Netherstowe House, a former boutique hotel in Lichfield, has been brought to market for an undisclosed price.
The 10-bedroom property is split by the north and south side, and is available for purchase as a whole, or in two lots.
Set within one-acre, Netherstowe House is a short distance from the cathedral city of Lichfield, which is a popular tourist destination and known for its museums, historic architecture and woodland areas.
The Georgian property was originally an historic mill and more recently, was converted into a boutique hotel, which received several awards including Taste of Staffordshire’s Restaurant of the Year, and recognition from the AA and Michelin Guide.
The property has been owned by the Heathcote family for the last 45 years.
They said: “We have enjoyed creating memories at Netherstowe House during our ownership. It was originally our wonderful family home before we launched a multi-million-pound premium leathergoods company from the property, utilising it as our offices and HQ.
“Having subsequently been fortunate enough to frequent luxury hotels around the world, we then established the property as an experience-led hotel and restaurant with a focus on creating meaningful memories for local patrons whilst serving a high demand for corporate travellers to the area.”
They added: “We welcomed many famous faces over the years including the likes of Sir Roger Moore, Idris Elba and Kate Beckinsale. However, the time has now come for us to move this delightful property on to new custodians who can utilise the building in their own way and hopefully, they will get as much enjoyment out of it as we have over the past 45 years.”
Sam Roberts, hotel broker at Christie and Co, who is handling the sale, said: “Netherstowe House is a magnificent property within striking distance of Lichfield city centre. The opportunities and versatility that the building could offer, subject to the relevant consents, is endless.
“From a sizable private residence to a guesthouse/B&B, or back to its former glory as a hotel, or perhaps offices for a business, it’s a unique offering. Viewing is highly advised due to the rarity of this type of opportunity and its location.”
