Description

Situated in the heart of Dosthill, Tamworth, this captivating Victorian manor, built circa 1870, sits proudly within approximately two acres of beautifully varied grounds. Unlisted and rich with period character, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial home with stunning views stretching across Dosthill Quarry and the surrounding countryside.

ACCOMODATION Approached through a gated entrance, the driveway winds through mature trees and landscaped gardens before arriving at the main residence. The manor itself is elegant and welcoming, showcasing its 19th-century origins through high ceilings, original tiled flooring, sash windows and ornate cornicing. The interior is generous and well-proportioned, with a sweeping staircase and grand hallway that set the tone for the rest of the home. Reception rooms are light-filled and stately, offering a graceful balance between formal entertaining and relaxed family living.

EXTERNAL Attached to the main house is an elongated orangery that overlooks the courtyard. While currently in need of significant restoration, this space offers wonderful potential to be transformed into a unique garden room, studio, or additional living space, with beautiful views to complement its character.

Beyond the courtyard stands a separate coach house, featuring a triple garage and versatile rooms above. Whether adapted for guest accommodation, a home office, or as a self-contained annex (subject to planning), this charming outbuilding enhances the overall functionality of the estate.

The grounds are thoughtfully laid out and full of life. A formal garden surrounds the main house with structured lawns and established planting, while a secluded walled garden offers further privacy and potential for a kitchen garden or peaceful retreat. The orchard, tucked away beyond the coach house, provides a taste of country living and seasonal charm. Adding to the rural aesthetic is a rustic wood shack, full of character and practical use for storage or hobbies.

This special home enjoys an exceptional setting, with breathtaking elevated views over the picturesque Dosthill Quarry and beyond. Despite its private and peaceful location, the property is within easy reach of Tamworth town centre, transport links, and well-regarded schools, offering both seclusion and convenience.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a handsome and historically rich residence with extensive grounds, characterful outbuildings, and endless potential.
