Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this wonderfully presented home in the cathedral city of Lichfield will prove very popular to families seeking plenty of reception space, a garage, and a peaceful location in great reach of amenities and transport links.

The house is set back from Wissage Lane behind a tarmac driveway with decorative block-paved edging. This easily holds three cars side-by-side. The driveway precedes the garage located on the left side of the house. Double doors open outwards to access the long garage that includes plenty of space to store a car. It also houses the gas central heating combi-boiler.

The property includes a private rear garden that is the ideal spot for the family to relax and a great area to entertain guests. Two sets of French doors lead from the house onto a wide decking area that can hold a range of outdoor furniture. From here the garden continues to a lawn with a slate path beside that leads to the far end where further decking is placed with a pergola erected above. Plenty of attractive shrubbery has been planted to the borders with wooden fencing providing a tall boundary. A gate at the far end opens to a passageway to provide an easy route for removing garden waste.

Ground Floor

From the front, viewers enter the home via a composite secure door that has decorative glass panes. The first space they enter is a generous porch that has two double-glazed windows and plenty of space to remove and store coats and shoes. It’s worth noting that all exterior windows and doors are double-glazed.

Next is a large hallway that runs right to left, opening out at the end into the breakfast area of the kitchen. The staircase is at the front of the hallway and is opened out underneath to provide open storage or a lovely spot to relax with a book. Immediately ahead of the entrance to the hallway is a door into the lounge.

The house is extended to the rear of the ground floor to include a dining room that is opened through from the existing lounge to create a vast double reception room. At the front of the lounge is an open gas fireplace set underneath the chimney flue. This vast space is ample for a sofa suite, entertainment unit and eight-seater dining table. At the rear of the dining room is the first set of French doors opening out to the decking.

The kitchen is fitted in a wide galley-style with a modern Ikea suite. The suite includes an electric oven and grill with a four-burner gas hob set into the stainless steel surface. Clear designated paces are available for a dishwasher and microwave. As explained above, there is an open area at the front of the kitchen to place a breakfast table ahead of a bay window at the front, and space for a fridge freezer. At the rear of the room is an opening to a laundry area where there is plumbing for a washing machine and further space for a tumble dryer. Here is where the second set of French doors open out to the decking. Finally for the ground floor, there is a door beside the breakfast area to access the garage.

First Floor

Guests make their way up the carpeted staircase to arrive at an open landing where there are doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a linen cupboard. The bedrooms comprise of two large doubles that each have a built in closet. The third bedroom is a generous single bedroom. Each bedroom has plenty of power sockets.

The family bathroom has a P-shaped bathtub with shower and curved screen fitted over. The rest of the suite features a pedestal wash basin, a tall chrome heated towel radiator and a toilet positioned within a recess behind the door. The suite is complemented by attractive full tiling to the walls.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Wissage Lane is a quiet street near to the Trent Valley area of Lichfield where there is a major roundabout junction. This includes the A5127, Eastern Avenue & Cappers Lane. The A5127 leads to Lichfield City Centre in the west and the A38 north in the east, which leads directly to Burton on Trent and Derby. Taking Cappers Lane will provide access to the A38 south (for Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield) as well as rural routes and the A51 to Tamworth. Eastern Avenue is a bypass which navigates around half the circumference of Lichfield, and therefore provides good access to the A51 north to Rugeley & Stafford.

There is a regular half-hourly bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located on Eastern Avenue. The bus station provides links to all of the above destinations as well as places beyond Lichfield to the west including Walsall, Brownhills, Burntwood & Cannock.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located within walking distance of Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

With Lichfield being one of the smallest cities in the UK, the majority of homes are within walking distance to the centre, where there are plenty of famous and independent stores. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements.

Just before reaching the town centre, there are two large supermarkets a short drive to the west of the property, with another supermarket located north on Eastern Avenue. At the tip of Hobs Road, there is a row of shops including a convenience store. The recent Cathedral View development in nearby Streethay includes a Coffee Shop / Bar, convenience store and takeaway outlets. 

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Netherstowe High School which is half a mile from this home. There are two catchment primary schools within a half mile which are Scotch Orchard, which is very close by, and St. Chads Primary. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
