WHY A MOVE TO AN APARTMENT IN LICHFIELD COULD HOLD THE KEY TO HAPPINESS

A MOVE to an apartment close to Lichfield city centre could give buyers plenty to smile about.

The Staffordshire city was recently named as the second happiest place to live in the West Midlands and in the top 15 nationwide following a survey by Rightmove.

Location has been a driving factor for those who’ve moved to Lorne House and The Sidings, neighbouring Elan Homes developments, where the final properties are now on sale.

There are three apartments available, including two penthouses, plus a three-bedroom semi-detached home. They’re all build complete and ready to move into.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “It was no surprise to us that Lichfield ranks among the happiest places to live. We’re finding that increasingly people are prioritising their wellbeing when looking for a new home and considering the bigger picture – location, ease of maintenance and living, energy efficiency are just some of the factors to consider.  Our apartments and final home in Lichfield tick all of those boxes and more.

“They are perfectly placed, with everything buyers need within a short walk including shops, bars, restaurants, theatres and train station. Move here and you could find you no longer need a car or at least use it less often, choosing to walk to the shops for essentials. Unusually for city centre apartments, they benefit from two parking spaces per apartment and an electric car charging point, which could help with making the switch to an EV.”

At Lorne House, Elan has converted a period property into bespoke designed apartments, half of which have now been sold and are occupied.

The available apartments are on the first and second floors and can be accessed via a central lobby and staircase or lift. There’s an audio-visual intercom entry system for security and peace of mind.

Elan has worked with the shape of the building, while maximising the potential of the space, with each apartment featuring a combined kitchen, dining and living room.

The main bedroom in every apartment has an en-suite to complement the main bathroom.

Priced from £375,000, the apartments are ready to move into.

“Our apartments in Lichfield are ideal for people who want a characterful property but without the upkeep and maintenance that often brings. We’ve carried out a full renovation of the building, installing kitchens with integrated appliances, stylish bathroom suites and energy efficient heating systems. We’ve also laid flooring and included blinds and light fittings,” Tracey added.

“Move here and you could enjoy a new lease of life with the ability to make the most of being close to the city centre, catching up with friends over a coffee, enjoying leisurely strolls or catching a show at the theatre instead of spending time and money on repairs and maintenance.”

There’s also the chance to own a new build three-bedroom semi-detached Garrick style property from £380,000.

It’s named after the nearby Garrick Theatre and includes a lounge at the front, with an open kitchen and dining room at the rear with French doors opening onto the garden.  There’s also a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one with en-suite, plus the family bathroom.
