Park View is a spacious, characterful detached home set on just under a quarter-acre plot in the peaceful village of Lapley. The house combines original-style features—sash windows, cast-iron fireplaces, high ceilings and a roll-top bath—with a comprehensive refurbishment carried out by the current owners in 2006–2008. Gardens are mature and extensively planted, with a large summer house offering flexible space and strong acoustic qualities.
The ground floor layout lends itself to multigenerational use or a self-contained annexe: a study and shower room with a separate rear entrance could form an independent ground-floor suite. Living space includes two front reception rooms, a dining kitchen with an Esse cooker and log-burning stove, cellar storage, and useful utility/laundry accommodation off the garage. First-floor rooms are all doubles and enjoy far-reaching countryside views.
Practical features include a double garage with electric door, EV point (negotiable), thermal store, fast broadband availability and excellent mobile signal outdoors. The property is chain free, freehold, and sits within the Lapley Conservation Area close to road links (A5/M6/M6 Toll) while retaining a tranquil village setting.
Notable downsides: heating is oil-fired (individual supply) and the oil boiler/radiator system may carry higher running costs than mains gas. Double glazing is in place but installed before 2002. Council Tax is band F (expensive). While renovated, buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance typical of character homes and garden upkeep on a large plot.
