IMPORTANT - OFF-ROAD PARKING TO REAR

Before we begin the description, it’s important to note that there is off-road parking to the rear of this property that is accessed via a right of way over the neighbouring property’s driveway, to the right-hand side. As depicted in the photos, there are large, secure double gates to separate the rear yard from the neighbouring property and the vendor informs me that access has to remain clear at all times according to the deeds.  

Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this impressive semi-detached home in Norton Canes will prove very popular to a range of viewers. As with many properties of this age, the house has been built close to the pavement with a short, walled yard in between. A gate the left allows personnel access to the rear yard.

At the far end of the yard is a superb garage. The garage is over twenty-five feet long and has been utilised as a workshop in the past, with an extension cable used to provide electric although the new owners may decide to install permanent . The entire yard has tall wooden fencing erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home directly into the lounge where attention is immediately drawn to a glorious log burner fireplace set within the chimney breast to the left wall. Plenty of natural light is brought in via the window to the front. It’s worth noting that all external windows and doors feature double-glazing.

Double doors from the lounge open through to an even larger reception room that we have named the dining room, as with it preceding the kitchen it provides the most obvious use. The dining room has a window to the side and rear and is easily large enough to hold a six-seater dining table. From here there is the staircase angling up to the first floor and a sliding door to the rear to access the kitchen.

The kitchen suite is fitted in a galley style with attractive hi-gloss facias and roll-top laminated work surfaces. There is an integrated gas oven and four-burner gas hob to the right side, with a composite one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer positioned to the left, in front of the window. A large space at the front of the room is available for an American style fridge-freezer.

An opening to the rear of the kitchen accesses the utility room where there the suite continues and has under counter spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A set of French doors open outside to the rear yard.

First Floor & Second Floor

At the top of the staircase is a door to access bedroom one and corridor landing leading across the house to the study area. Bedroom one is a large double bedroom having the same dimensions as the lounge below. The study area was originally the second bedroom before the loft was converted and is now a vast open area that the current owners use as a study space. From here there is a door to the rear for the modern bathroom and another angled staircase leading up to the second floor.

The family bathroom is impressive  and features a shower cubicle to the immediate left before stepping down to the main suite which comprises of a large corner bathtub, wash basin unit with cabinet, toilet, and a tall chrome heated towel rail. The whole bathroom is complemented by monotone tiling to the walls.

The second staircase leads directly to the entrance door to the second bedroom. This large L-shaped room has a skylight window to allow natural light and air into the room. There is low-level eaves storage at the front of the room and a removable panel at the rear to access the remaining loft space with light fitting.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Railway Street is less than a five-minute drive from the A5 south of Norton Canes and Junction T6 of the M6 Toll Road at Burntwood. These makes journeys to Birmingham, Cannock, Lichfield and Stafford very easy.

For trains, a twenty-minute drive (naturally longer by bus) to Lichfield provides access to two main train stations. These are Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with the latter offering fabulous commuting links due to its split-level platform for the West Coast Mainline and the Cross City Line. This means there are regular services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Redditch as well as national routes to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even the occasional Glasgow service. Train services to Birmingham are also available from Cannock via the Chase Line, which is closer to the home.

Bus users will be delighted that the Cannock to Lichfield service passes nearby along Burntwood Road.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Parents will be very happy that this home is within such short walking range of the catchment primary and secondary schools, Norton Canes High School (on nearby Burntwood Road) and the Primary Academy (on School Road). All the above information regarding schools has been researched using the Staffordshire school’s website. We do always recommend that buyers check with the local authority first, before confirming catchment.

Chasewater Country Park is a very short walk from the home and is a lovely place for recreational walks, wildlife spotting and exercise routes. At the junction with Burntwood Road and Brownhills Road, there is a selection of local businesses and a convenience store with car park, however this is well within a reasonable walk.
