Cliff Cottage, Tatenhill

A rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character, space and individuality in one of Staffordshire’s most desirable village settings.

Dating back to circa 1840, Cliff Cottage is a remarkable detached Victorian residence that combines elegant period architecture with beautifully restored interiors, versatile ancillary accommodation and exceptional gardens. Set within a private and peaceful position in the sought-after village of Tatenhill, this distinctive family home has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a wonderful blend of timeless character and contemporary living, complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens and tranquil woodland views.

The property provides generous family accommodation with the added versatility of a detached coach house incorporating a stylish self-contained annexe.

Double gates open onto a generous block-paved driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.

Stepping inside, the welcoming reception hall leads to an elegant dual-aspect lounge where a feature wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining, while the beautifully refitted breakfast kitchen combines classic styling with modern practicality. Completing the ground floor are a separate utility room and guest cloakroom.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all thoughtfully presented, together with a luxurious family bathroom and separate contemporary shower room. A generous walk-in store presents further potential to create an ensuite dressing room, subject to individual requirements.

The detached coach house is a truly outstanding addition to the property. Accessed independently, the beautifully converted first-floor annexe boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, an open-plan living space with fitted kitchenette, and a stylish shower room. Whether used for visiting family, multi-generational living, a peaceful workspace or holiday accommodation, it offers exceptional flexibility. The double garage on the ground floor also benefits from a useful store room, gardener's WC, and adjoining workshop offering the potential to convert into two storey ancillary accommodation.

The wrap-around gardens have been lovingly landscaped to create a series of tranquil outdoor spaces, with sweeping lawns, mature planting and established borders providing year-round colour and privacy. An elevated veranda offers the perfect place for al fresco dining or simply relaxing while enjoying the picturesque woodland backdrop, creating an idyllic setting for both entertaining and everyday living.

Tatenhill village is home to a traditional public house, historic church and village hall, while the nearby centres of Barton under Needwood and Burton upon Trent provide an excellent range of shopping, leisure and everyday amenities. Excellent road links via the A38 offer convenient access to Derby, Lichfield, Birmingham and the wider Midlands, with rail services providing connections to London. The area is also highly regarded for its excellent schooling, including All Saints Primary School, John Taylor High School and prestigious independent schools such as Repton School, Denstone College and Lichfield Cathedral School.
