THE PROPERTY

Tenure: FREEHOLD

EPC Rating: Awaited  **  Council Tax Band: D

Available with No Upward Chain, this large, semi-detached home in the highly sought after village of Shenstone, just south of Lichfield, will prove very popular to families seeking a long term move to a village with brilliant amenities and superb road & train links.   

Approach, Garage and Exterior

The property holds an elevated position, set back from Schoolfields Road behind a driveway for at least three cars, with a pleasant lawn and accompanying shrubs and tree to the front left, ahead of a short retaining wall. The driveway culminates at a single garage with double opening doors that can house a further car. The central heating combi-boiler is mounted to the rear garage wall.

To the right of the house is a gated passage way to runs past the side of the house where there are doors to enter the garage and vestibule into the kitchen. At the end of the passage way is the rear garden, which begins with a full-width slabbed patio, ideal for an outdoor furniture set. From here the garden rises up the lawn which covers most of the remaining space. The lawn is bordered by mature plants and shrubs with there also being a seating pergola, garden shed, greenhouse and a chicken pen. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Entering through the secure front door, viewers arrive inside a large porch with side window that has plenty of space to remove and store coats and shoes. A second secure door leads into a great-sized hallway that features wood-effect flooring and room to the right for a side board. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the lounge and kitchen, the staircase leading up to the first floor and a shallow storage cupboard.

The lounge is the first and larger of two fabulous reception rooms. Positioned at the front of the house, the lounge has a lovely wide bowed window allowing in an abundance of natural light. There is also a chimney breast that has a feature gas fireplace fitted to the front. A set of double bi-folding doors at the rear of the lounge open through to the dining room. In here there is plenty of space for an eight-seater dining table if required. A set of sliding doors open out to the patio and a door to the right of the room opens inward to access the kitchen.

The kitchen has a fitted suite to the left, rear and right walls that has plenty of unit storage and lots of work surface space. There is a large stainless steel sink with draining board at either side positioned in front of the elevated bay window. Spaces between the units are present for a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and fridge to be positioned, with plumbing where necessary. At the front of the room are three doors to access the hallway, pantry and the vestibule leading to the outdoor side passage. The vestibule also has low level storage underneath the staircase.

First & Second Floors

As viewers move up the staircase they pass a side window which ensures the stairwell and landing are lovely and bright. From the landing there are doors off to three double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate WC with wash basin, even though there is a toilet within the family bathroom. This does open up future potential for an en suite to the neighbouring bedroom, should the new owners desire. Furthermore, a second staircase leads from the landing up to the second floor.

As mentioned above, all three bedrooms are double in size, with all having either fitted or built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom features a bathtub with shower fitted over, a toilet, wash basin and chrome heated towel rai.

The second floor is dedicated to the loft conversion which features the master bedroom and accompanying en suite. The en suite features a shower cubicle, wash basin and toilet. The master bedroom includes access to the front and rear eaves maximising the storage space available.

Finally, we must mention the lovely view of St John’s Church to the rear. This is visible from all floors but especially impressive from the master bedroom, as depicted in the photographs.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Schoolfields Road is near to Birmingham Road, also known as the A5127, that leads between Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield. It also leads to Birmingham, however the best route there is probably by joining the A38 at either the nearby Weeford Island or by cutting through to Bassetts Pole from Watford Gap. Travelling toward Lichfield will lead towards Wall Island which has a junction with the A5 which allows for commuting to Tamworth & Cannock.

The motorway network is also a short drive as the M6 Toll Road is accessible off the A5127 near Shenstone for journeys north, and Weeford Island for journeys south. Those not wishing to pay a toll charge can take the A446 from Bassetts Pole to the M42 which is perfect for reaching Birmingham International Airport, Solihull & Coventry (M6).

The nearest train station is Shenstone Railway Station which lies on the Cross City Line and runs services to Birmingham New Street, University, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Redditch. However, the new owner would probably find Blake Street station to the south – also on the Cross City Line – more useful as it stops more frequently.

For buses, the X3 bus service between Lichfield and Birmingham (passing through Sutton Coldfield) stops close to this home and passes through Shenstone village.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Parents will be delighted that this property lies in catchment of the highly regarded King Edward VI School in Lichfield, currently holding a Good (2) rating from Ofsted. The local primary school is further good news as Greysbrooke Primary holds an Outstanding (1) Ofsted rating. Although we have made every effort to research this information, parents are advised to check with the local authority before confirming catchment. Data correct as of March 2024.

Travelling towards Shenstone village, there is a Tesco Express convenience store and Fish & Chip Shop/Chinese Takeaway house. The closest restaurant, the Lodge Indian Restaurant, is a decent walk towards Shenstone Woodend in the south.

Shenstone is a classic English village, with public houses and local businesses including a butchers, florist and newsagents in the centre of the village. There is also a playing field with tennis courts in the village.
