Old Library — Old Library

Old Library stands proudly in the heart of historic Lichfield - an iconic Grade II listed landmark reimagined into an exclusive collection of luxurious one- and two- bedroom apartments and duplexes by the award winning Gr8Space. Once a cherished school and public library, this remarkable building has been sensitively restored and transformed, blending heritage with contemporary elegance. Set on the grounds of a 13thcentury Friary, Old Library celebrates its architectural legacy with beautifully preserved period features, now thoughtfully paired with modern design and refined craftsmanship. The result is a unique place to call home - characterful, stylish, and rich in history. Inside, each residence welcomes you with bright, inviting living spaces bathed in natural light from impressive oversized windows. Sophisticated interior details elevate the everyday, including classic heritage column radiators, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and premium finishes throughout. High-quality touches such as Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, Karndean oak-style flooring, and elegant Porcelanosa tiles create a sense of timeless luxury. Lichfield is a charming cathedral city where rich history meets modern convenience. Its characterful streets, Georgian architecture, and cultural heritage - once home to Erasmus Darwin - create a warm and welcoming sense of place. Residents can enjoy a fantastic mix of independent cafés and boutique shops such as Young Ideas, Fortescues, and Victoria Lowe, as well as cultural highlights from Lichfield Cathedral, The Garrick Theatre, and the Lichfield Literature Festival. The city also boasts a thriving food scene, from relaxed dining at Mangia Mangia, Poms, and Wine House, to Michelin-starred excellence at Upstairs by Tom Shepherd. Beautiful green spaces including Beacon Park, Minster Pool, Stowe Pool, and Festival Gardens provide peaceful spots for walks, fresh air, and everyday moments of calm - making Lichfield a truly delightful place to call home. *Please note: Images, CGIs and virtually dressed visuals are for guidance only.
