Property description & features

A wonderful opportunity to acquire one of Lichfield's landmark residences, occupying a prestigious position directly adjacent to Stowe Pool. This iconic property was built using the finest materials by the Master Builder Of Lichfield, Alderman Deakin, for his own family in 1909 and the grandeur of the property is immediately apparent as you gaze up to the elevated entrance porch, adorned with original stained glass windows, befitting such an imposing Edwardian home. Now a gated community of three individual homes with Oakleigh House having a formal lawned garden. The beautifully presented accommodation, of the house itself, extends to 2,803 square feet and offers flexible family accommodation over three floors, sympathetically renovated in recent years, preserving the extraordinary amount of original features. The ground floor consists of an entrance hallway with Minton tiled floor, drawing room, large studio/gym, open plan kitchen diner and family room with recently refitted DeVol kitchen, spacious conservatory, large utility/boot room, guest cloakroom and a ground floor shower.

The upper floors are equally impressive with five spacious bedrooms, some affording views of Lichfield Cathedral and Stowe Pool and four bathrooms. The opulent principal bedroom boasting a large walk through dressing room and luxury bathroom. Further treats lie waiting outside with the rare benefit, for such a central home, of a detached double garage , rear courtyard garden and driveway and an attractive, private walled garden complete with original Edwardian summer house.

Viewing is essential to appreciate the unique nature of this impressive 'piece of local history', its levels of grandeur and its central location.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 3, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
