A MOVE to a new apartment in Lichfield could be wrapped up in time for Christmas, thanks to Elan Homes.

A period property, known as Lorne House, has been given a new lease of life as eight apartments designed for modern living.

The transformation of the building is now complete and some of the apartments are now occupied. The final three are now on sale, including two penthouses with vaulted ceilings and exposed steel, on the second floor.

Those who buy now could be just weeks away from moving – even if they have a property to sell.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball explained: “The majority if not all the enquiries we’ve received about our apartments in Lichfield have been from downsizers. Many of them have an existing property and in some cases they’re not yet on the market when they first contact us. Now we’re down to the final three apartments, there’s an increasing sense of urgency, but the good news is we have a range of ways we can help buyers.

“Those who have a house to sell could use our EasyMove scheme whereby we’ll arrange to value their home, instruct a trusted estate agent to market it and even paying their fees. Alternatively, we could offer a deposit contribution to help lower the cost of moving home. There’s the potential to have the purchase of your new apartment wrapped up in as little as four weeks, meaning those who act now could move in before Christmas.”

Apartments at Lorne House have an audio-visual intercom entry system for security and peace of mind. The upper floors are accessed via a central lobby and staircase or lift.

The bespoke designed apartments all have two bedrooms and are designed to maximise the potential of the space, with each featuring a combined kitchen, dining and living room.

The main bedroom in every apartment has an en-suite to complement the main bathroom. For those who only need the second bedroom for friends and family staying over, they could create a dual function space in the spare bedroom, also using it as a home gym, luxurious dressing room or hobby room.

Current prices for the apartments range from £375,000 to £430,000.

The apartments are ideally placed, just a short walk from the stores, coffee shops, restaurants and entertainment venues such as The Garrick Theatre in Lichfield city centre.

Those commuting into the major Midlands hub of Birmingham, will still find they have an easy journey, with train journey times from Lorne House to Birmingham New Street, taking around 45 minutes, including walking to the station.

The apartments at Lorne House are available to view by appointment only. For more information, including the latest availability and pricing, see https://www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/lorne-house-the-sidings.
