THE PROPERTY

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax: B

Approach & Exterior

Occupying a corner plot in a quiet area of Hednesford that is in walking range of the town centre, this family home has lots of future potential. The front of the property faces New Street, as the pathway leading to the front door leads from the pavement.

Adjacent to the property is George Street, from which the driveway and garage are accessed to the rear of the house. The driveway is both slabbed and block-paved, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The single garage has a manual up-and-over door to access with a side window and personnel door facing / accessing the rear garden.

The garden of the property is lovely and private, featuring a slabbed patio, plush lawn, and shrubbery to the borders. A secure gate connects the garden with the driveway. The front garden wraps around to the side of the house, some distance from the George Street pavement and this may offer extension potential, subject to planning permission of course.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home via the main front door into a long hallway where there is an immediate recess to the right for storing coats and shoes, with a shallow cupboard housing the meters. Beyond this initial area, the hallway stretches to where the staircase rises to the first floor, leaving an open area below that is ideal for a side board. The hallway is naturally well lit by a window to the right side and it’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double glazed.

The first of two doors from the hallway is for the lounge. This reception room is the largest room in the house and comfortably fits a three piece sofa suite to be positioned around the gas fireplace and chimney breast. Dining is located in the kitchen, which is a wide room positioned at the rear of the first floor. The suite is fitted to the right and front of the room, including an electric four-ring hob and oven, with retractable overhead extractor fan. There are plenty of units for storage with workspace on top. A door to the rear of the kitchen opens inwards to walk out to the rear garden patio, and there is a handy storage cupboard next to the entrance from the hallway.

First Floor

Viewers make their way up the staircase to a bright landing owing to a large window at the side of the house. From here there are doors leading off to all three bedrooms – comprising of two doubles and a single room – and the family bathroom. All three bedrooms feature a window and power sockets. The largest of the three is positioned at the front left of the first floor.

The family bathroom features a pleasant white suite that comprises of bathtub with shower and curtain fitted above, a toilet, pedestal wash basin, and a chrome heated towel radiator. Beside the door as you enter the bathroom is a cupboard over the stairwell that houses the gas central heating combi boiler.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Parents will be delighted to find three schools within a quarter mile of this home. These are Kingsmead Academy (Secondary), St. Peter’s CofE Primary and St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary. As of April 2024, all three schools hold a Good (2) rating with Ofsted. Although we have researched this information, it is highly recommended that parents check with the local authority to confirm catchment.

As mentioned above, the property is within walking range of the centre of Hednesford which includes a great shopping precinct with many famous and independent stores. There is also a large Tesco supermarket. For a greater shop, Cannock Town Centre and the Orbital Retail Park are both within a ten-minute drive. The popular McArthur Glen Designer Retail Outlet is off the A460, near to the Orbital.
