Property Summary
STUNNING GATED VICTORIAN CONVERSION *** 32FT OPEN – PLAN DESIGNER KITCHEN/DINER *** LANDSCAPED SUNNY GARDENS WITH HOT TUB *** LARGE HOME OFFICE *** NO UPWARD CHAIN
Wilkins Estate Agents are delighted to present “The Old Cells” - a truly unique detached Victorian conversion, discreetly positioned within an exclusive gated setting and carefully transformed into an impressive character home beside the former Wilnecote police station. Sympathetically converted in 2009, the property beautifully combines historic character and period charm with stylish contemporary living.
Offering far greater versatility than a conventional three-bedroom home, The Old Cells provides an exceptional lifestyle opportunity ideal for modern family living, entertaining and remote working. For commuters, Tamworth railway station is only a short drive away, providing direct services to London Euston in approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes. Featuring exceptional reception spaces, a recently fitted spectacular designer kitchen/diner, beautifully landscaped private gardens with fitted hot tub and a substantial insulated home office, the property offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely available locally.
The property also offers future potential, with scope (subject to the necessary planning permissions) to create additional accommodation above the existing kitchen/dining area, further enhancing its already versatile layout.
From the moment you drive through the gated entrance and down the private driveway, the property delivers an immediate sense of privacy, character and exclusivity. Hidden away within a peaceful cul-de-sac position, The Old Cells offers an atmosphere more reminiscent of a secluded countryside retreat than a typical suburban residence.
Stepping through the entrance porch into the welcoming reception hall, the home immediately impresses with its space and architectural character, whilst the striking galleried landing creates a dramatic first impression.
At the heart of the home lies the spectacular recently fitted 32ft kitchen/diner - an exceptional open-plan entertaining space flooded with natural light from two striking roof lanterns. Finished to an exceptional standard, the kitchen features granite worktops, a premium AEG five-burner gas hob and twin integrated ovens, combining high-end finishes with everyday practicality. A separate utility room provides additional storage, work surfaces and plumbing for laundry appliances.
Leading directly from the kitchen is the impressive double-glazed garden room, a superb additional reception space enjoying beautiful views across the landscaped rear gardens. With satellite cabling already installed to the TV position, this room is ideal for relaxing, entertaining or family living throughout the year.
The main lounge is undoubtedly one of the home's most atmospheric spaces, occupying part of the original Victorian building and now transformed into a warm and inviting living room centred around a large log-burning fire. Adjacent to the lounge is a cosy snug, together with an additional highly versatile lifestyle room, ideal for use as a fourth bedroom, games room, music room, studio or further office space, whilst still retaining links to the property’s fascinating history.
The ground floor further benefits from a generous guest cloakroom, additional storage areas and practical independent side access.
To the first floor, the impressive galleried landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each enhanced by exposed solid wooden beams that add warmth and character throughout. The generous principal bedroom further benefits from a striking high ceiling, five fitted double wardrobes and en-suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms comfortably accommodate king-size beds, whilst the third is currently arranged as a single bedroom. The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a WC, wash basin, separate shower and feature corner bath.
Externally, the property continues to impress with extensive gated parking for multiple vehicles together with a covered parking area and additional front storage space.
The beautifully landscaped rear gardens provide a wonderful degree of privacy and seasonal colour, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat ideal for both entertaining and relaxation. A substantial decking area extends directly from the garden room and incorporates the fitted hot tub included within the sale — ideal for entertaining or relaxing in privacy. The garden enjoys sunlight from early morning through into the evening, creating a superb outdoor space for dining, entertaining and relaxing. Further outdoor features include a summer house, additional garden storage and a Flymo robotic lawnmower included within the sale.
A particularly valuable addition is the substantial insulated office/studio building, currently arranged as a professional home-working space with two workstations and seating area, while comfortably capable of accommodating a larger setup if required. This exceptionally flexible space is ideal for remote working, business use, creative projects, a workshop, gym or additional family room.
The Old Cells occupies an enviable location close to highly regarded schools, nearby parks and countryside walks, whilst remaining exceptionally convenient for commuters. Wilnecote railway station is within walking distance, Tamworth station is only a short drive away and excellent transport links include the M42 (Junction 10), M6, M1 and A5. Ventura Retail Park, supermarkets and a wide range of local amenities are also close at hand.
Additional modern conveniences include Hive smart heating, electric blinds to the kitchen roof lanterns, a recently serviced modern boiler and hot water tank, a newly replaced flat roof with approximately nine years of guarantee remaining, and a fully compliant electrical installation condition report. Combined with the excellent decorative presentation throughout, the property is ready to enjoy from day one.
Combining fascinating history, contemporary living, exceptional entertaining space and remarkable versatility, The Old Cells represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Tamworth's most distinctive and memorable homes.
