The property is a striking Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date back around 400 years, set within the quiet hamlet of Curborough, just over two miles from Lichfield.
What immediately stands out is the setting. Positioned within approximately four acres, the house enjoys open countryside to the front and sides, creating a real sense of space, privacy and calm. To the rear, there is a more connected feel, offering that balance of rural living without feeling completely cut off, something many buyers are now actively looking for.
Behind its impressive frontage and sweeping driveway, this is very much a home designed for living. The accommodation has real depth, with five reception rooms that give flexibility depending on how you want to use the space, whether that is more formal entertaining or relaxed, day to day family life.
Character runs throughout. From the original Minton tiled entrance hall through to exposed beams, fireplaces and traditional flooring, each room has its own identity. The main lounge is a great example, light filled thanks to the bay window, yet still cosy with its beams, oak flooring and feature fireplace.
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, designed as a space to gather, with a natural flow into one of the main living areas. Alongside this, a formal dining room adds a more traditional entertaining space, while the current games room, centred around an inglenook fireplace, could easily become a standout office or family room.
There are also those details that give the home real character. The former cheese room is now used as a utility, there is a vaulted scullery that hints at the property’s history, and a cellar with two large rooms offering further potential.
Upstairs, the layout continues to offer flexibility. The first floor provides five well proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook across the surrounding grounds. The second floor is currently arranged as additional living space, including a gym and bedroom suite, but could easily be adapted depending on requirements.
Outside is where the lifestyle really comes into its own. The grounds have been thoughtfully arranged, combining formal gardens with more practical space. There are five paddocks, a newly built stable block, and a full range of outbuildings including a double garage, making it ideal for those with equestrian interests or simply wanting that extra space. For those with a more serious equestrian focus, there is also a full size Olympic standard dressage arena measuring 20m by 60m, a rare addition that really elevates the offering.
Despite the rural feel, you are still incredibly well connected. Lichfield is just a short drive away, with its range of independent shops, restaurants and transport links, including direct access via Lichfield Trent Valley. It is a setting that offers the best of both, countryside living where it matters, without sacrificing convenience.

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.
To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.
This upfront approach helps:
* Reduce delays once an offer is agreed
* Improve transparency for all parties
* Support a smoother and more reliable sales process
