Bishton House, Admaston

31st August 2010

Brandon and Clair Langley have found much to love about their three-storey Staffordshire home. There’s the privacy and tranquillity of Bishton House’s location, which is within The Old Rectory – a character conversion created by the acclaimed developer Fresh Space at Admaston in 2003.

“It is set in the attractive location of the Blithfield Hall Estate, which we enjoy because it is close to Blithfield Reservoir and provides us with access to the Bagot Hall Estate, offering marvellous country walks,” said Brandon.

“We have a split-level rear garden, having purchased some land at the end which enables us to take full advantage of the superb views.”

Being in the middle of glorious Staffordshire countryside isn’t the only reason for the property’s attraction. All three bedrooms are unusually located on the ground floor and have en suite facilities, which is ideal for families. Brandon and Clair have two daughters who can both enjoy the convenience of an en suite bedroom. There is also a fitted cloakroom.

The first floor, approached by stairs leading from the entrance hall, is where the lounge can be found – described by Brandon as a “stunning room.” The double height ceiling gives a sense of extreme spaciousness and three double glazed sash windows provide further opportunities to admire the surrounding scenery.

From the lounge rises a feature staircase to a mezzanine floor with a balcony and oak-effect laminate-style flooring. “We have used this as an office and children’s playroom,” said Brandon, who pointed out that it could also be a reception room. It overlooks both the lounge and the large Hatt breakfast kitchen, which has provided plenty of space for family meals in the mornings. There is a comprehensive range of units and integrated appliances, such as a Neff fridge and freezer, a Rangemaster stainless steel cooker and a dishwasher.

Via an archway is the convivial dining room and there is also a utility room, again having Hatt units with a sink, granite work surfaces and a Neff washing machine and tumble dryer.

Outside there is a rear paved patio leading to the mainly lawned garden, a detached double garage, a private two-car driveway and additional parking for up to 10 vehicles. The gated access gives a high degree of security.

Further advantages include Bishton House’s proximity to Lichfield, Stafford and the Potteries, plus easy access to Birmingham and Manchester via the M6 motorway.

Bishton House is now on the market at a price guide of £400,000 through the Lichfield office of the John German, which can be contacted on 01543 419121 for further details.
