1 The Old Rectory, Church Lane, Hammerwich, WS7 0JS Parker Hall

2 A truly individual detached former Rectory set within the rural village of Hammerwich, boasting a wealth of character features, flexible and spacious interiors and grounds including formal lawns, outbuildings, woodland and a shared pond. Occupying an elevated position enjoying Staffordshire countryside views, this impressive country home was built circa 1865 for the brother of General Gordon of Khartoum and has since been sympathetically restored by the current vendors, featuring a wealth of stained glass windows, parquet flooring, cast iron radiators and reclaimed marble fireplaces. The interior accommodation comprises two flexible and spacious reception rooms, dining kitchen with sun room, pantry, utility, bedroom seven/reception room and bathroom to the ground floor, with six double bedrooms set to the first floor serviced by two bathrooms. The second floor is laid to three rooms, formerly the servants quarters, in need of certain modernisation but ideal for conversion into additional living space. Outside are outbuildings and two double garages, both with second floors, and ample parking is provided beyond the gated entrance. The generous plot is laid to formal lawns, a secluded courtyard with views over the neighbouring Church, a large area of mature woodland and a wildlife pond of which The Old Rectory owns part of. The property lies on the outskirts of the popular village of Hammerwich enjoying views over the church to one side and over countryside to the other. The village itself is home to a post office, village bowling green, cricket club and community centre with further amenities available in the Cathedral City of Lichfield at just three miles distance where two rail stations provide direct links to Birmingham, London (in 80 minutes) and beyond. The surrounding area offers many rural walks and is ideal for those looking to enjoy the outdoors from their own doorstep. Hammerwich benefits from convenient access to commuter routes including the A38, A5 and M6 Toll, with Birmingham International Airport at 20 miles distance. A range of superb independent school are within easy reach including St Bedes Preparatory, Lichfield Cathedral School, Denstone College and Repton School.
