3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Upper St. John Street, Lichfield WS14

A simply exquisite 1930s period family home, nestled in the highly desirable south of Lichfield. This stunning three bedroom semi-detached property in Upper St. John Street exudes excellence from top to bottom and blends character features with modern excellence, boasting a truly magnificent kitchen/diner with quartz worksurfaces and impeccably appointed living room with its own log burner.

Sitting just over half a mile from the very centre of Lichfield and within walking distance to the highly regarded King Edwards VI secondary school, the property enjoys access to an extensive range of amenities, including Beacon Park, various bars/restaurants and Lichfield City train station, with a direct line to Birmingham.

The accommodation is set across two floors, each impeccably presented and each with their own list of highlights; the ground floor home to both the aforementioned contemporary kitchen/diner with French doors out to the garden, and the fabulous living room with bespoke fitted shutters, as well as there being a spacious utility room matching the kitchen, providing further access to the garden and integral access to the garage (currently set up as a home gym). Although it wouldn't appear to be possible, the first floor is just as breath-taking as the one below, home to all three bedrooms, two of which with original fireplaces, and the utterly beautiful main bathroom with freestanding bathtub and Porcelain tiles.

As if all of this weren't enough, a brick paved driveway provides ample off road parking and is complimented by an (unsurprisingly) pristine and extensive lawned rear garden that is home to a fantastic studio/summerhouse, offering an alternative place to work or relax.

Unrivalled presentation, a practical and sought after location and a marvellous plot; a viewing is essential to appreciate the incredible calibre on offer.
