Cross In Hand Lane, Lichfield, WS13

This hidden gem of a property was built in 1925 in the Arts and Crafts tradition by the well renowned builders Robert Bridgeman and Sons as a wedding gift for his daughter. Full of character and charm throughout the property has been very cleverly and sensitively extended and improved to create a wonderful mix of a modern family home with lots of character twists. The very generous accommodation has tremendous versatility, either as a large family home, or with the potential to provide multi generational living. Standing well within its generous gardens the property is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all that Lichfield has to offer. The extensive city centre amenities coupled with the superb road and rail links make the area a magnet for home buyers from across the Midlands. Opportunities to purchase properties of this era with such character and charm are comparatively scarce, and an early viewing of this very fine example would be very strongly recommended.
