An exceptional four bedroom detached family home on one of Whittington's finest addresses, once the estate of Whittington Old Hall. Situated at the heart of this popular Staffordshire village and falling within the King Edward's catchment area, Fairview house was completed in 2017 by South Mill Country Homes, renowned for its local dominance of the luxury home market. Providing a modern alternative to the homes that have occupied Cloister Walk since the original estate was constructed.
Finished to a standard rarely seen outside London, the flawlessly stylish accommodation extends to over 2,500 square feet offering a flexible, family friendly, layout with an attractive balance of contemporary open plan spaces and more cosy reception rooms.
The ground floor accommodation provides a grand atrium style entrance hallway with a striking return staircase rising to an opulent gallery landing, guest cloakroom, charming living room with log burner, sitting room / study, utility and 'that kitchen'. Extending to 40ft across the entire width of the house, it is the perfect sociable family hub, with formal and informal dining, comfortable seating, a 'fully loaded' Symphony kitchen, with a wealth of appliances, and three sets of bi-fold doors giving access to the rear garden.
The first floor boasts an elegant gallery landing, four bedrooms all with plantation shutters, and three with fitted wardrobes, two ensuite shower rooms and a luxury family bathroom. All finished with Imperial suites. Externally the attractive gated approach, flanked by neat laurel hedges, leads to an extensive block paved private driveway with manicured lawns on either side and a detached double garage. To the rear is a lawned enclosed garden with patio seating areas.
Viewing really is essential to appreciate the level of finish and exacting standard of this delightful home and its enormously desirable position within the village.

AND FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS...
The Old Hall Estate dates back to the 16th Century and was bought by Samuel Seckham in 1889. He continued to live at Beacon Place in Lichfield - the grounds of which eventually became Beacon Park - whilst he extended and refurbished the Whittington property on a grand scale. Part of his work included the building of a new driveway through the grounds. Cloister Lodge and its gates represent the 1890 entrance to the Hall; the driveway took a circuitous route through the spacious grounds, seemingly to maximise its apparent length.
The Hall was then divided in to three smaller dwellings in 1959 with part of the grounds around that 'circuitous drive' eventually becoming Cloister Walk. Cloister Lodge still boasts the most impressive pillar and sandstone chapiter gated entrance and now sits adjacent to Cloister Walk itself.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
