Bought by a local business man in the early 19th Century, the house was completely renovated in Regency style in a time when great wealth was being generated in the City through its coaching trade. Its elegant portico, decorative stucco façade, pedimented first floor windows and decorative cornicing and plaster works were all carried out at this time. The house become a private residence of great standing within the city and belonged to various wealthy merchants. In 1902 it became the home to local colliery owner, a Mr Peake, whose family owned it for over fifty years and for a short time it became known as Peake House.In 1958 the house became St Johns Preparatory School until relocated late in the early 2000's after which time it remained empty. Bought in 2003 by the current owners, they set about renovating and restoring the property to create a family home offering bespoke guest accommodation in the Coach House which they have been running as a successful boutique bed and breakfast business with 5* AA rated guest accommodation.Grade II* listing: St John's Preparatory School and Attached Garden Wall 28, Lichfield LICHFIELD SK1109SE ST JOHN STREET 1094-1/8/160 (South West side) 05/02/52 No.28 St John's Preparatory School and attached garden wall GV II* House, now school.
