Introduction & Exterior

This truly remarkable family home in the Dosthill area of Tamworth will impress every viewer. The property holds an excellent position within this modern development with in not being overlooked to the rear, perfect for those who enjoy their privacy. The initial view of the property is very attractive as there is a full-width driveway with block-paving that precedes a single garage with manual up and over door. A secure passage to the rear garden is found to the right of the building.

The rear garden is generous and begins with an attractive flagstone patio. In the summer time, this patio area becomes an extension of the ground floor owing to the four-panel bi-folding doors from the dining room and is fabulous for entertaining family and friends. The remainder of the garden is lawn with shrubbery to the borders, a wooden shed and tall wooden fencing. A secure gate to the rear provides access to the communal green and provides a short-cut for walking around the local area including to the primary school.

Ground Floor

The home has been significantly upgraded since being purchased by the current owners and this is immediately apparent after entering through the front door with the top quality, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring laid throughout the majority of the ground floor. It has been reconfigured to provide open plan living to the rear of the house whilst still retaining a traditional lounge for privacy and comfort. The hallway has doors off to the kitchen and lounge, as well as welcome guest WC with wash basin and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The carpeted staircase leading to the first floor is ahead to the left.

Before continuing, we must make a note of the Underfloor Heating. Apart from the guest WC and garage, the entire ground floor has underfloor heating. This is also found in the first floor bathrooms.

Taking the door ahead brings viewers into an outstanding kitchen suite with island unit and a wide open dining area. Viewers’ attention will no doubt be drawn to the four-panel bi-folding doors installed to the rear of the dining area. The kitchen features a range of dove grey units, that includes a sliding pantry, complemented by white granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a large four ring induction hob fitted into the island unit, a dishwasher, and a chest height oven. A recess has been created from the rear of the garage that snugly fits an American-style fridge freezer, as well as a recess for a microwave above the oven. At the right of the kitchen are doors to exit to the right side passage and a personnel door into the rear of the garage. The garage houses the system gas boiler mounted high behind this door.

The lounge is a fabulous separate reception room that has a door from the hallway and a second door to the rear that opens to the dining area. With dining taken care of, the lounge is a vast room to solely be designated for the family to relax. A bay window provides extra space and an abundance of natural light. It’s worth noting that all windows throughout this home are double-glazed.

First Floor

Viewers arrive at the top of the staircase at a wide landing, having doors leading off to all four bedrooms, an outstanding family bathroom and an airing cupboard that houses the hot water tank. Above the landing is access to a huge and insulated loft space.

The family bathroom is a very impressive suite that features a deep bathtub with central taps positioned underneath a skylight. At the opposite end of the room is a walk-in shower with a fabulous storm head. Between these is a row of units incorporating cabinets, two wash basins, and the toilet. Opposite these is a wall mounted heated towel rail.

The bedrooms comprise of three large doubles and a smaller double that could be considered a large single. These three supporting bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the house, each having a window overlooking the garden. Bedroom two at the far left features a low-level entry door to eaves storage within the sloping roof.

The master bedroom at the front of the house is a wonderful room that includes a row of wardrobes similar to that of bedroom two immediately behind, and access to an en suite bathroom. The en suite comprises of a large wash basin atop a cabinet, toilet, chrome heated towel radiator and a long bathtub with shower and screen fitted over. The bedroom itself is a wide-open space that can easily hold a king-sized bed and other desired furniture.
