Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this extended family home in Heath Hayes will impress those seeking a long term move to a home that has many internal features and a generous rear garden. The property is set back from a private drive of four homes off Ansty Drive, a peaceful circular avenue with no through traffic.

Originally built with a garage to the right hand side, the owners took advantage of the remarkable plot to build a larger single garage to the left of the house converting the existing garage to a utility room and ground floor shower room. A second tarmac driveway was added to support the new garage which, along with an area of block paving, provides comfortable off-road parking for three cars.

As mentioned above, the rear garden is a great size and is landscaped with a slabbed patio laid around the conservatory at ground level and steps rising up to the lawn. Attractive shrubs and a wooden shed are positioned around the border of the lawn with tall wooden fencing and brick wall to the boundaries to maintain privacy. A door to the rear of the garage opens to the rear garden, allowing for easy passage of garden waste without passing through the house.

Ground Floor

The ground floor comprises of two reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, shower room and conservatory. It begins with a lovely porch that has plenty of room for guests to remove coats and shoes before making their way through a second front door into the hallway. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the lounge, kitchen and immediately ahead to a handy understairs storage cupboard.

The lounge is to the left and stretches the full length of the original build. With dining designated in the next room, the lounge is a superb size to be dedicated to family relaxation. A chimney breast is present on the left hand wall with an electric fireplace mounted to the front. At the rear of the room is a wide set of glass sliding doors that allow access to the conservatory and allow plenty of natural light in. Further natural light is brought in via a bowed window at the front of the room and it’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed.

With a dining room and lounge present, the conservatory can serve as a third reception room for the family to relax with a panoramic view of the rear garden. A set of French doors open to the right to exit to the garden patio.

The kitchen features a modern suite with a range of integrated appliances including a fridge, dishwasher, low-level electric oven, four-burner gas hob and an overhead extractor fan. An opening at the rear of the room leads through to the dining room, which is also accessed from a door at the rear-right of the lounge. The dining room is another terrific reception room where an eight-seater dining table can easily be positioned. A set of French doors flanked by tall windows open out to the rear garden. The straight staircase to the first floor is located to the left of the dining room.

The first floor continues further to the right of the lounge as a door opens to the utility room. The utility includes a unit positioned under the window that features a stainless steel sink atop a double cabinet. Plumbing is available with space for a washing machine. A handy storage cupboard is available next to a further door that opens to the final room on the ground floor, the shower room. This large room fully tiled room includes a curved shower cubicle, toilet, radiator and wash basin perched atop a wooden cabinet.

First Floor

At the top of the staircase is bright landing with doors leading off to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also another cupboard, however this one houses the central heating combi-boiler that was replaced in March 2024. Above the landing is a hatch with fixed folding ladder to access a large loft space.   

Both double bedrooms at the rear of the house are superb sizes and include built in wardrobes that take the space above the stairwell. The third bedroom at the front of the house is another smaller double that works well as a large single or home office. The family bathroom is again fully tiled with a bathtub having mixer taps, toilet, and a pedestal wash basin.

The area is well served by bus services as there are local stops for routes to Cannock town centre, Burntwood and Lichfield. Each of these destinations has further services meaning that there are good public transport links to much of the West Midlands and Staffordshire by bus.
