THE PROPERTY

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: B  **  Council Tax Band: F 

Introduction

Built in 2022 as part of David Wilson Homes’ Anson Gardens development, this magnificent, detached family home is ideal for larger families looking for a long term move to a sizeable home that is ready to move into. Holding a corner plot on St Stephens Way, the property begins with long, double-width tarmac driveway that could easily hold six cars to the right of the house. Fitted to the wall of the house is an electric vehicle charging point which will be included as part of the sale. The driveway precedes a large detached double garage that has power & lighting, as well as a tall, pitched roof for extra storage.

To the left of the driveway is a pathway alongside the front lawn that leads to the composite front door. Closer to the garage, positioned behind the house, is a secure gate to access the rear garden. The garden forms a blank canvas for the new owners as it is still the original lawn laid right up to the brick wall boundary. There is gravel edging around the garage and a slabbed patio laid near to the French doors exiting from the lounge and kitchen.

Solar Panels and Infrared Heating

One of the many features of this home is the efficient heating system that has been installed to relieve costs whilst providing energy when needed. Viewers will immediately note the solar panels fitted onto the roof and, within the house, either one or two infrared heating panels affixed to the ceiling of most rooms. We are happy to discuss energy costs on viewings.  

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into a large and welcoming hallway that features a carpeted staircase to the left hand side. Due to the large open space ahead, immediately of note is the high quality, wood-effect luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. This is laid throughout the ground floor except for the carpeted formal dining room. To the right of the hallway are double doors opening to a vast reception, the family lounge, that features a bay window to the front and a set of French doors opening out to the rear garden.

Perhaps the most impressive room in the house is to the rear of the hallway. This is the stunning open plan kitchen with dining room. At the front of the kitchen is an attractive suite that has a range of integrated appliances. Included within these is a chest-height double oven, five-burner gas hob with extractor fan, dishwasher and a fridge freezer. The suite protrudes out to the centre of the room to provide a breakfast bar and the stainless steel one and a half bowl sink with drainer is also set within the front of this section.

At the rear of the room is a large dining area that has ample space for a family dining table in front of the French doors opening out to the garden, and a snug seating area positioned in front of the bay window to the side. Just in front of the French doors on the right side of the room is a door to the utility room. In here is a matching suite with a sink and drainer and clear spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An exit door to the patio is available and the condenser boiler is mounted to the wall, secluded within the units.

Beside the entrance to the kitchen from the hallway is a door opening to a generous reception room that is designated by the builders as a formal dining room. Those not requiring this could utilise it as a home office. Again, there is a bay window present and a second window to the rear left of the room ensures this is a lovely bright room.

The final door from the hallway is to a fabulous guest WC that includes a wash hand basin, toilet and bidet tap. A further door within the guest WC opens to a cupboard housing the solar panel control system.  

First Floor

The landing area forms a long carpeted corridor leading from the left to right of the first floor and having doors off to all bedrooms, the family bathroom and the airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. There is also a hatch to access the large loft space above.

All five bedrooms in this house are double sized and feature LVT flooring. Bedrooms one and two are positioned to the left of the house and are not only the largest bedrooms but both have access to their own en suite shower room. The en suite to bedroom one is slightly larger as it includes a double shower cubicle rather than a single, with both suites supported by a toilet with bidet tap, heated towel radiator and pedestal wash basin. A backlit mirror and shaving point is also available in the ensuite to bedroom one.

Bedrooms one, two, three and four all include a row of fitted wardrobes. Bedroom one’s wardrobes are fitted in a separate section as you enter the room, creating a dressing area, before the room opens to a large space for the main bedroom furniture.

The family bathroom has a fabulous suite comprising of a double shower cubicle, large bathtub with centrally positioned taps, toilet with bidet tap, pedestal wash basin, and a chrome heated towel radiator.

COMMUNAL CHARGE

There will be a communal charge for the upkeep of the development. As the latest phase of the development is still being built, this is yet to come into force. Details of this will be confirmed by your solicitor.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Anson Gardens is located to the west of Fradley Village and therefore has quick, easy routes leading to the A38 north via the village and there is an alternative route to the A38 via Fradley South and Fradley Park. The A38 leads north towards Burton upon Trent and Derby and south towards Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham. Just south of Lichfield there are also links to the A5 and M6 Toll. The M42 at Tamworth is around a 15-20 minute drive away. Furthermore, there are many country short cuts that provide alternative options in rush hour to get to Lichfield.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located a short five to ten-minute drive from 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.

The property is well positioned for bus users as the Lichfield to Burton upon Trent route passes along nearby Turnbull Road (from which Wyndham Wood Close begins) and provides a regular service in both directions.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Friary High School, Lichfield which is over three miles away however there is a free school bus service provided. The catchment primary school located in Fradley Village is St Stephens Primary and is a short walk from the home, by the side of St Stephens Church and Fradley Village Hall.  Parents will be delighted that both homes hold a Good (2) rating from their latest Ofsted assessments. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.

A short distance from the property is a row of shops and businesses that include a gym, convenience store, pharmacy, and takeaway outlets. There is also a coffee shop and all of these are well within walking distance along Common Lane. Again, close to the property, there is a lovely, enclosed play area for young children that is found along nearby Worthington Road.

For a greater shop, the city of Lichfield is less than a ten-minute drive away. Here there are plenty of famous and independent stores, along with a plethora of supermarkets including a large Waitrose in Darwin Park. 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. Along Eastern Avenue around the closest part of the city’s perimeter is Lichfield City Football Club and Lichfield Cricket & Hockey Club.
