Offering an exclusive opportunity to acquire a property of genuine heritage, The Old Cells has been thoughtfully enhanced to create a unique family home of both style and substance.

Ideally located, the property enjoys close proximity to a wide range of local amenities and is just a short distance from Tamworth town centre.

Expansive playing fields nearby further enhance the lifestyle appeal, ideal for families, dog walkers and those who enjoy open green space.

The home is approached via a secure gated entrance leading to a courtyard-style driveway, offering privacy, off-road parking and useful outdoor storage, before arriving at the main entrance.

A stylish electric fireplace creates a focal point, while double doors open into a spacious conservatory overlooking the secluded rear garden, enhancing the sense of indoor-outdoor living.

One of the original police cells has been thoughtfully retained and repurposed as a charming library and walkway, preserving the property’s fascinating history while integrating it into everyday living. The main hallway provides access to a substantial lounge, where a grand exposed brick replace forms an impressive centrepiece. Characterful original cell windows offer a distinctive architectural feature, and double doors lead directly out to the garden.

Further accommodation on the ground floor includes an additional former cell, now serving as a versatile room ideal as a study, guest bedroom or additional reception space, along with a downstairs WC and a practical storage room.

To the first floor, Velux windows flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. A generous landing leads to the principal suite, complete with built-in wardrobes, a private ensuite, and a balcony overlooking the garden - a rare and luxurious feature. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom complete the upper level.

Externally, the rear garden offers a private sanctuary. A substantial decked terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and currently accommodates a hot tub. Steps lead down to a beautifully maintained lawn framed by mature planting, enhancing privacy and tranquillity. A pebbled seating area occupies one corner, while a summer house set upon a patio offers an additional entertaining or relaxation space.
