Lichfield, England

Description Occupying a commanding position within the historic Staffordshire village of Colton, Colton House is a remarkable early eighteenth-century residence whose elegant Georgian architecture, extraordinary interiors and fascinating provenance combine to create a home of genuine distinction.Dating from circa 1730, the house is Grade II listed, a designation reserved for particularly important buildings of more than special interest. Its handsome principal elevation remains wonderfully composed, with mellow red brick, sash windows and a classical central entrance approached by stone steps. There are a wealth of important surviving architectural detail internally, including eighteenth-century fireplaces, oak panelling, decorative plasterwork and the magnificent open-well staircase at the heart of the house."
