Introduction & Exterior

Occupying a quiet position deep into The Birches development in the South West of Rugeley, this well-presented family home will prove extremely popular to those seeking a detached property that is ready to move into. The Birches is very sought after with good schools, road links and local amenities, including being a decent walk from Rugeley town centre and train station.

The house is set back from Canterbury Drive behind a gently sloped tarmac driveway that provides off road parking for two cars side-by-side. The driveway ends at the manual up-and-over door that opens to an integral garage. Beside the driveway on is a lovely front garden with attractive shrubs and a tree to enhance the initial appeal. To the left of the house past the garage is a securely gated side passage that leads to the rear garden.

Similar to the front garden but on a larger scale, the rear garden involves a lawn that is surrounded by lots of attractive plants that also help maintain privacy. There is a gravely path through the garden and slabbed patio laid near to the house. To the left of the garden is a large summer house that is also used for storage. A combination of brick wall and tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into a long hallway that has plenty of room for the removal of coats and shoes. There is wood effect flooring laid underfoot as the hallway continues around to the left leading to a guest WC with wash basin. Just before the guest WC is a secure door to enter the rear of the garage. As well as there being space for a single car, the garage is home to the gas central heating condensing boiler. The tank for this system is located in an airing cupboard off the landing. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the lounge at the front, kitchen at the rear, as well as the straight staircase leading up to the first floor.

The lounge is the first and largest of two generous, carpeted reception rooms. It features a lovely bay window that provides lots of natural light and a position for a feature chair. There is an electric fire with surround fitted to the right hand wall and lots of space available for a family sofa suite. A door to the rear of the room leads into the dining room. In here there is perfect space for a six-to-eight-seater dining table and a window to give a lovely view of the rear garden.

A door to the left of the dining room provides an additional entry into the kitchen. This is an impressive room that has a modern white hi-gloss suite fitted around the left side of the room, leaving an open area to the right of the room for a breakfast table. A door to the rear of the breakfast area opens to the garden patio. The kitchen suite features a range of integrated appliances that includes a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan, electric oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a washing machine.

First Floor

Moving up the carpeted staircase leads viewers to a lovely gallery landing with plenty of wall space for artwork and photography. Above the landing is a hatch to access a large and thickly insulated loft. Doors lead off to two double bedrooms, two single bedrooms, the family bathroom and the earlier-mentioned airing cupboard with hot water tank.

The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and is a great size that will delight viewers. It features two built in wardrobes to the right side of the room (when looking from the front) and a door to access the en suite shower room at the far left. What remains is an abundance of space for a king sized bed and other bedroom furniture. The en suite is a pleasant room that includes a shower cubicle with secluded recess for bottle storage, a toilet, pedestal wash basin, wall-mounted mirrored cabinet, and a radiator.

The remining bedrooms are all positioned across the rear of the house and comprise of a generous double bedroom at the far left and two good-sized single bedrooms to the centre and left, that also work well as home offices. The family bathroom is another pleasant suite that includes a long bathtub, chrome heated towel radiator, pedestal wash basin, toilet, and wood effect flooring.
