Cosy up by the fireplace or simply admire the view, ideal for entertaining, or for just pretending you’re in a period drama with a Christmas tree in the corner. The third reception room is currently a home office but could be whatever you like - library, craft room, or secret escape from family chaos, and has dual-aspect windows plus a multi-fuel burner for extra charm. Completing the downstairs are a large utility room and separate WC, with plumbing for all your laundry needs and additional inbuilt storage.

Upstairs, the staircase from the family room leads to the owner’s sanctuary, a large bedroom with incredible views, a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully designed en-suite bathroom - basically a place where you can close the door and hide from the world. The second staircase, accessed from the formal lounge, leads to four more generous bedrooms. Two of these share a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub and inbuilt TV, perfect for soaking while binge-watching your favourite series. The top floor adds another two double bedrooms, ideal for guests, teenagers, or an elaborate indoor hide-and-seek game.

Outside, the garden is the real showstopper. Surrounded by greenery, flowers, and open views, BBQ at the ready, drinks in hand, you’ve got your own little slice of countryside heaven.

This home has been lovingly restored over the last 17 years by the current owners, who have spared no expense. Solar panels, two air source heat pumps, thermo-boarding on all external walls, they’ve done all they can to make this eco-friendly and future-proof. Every corner shows care and attention, and honestly, it really does need to be seen to be fully appreciated.
