Commercial | 17.11.2025

A distinctive new development of flexible business units in Staffordshire is being brought to market by commercial property consultancy Burley Browne. 

The developer is currently finalising the shell build of the American-style barn conversions located in the picturesque grounds of the former Swinfen Hall Hotel, near Lichfield, now Oscars Estate.

The Barns at Oscars Estate will cater to a range of occupiers with potential uses including offices, education, health and wellness. Units start from 1,409 sq ft and will be completed to a CAT A specification with ample parking.

Eleanor Robinson-Perkins, who heads office agency at Burley Browne, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for businesses seeking modern, flexible accommodation in Lichfield. The combination of high-quality units and estate facilities in a stunning location makes The Barns at Oscars Estate an attractive proposition for companies looking to relocate or expand. 

“With units designed to suit a range of operational needs, we anticipate strong interest from potential occupiers across multiple sectors. The barns are located on a distinguished Grade II* listed Georgian manor estate set within expansive private grounds in the heart of Staffordshire. Surrounded by open green space and mature parkland, the development perfectly blends modern amenities with natural beauty.”

Burley Browne and Hexagon Commercial have been instructed to market the development and can support potential tenants with a full range of commercial property services. The landlord may consider splitting the units to meet specific tenant requirements.

The estate provides more than just workspace. Tenants will enjoy access to extensive on-site amenities, including a five-mile walking and cycling route, 9-hole pitch and putt, buggy track, five-a-side football pitch, tennis court, deer park, and fishing lake - all set within the expansive private grounds.

Strategically located off the London Road (A38), the development offers excellent connectivity to the M6 Toll, A5, M42, and M6, with Lichfield City Railway Station just 2.9 miles away, providing direct links to Birmingham, London, and the wider Midlands region.
