An extremely rare opportunity to acquire the freehold of a superbly positioned period property of architectural note, together with surrounding gardens and paddock land, extending in all to 2.09 acres (0.847 ha) or thereabouts.

The property is in need of renovation and improvement, but has the benefit of Planning Permission for alteration and enlargement to form a comfortable home with 4 double bedrooms (2 en-suite), extending to a gross internal floor area on completion of almost 1,900sq ft.

The elevated rural setting of the existing south-west facing property provides a most attractive backdrop to the house upon approach, with mature Lime and Horse Chestnut trees framing the building against the rising ground to the rear. It also provides the dwelling with distant views across mainly open countryside toward Lichfield and Cannock Chase beyond.

The dwelling is situated well away from public highways and other buildings, ensuring a calm and peaceful environment at all times; a considerable rarity these days.

We are favoured with instructions to offer this property for sale by Private Treaty in accordance with the details contained in these particulars. It is not possible to make a casual viewing of this property for two reasons: access through private farmland needs to be arranged and the property is not safe to view internally. Therefore, if viewing is required, please contact the sole agents so that suitable arrangements can be made.

Please contact Sansom Clarke on 01530 263696 or using the details on our enquiries page.

Planning permission for alteration and renovation together with a single-storey rear extension was granted on 29/08/2007, which is reproduced in these details for information. The drawings upon which the aplication was based have been copied and reduced for inclusion in these particulars, but please note that in consequence, they are not to the stated scale.

There are a number of conditions to the planning permission, which will need to be satisfied before work can commence and in addition a Building Regulations Application will need to be made.

At the time of making the application, the property was not Listed. The Planning Authority has sought to have the property Listed by English Heritage under a "spot listing application", which was made some months ago, but as yet English Heritage have not determined the outcome.

No services are connected to the property but provision has been made for water, electricity, telephone, etc. to be connected at the purchaser's expense, from Piddocks Road at Stanton via a service strip running alongside the access road to the property (see Site Plan). The Site Plan also indicates the extent of the freehold title to be sold, together with the extent of the Right-of-Way to be granted over the track to Piddocks Road. This Right-of-Way will be at all times and for all purposes, with or without vehicles, in connection with the use and enjoyment of The Coach house as a private dwelling.

The owners of The Coach House will be granted the right to improve the surface of the track from Piddocks Road between Points A and B on the Site Plan to a standard of finish to suit personal taste, subject to a prior agreement of the vendor (not to be unreasonably witheld), at their expense, but the vendor, in using the track to gain access to retained agricultural land in the vicinity, will not be under any obligation to keep the surface in any better standard of condition than that required for normal agricultural purposes.

All external boundaries to the freehold of The Coach House, will remain the property of the vendor, who will also be responsible for future maintenance and upkeep of these boundaries to a minimum stock-proof standard.

The purchaser shall be granted the right to construct a suitable entrance gate and pillars at Point A on the Site Plan and may install electrically operated gates if required. The vendor will install a catle grid at Point A prior to completion of the sale, so that if the gates fail to close, livestock will not be able to escape.
