Terry is now fully retired and Anne works for herself, so we can be flexible with dates. We have two adult children who sometimes visit us during exchanges. We also have close family nearby who can help out with any problems if necessary.

Read More...We greatly enjoyed being in Terry and Anne's charming house. It was an easy walk to downtown Lichfield, an equally-easy drive to the Lichfield Trent Valley train station (where one catches the train to London), and a lovely quiet neighbourhood with friendly neighbours all around. As we are charity-shop shoppers, we also enjoyed the plethora of such shops in Lichfield, not to mention the gorgeous cathedral and nearby park, as well as some very nice restaurants (avoid the Tudor House, however). The location was also convenient for trips to places such as Stourport-on-Severn, Stafford, and Burton-on-Trent (or anywhere else one might wish to go).

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Thank you for viewing our listing. We are open to exchange offers from anywhere. Particularly looking for a swap in New Zealand, Eastern Canada or South Africa.
Our house is an extended semi-detached (duplex) in a quiet neighbourhood, a ten minute walk from the historic town centre of Lichfield. There are 4 double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom, and a main family bathroom. We have recently added a downstairs toilet and shower. On the ground floor is a good sized dining kitchen with a range cooker (on all the time) providing a warm heart to the house! There is a cosy living room and a large conservatory with views of the well kept and mature rear garden. WiFi and cable TV available. We have friendly and helpful neighbours as we have lived here for 20 years.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
We live in the medieval cathedral city of Lichfield, Staffordshire, which is in the middle of England about 20 miles north of Birmingham. We have excellent rail links to Birmingham, Britain's second largest city with great shopping, restaurants, theatre including the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and museums. We have excellent, reasonably priced direct trains to London. You can be in London in less than 2 hours and back home to the peace and tranquillity of Lichfield, after a hectic day sightseeing or visiting a show in the West End of London.
Lichfield has plenty of coffee shops and restaurants, as well as the historic cathedral and birthplace museum of Dr Samuel Johnson, who compiled the first English dictionary and Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin.
The delightful towns of Stratford upon Avon and Warwick are a 45 minute drive away.
