About this property

  • Early 17th Century Grade II Listed detached period cottage proudly featured in the Country Living magazine and filmed in by itv.

  • With two double and one single bedrooms an exceptionally preserved example of period architecture blending historic character with modern living.

  • Steeped in history and nestled in a secluded lane surrounded by Staffordshire countryside and situated near to the banks of the River Mease.

  • Original characteristic features throughout including timber beams and a stunning large inglenook fireplace.

  • Beautifully designed and maintained front cottage garden with topiary and Tudor knot garden.

  • Courtyard rear garden with access to adjacent two car driveway.

  • A countryside setting with riverside walks and a village community lifestyle.

  • Located in Edingale a tranquil village and civil parish that lies along the River Mease around seven miles north of the historic City of Lichfield and Tamworth.

Merchants House is an historical gem. It is tucked away in a tranquil lane in the picturesque village of Edingale, South East Staffordshire.

An early 17th Century Grade II Listed detached cottage abundant with original period features including timber beams, a large inglenook fireplace and restored fully functional working Victorian range.

The opinion of an expert is that the beams may date from the late 16th Century which could make this the oldest building in the lane and could have been occupied by the merchant Thomas Scofield as identified by the 1794 Enclosure map and from whom the lane takes its name.

Located in a countryside setting with riverside walks, within the National Forest the Arboretum nearby; a thriving village community; and excellent local schools and amenities, Merchant’s House is a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of history in an idyllic location.
