Location
Wall is a sought-after Hamlet adjoining the village of Shenstone & the city of Lichfield. While the present Hamlet dates predominantly from the Civil War, it was originally a Roman settlement, Letocetum, and the ancient Roman Baths still remain and are owned and run by the National Trust under the guardianship of English Heritage. The nearby town of Sutton Coldfield provides an excellent choice of shops, restaurants, and schooling including Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls and Highclare School. Purchasers are advised to check with the council for up to date school catchment areas. One of the many advantages of the area is its location for fast communications to the M42, M6, M6 Toll, and Birmingham International/nec.
Description
Wall House is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian Country House dating back to 1761 which enjoys an outstanding rural location in the conservation area of Wall surrounded by greenbelt. The house stands in beautiful formal gardens with over 4 acres of grounds and commanding views over the countryside. The main house has an interesting history and is reported to have been built on the site of a sixteenth century residence and contains part of the structure and possibly some of the panelling from an earlier house. Of classically styled architecture, Wall House, incorporates a number of original features. The house is set back behind a walled frontage. A pillared entrance opens onto an in and out gravel driveway flanked by sweeping lawns and specimen trees. The gravel driveway extends to the rear of the house to the tradesmen’s entrance onto Market Lane. The house has been sympathetically enlarged and luxuriously appointed by the present owners including complete refurbishment
of the property and landscaping, construction of an east wing, gym/ sauna, and garden store. There is also planning permission for a single-storey structure of circa 1900 sq. Feet in the secret garden next to the walled garden and the present owners have commenced material building works. This new addition could be a leisure complex including swimming pool or separate annexe. It is the breathtaking views from every window which make this property so very special and unique.
Wall House successfully blends the many original features of a country period property with today’s modern refinements to create a spacious and elegantly proportioned family residence of character and style. Other notable modern amenities include a multimedia music system with Bower & Wilkins speakers which provide music around the house. The system can be adapted so that each person can listen to different music at the same time. All controls are housed in one central location and can be controlled by discrete panels in individual rooms. These are fitted flush and therefore blend sympathetically with the fabric of the property. The system is also wired to allow for music within the walled garden.
