Introduction & Approach

This wonderful, detached home in Amington will be of high interest to families seeking plenty of reception space and good-sized bedrooms. The property is set back from Torc Avenue behind a lovely double-width resin driveway with a front garden to the side that enhances the initial appearance. Ahead of the driveway is a set of double garage doors that open to a storage area as the majority of the garage has been converted to dining space.

To the left of the house is a gated passageway that leads round to the rear garden. The garden has plenty of features including a lawn, lovely shrubs and flowers to the borders, a pond, a tree to the left and tall wooden fencing to the boundaries. To the right side of the house is another passageway that is blocked off by a shed that is only accessed from the rear garden.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home via a wide porch that has plenty of room for guests to remove coats and shoes before a set of French doors open to the lounge. The lounge stretches the full length of the main build with wood effect laminate flooring laid underfoot and a stylish electric fireplace fitted to the front of the chimney breast at the right side of the room. Due to the size of the room, there is plenty of space for a sofa suite and entertainment unit. At the far end of the lounge is another set of French doors that open to a conservatory that is a delightful place for reading a book whilst overlooking the rear garden.

To the left of the lounge is a long kitchen that is opened up at the front where the garage has been converted to the dining room. An exterior door toward the front of the dining room opens to exit out to the side passage. This is very handy for when returning home with groceries. Furthermore, the gas central heating boiler is concealed within units, mounted to the dining room wall.

The kitchen suite is fitted in a galley style with attractive glossy sage-coloured brick-effect tiling to the walls to provide a modern feel. Integrated within the kitchen units is the electric oven, four-burner gas hob, an overhead extractor fan and stainless-steel sink with drainer. There is a clear space within the units for a low-level refrigerator. A door to the rear of the kitchen accesses a utility room which mirrors the conservatory beside it and has plumbing for washing machine as well as an exit door to the garden.  

First Floor

At the front of the lounge is the staircase to the first floor landing. From the landing there are doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a separate toilet. Above the landing is access to a well-insulated loft.

All three bedrooms are very generous and comprise of a large double bedroom at the rear, a similar-sized double bedroom at the rear right, and a large single (or small double) positioned at the front left of the first floor. The master bedroom has a lovely view to the rear where you can see across to the barges passing along the nearby Coventry Canal. Bedrooms two and three both include built-in wardrobes.

The family bathroom comprises of a bathtub with shower and curtain fitted above and a pedestal wash basin. In front of the bathtub is a deep storage cupboard that originally housed the hot water tank before the addition of the combi-boiler, and therefore is now a linen cupboard. As mentioned above, the toilet is located in a separate room in front of the bathroom.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Torc Avenue continues from New Street in Glascote, branching off the Glascote Road (B5000) which links between Tamworth centre and Polesworth. Midway along this route is a junction with Marlborough Way that leads to the A5. This makes it easy for connecting to the M42 and A38 for commuting to places such as Birmingham, Lichfield, Nottingham, and Nuneaton to name a few. Those who don’t mind walking will enjoy a 20-30 minute walk to the Town Centre & Train Station, depending on pace.

For trains, Tamworth railway station is a major split level platform station operating on both the West Coast Main Line and Cross Country Line. This provides excellent access to major cities within mainland UK such as Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Nottingham and Liverpool to name a few.

Bus users will be delighted that a regular circular bus service to Tamworth town centre has stops on Glascote Road. This service runs up at least five times per hour on weekdays. Many further destinations are then available from Tamworth to places such as Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Burton on Trent to name a few.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Parents will be delighted that, according to the Staffordshire Schools website, both catchment schools are well within a mile of this home. The secondary school catchment is listed as Landau Forte, Amington which is 0.5 miles walk or drive away. The Primary School is even closer, as Woodlands Primary is only 0.2 miles away. As with all areas, there are other local schools and it is highly recommended that you check with the local authority to confirm catchment.

Amenities wise, the part of the Glascote Road that New Street branches off is the centre of Glascote itself, and therefore has a row of shops and independent businesses that include a convenience store and takeaways. For a larger shop, Tamworth has a plethora of supermarkets and retail parks which are all within a 5–10-minute journey - the closest being a recently opened Aldi, also on the Glascote Road

Not too far away off the Glascote Road (heading towards Tamworth) is a bridge over the Coventry Canal, providing a pleasant route for walks and runs. Tamworth is also home to the historic Castle as well as the Snowdome, Leisure Centres, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other places of interest.
