PENTHOUSE APARTMENT FOR SALE IN LICHFIELD

A BESPOKE designed penthouse apartment in a considerately converted period property is now available in Lichfield.

Elan Homes has preserved the architectural heritage of Lorne House while giving the building a new lease of life as apartments designed to meet the demands of modern living. Five of the six apartments have now been sold and are occupied, with one of the two penthouse apartments the final home available.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “Opportunities to own a stunning apartment in a period property like Lorne House are rare, particularly without requiring lots of repairs and renovations. The penthouse offers the chance to live in a bespoke designed characterful residence that’s simply timeless. Because it’s a one-of-a-kind property, viewing is highly recommended so that buyers can truly appreciate the work that’s gone into honouring the history and integrity of the building while ensuring it exceeds the demands of modern living.”

Available from £390,000, the two-bedroom penthouse is situated on the second floor of Lorne House and is accessible via a central lobby and staircase or lift. There’s an audio-visual intercom entry system for security and peace of mind.

The penthouse offers 998 sq ft of living space, including combined dining and living room with a Juliet balcony. The dining room leads through to the well-equipped kitchen. One of the bedrooms benefits from an en-suite, meaning the other is effectively served by the main bathroom. Both the bathroom and en-suite have upgraded tiling.

Located off Rotten Row, it’s just a short walk from Lichfield city centre.

“There’s everything buyers need nearby including shops, bars, restaurants, theatres and a train station,” Tracey added.

“Plus, Birmingham Airport is around half an hour away by car, or in the opposite direction East Midlands Airport can be reached in 40 minutes, making moving to an apartment in Lichfield a great lock up and leave option for those who love to travel or spend part of the year abroad.”

Unusually for a city centre apartment, the penthouse benefits from two parking spaces and an electric vehicle charging point.

Recognising that the final home at Lorne House is likely to appeal to someone ready to downsize to somewhere more manageable, Elan is offering EasyMove. Under the scheme, the homebuilder will instruct an agent to market the customer’s home and even pay their fees.

Alternatively, Elan will consider offering a 5% deposit boost, which could help reduce monthly mortgage repayments.

The penthouse apartment at Lorne House is available to view by appointment only. For more information see www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/lorne-house-the-sidings.
