Approach & Exterior

This wonderful semi-detached home in Lichfield will prove extremely popular to families seeking lots of ground floor space, large bedrooms, and a good-sized garden to entertain. The property is accessed via Martin Croft where it holds an elevated position, set back behind a concrete driveway and a pleasant front lawn.

At the top of the driveway is a secure gate that opens to a wide side passage that continues to the very private rear garden. The rear garden is mainly lawn that has a gravel with stepping stone pathway and a slabbed patio at the far end. This is plenty of space for child’s play, relaxation and for having family and friends over in the summer! The current owners have positioned a large shed behind the conservatory and there is an entrance to the rear of the house via the conservatory door.

Ground Floor

Once inside, guests are brought directly into a generous hallway that has plenty of room for removing coats and shoes. The staircase to the first floor is immediately to the right and is open underneath for storage, with there being a window to the side. Natural brightness is a theme throughout this house, and we are delighted to note that all windows and external doors feature double-glazing.  

A door to the rear of the hallway opens to the lounge which one of two large reception rooms that have been opened through to create a vast L-shaped space for the whole family to relax and dine. The front of the two room is the dining room and there is plenty of space for a large six-seater dining table as depicted in the photos. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot that each reception room has chimney breast with an attractive fireplace. The dining room has an open fire with beautiful iron surround whereas the lounge has an eye-catching log burner.

To the rear of the lounge is a door into the kitchen. The suite here has been recently replaced by the owners, upgraded to a gorgeous traditional-style kitchen with a ceramic sink and drainer and range oven. Integrated within the units are a fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. An opening to the right of the kitchen accesses the conservatory which acts as a third reception room due to its fantastic size and has a full view of the garden. In here is a breakfast bar where family can sit where there was originally a window (now removed) looking into the kitchen – a perfect place to have breakfast or coffee with friends.

First Floor & Loft Conversion

Moving upstairs, viewers will be delighted to discover an angled landing that has doors leading off to all three first floor bedrooms and a newly upgraded shower room suite.

The shower room has been decorated using en trend dark colours with a black-framed shower cubicle and fittings. Opposite the shower are a row of units that have excellent storage to keep all your bottles and tubs out of view as well as incorporating the wash basin and toilet. There is also a tall, heated towel rail fitted.

The bedrooms on the first floor comprises of two generous doubles and a single bedroom that is currently used as a home office. All bedrooms include a window and plenty of power sockets.

The remining door from the landing is to access the stairwell leading up to the stunning loft conversion that houses the master bedroom and accompanying en suite. The main features in here are the sheer size of the bedroom floor space and the gorgeous, exposed brickwork by the stairwell that has spotlights to light from below. The loft has a dormer extension to the rear meaning that the windows are vertical, with a skylight to the front.

The en suite includes an L-shaped bathtub with shower, screen and curtain fitted above. Again, there is a skylight for natural lighting and the remainder of the suite comprises of an oval wash basin atop a cabinet, toilet, and heated towel rail.

There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. Lichfield City Station, the second station on the Cross City Line, is a much closer walk at around 20-25 minutes.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Being one of the smallest cities in the UK, one of the endearing benefits of living in Lichfield is that the City Centre is within a 15-25 minute walk, 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.

The nearest shops to the home are located very close opposite the property. The nearest supermarket is a large Morrisons store near to Beacon Park. In fact, considering its size, Lichfield is home to many supermarkets including Waitrose, Co-operative, Tesco Extra, Aldi & Lidl.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is The Friary High School which is only 0.4 miles away. The catchment primary schools are Chadsmead and St Peter & St Paul Catholic Primary, both a very short walk away.
