Wall House perfectly blends the many original features of a country period property with today's modern refinements to create a spacious and elegantly proportioned family home of elegant style. The property grants the owner the ability to run a business from home with a dedicated, well-equipped home office. With a paddock within the grounds, the ability to keep horses and of course, relax in the extensive beautifully landscaped and well-maintained gardens. There are an array of leisure facilities with gymnasium, sauna and tennis court. There is a second floor which offers a standalone three-bedroom annexe apartment for flexible living accommodation. 

The property has been sympathetically extended and luxuriously finished by the current owners with extensive refurbishment including the construction of a new east wing which forms a new office suite. There is planning permission granted and material works have commenced on the addition of a single storey building, located in the secret garden for use as a leisure complex which would include an indoor swimming pool, alternatively a standalone self-contained annexe depending on the needs of the new owners. 

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 and the system is also wired to allow for music within the walled garden. This is accessible in every room of the house. Of classically styled architecture, Wall House dates back to 1761 and incorporates a number of original features. The house is set back behind a walled frontage. A pillared entrance opens to an in and out gravel driveway flanked by sweeping lawns and specimen trees. The driveway extends to the rear of the house to the tradesmen's entrance and onto Market Lane. The original oak and leaded glass panel doors open to the impressive reception hallway. Part panelled, this luxurious space gives a nod to its history with the characterful quarry-tiled floor whilst the combination of superb decor provides a contemporary, playful feel that is both grand and elegant. The gorgeous rococo cast iron radiators are a feature in their own right. A lovely archway carries the hall through to the rear of the house and frames the part glazed panel door, providing views of the splendid formal gardens. Doors radiate off to the principal reception rooms and a turning spindle staircase rises to the first-floor landing area.

There is a wonderful walk in boot room for shoes and coats and one would imagine would have housed the internal bell system for summoning serving staff. The formal dining room with oak floor enjoys a dual aspect with views to the front of the house. A carved period fireplace with marble inset provides a fabulous focal point and the walls shimmer with silk wall covering and matching soft furnishings.

The drawing room with classical decor is a bright and inviting space. A large, walk in bay window with seating provides a fabulous view of the walled gardens and a superb spot for reading and relaxation. A Victorian carved oak fireplace with Delft tiles is an eye-catching feature. This room transforms to provide a luxurious, cinematic experience, perfect for enjoying movie night with the family. There are eight flush fitted B&W speakers in both walls and ceiling along with a 2.4m (8ft.) drop down, motorized screen. On the opposite side of the reception hallway is the family room. Agreat space for unwinding in front of the TV with fitted wall and ceiling speakers for the full cinematic experience. A large Inglenook fireplace with brick hearth and oak bressummer beam is a reminder of this incredible home's heritage.

The side hallway from the main reception hall features a tumbled marble floor and part panelled walls. There are views to the front and side overlooking the tennis court. A cloakroom features the original cast-iron fireplace. The cellar can also be accessed from here, and offers a range of storage, tiled settles, and wine bins.

The superb dual aspect provides ample natural light with arched windows and two sets of arched French doors which open out to the walled garden terrace.

The home office suite is a substantial space with stone quoin surrounds to both entrance door and internal partition, wide oak floorboards, exposed beams and French doors overlooking the walled garden, as well as recessed B&W ceiling speakers.

The walled garden terrace features a stone terrace including a chess board in the centre, stone balustrading, gravelled pathways, ‘Capability Brown’ planted borders, and specimen trees, as well as stone borders and a central fountain feature. At the rear of the walled garden is the garden store, a single-storey outbuilding built in recent years to house gardeners and tradesmen equipment. The property further features a grass tennis court area and additional lawns surrounded by fruit trees. An ornate gate from the walled garden within the west wall provides access into the secret garden. Within this area there is planning permission for a single-storey structure of circa 1,900 sq. feet. This new addition could be a leisure complex including indoor swimming pool or annexe. The present owners have commenced material building works. The paddock can be accessed from either the walled garden/secret garden or via road at Market Lane. 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 Royal 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.
