THE PROPERTY

Tenure: FREEHOLD

EPC Rating: C  **  Council Tax Band: B

Introduction & Exterior

This stunning family home within a short walk of Rugeley Town Centre has been subject of a refurbishment in the past year to the remarkable home that stands today. Originally a four bedroom house, the current owners have converted the ground floor bathroom into a utility room with guest WC, with one of the bedrooms on the first floor being changed to a more traditional first floor family bathroom. The finish of the whole property is very attractive and will be loved by all viewers.

The house is set back from Burnthill Lane behind a block-paved driveway that has comfortable off-road parking for two cars, side-by-side. A pathway to the left of the driveway leads down to the front door. Beside the front door is the original gated passage between this home and the neighbouring property that has been blocked off with both properties having ground floor extensions, although this does serve as excellent additional storage.

The house is accompanied at the rear by a terrific rear garden that has impressive length and has been maintained well. The garden has been landscaped as it lowers away from the property, beginning with a patio close to the house. This then lowers to a wide area of decking and subsequently down to a plush lawn. Beyond the lawn is a gravel patch where there is a wooden shed positioned to the right. Wooden fencing is erected to both side boundaries.

Important – Rear Access

At the far end of the garden the owners have permission to erect a secure gate that opens to access the land belonging to Rugeley Community Church. We hold on record a copy of the letter granting permission. It is not a right of way over the land, but it is an agreement that the gate will be used with consideration for the land.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into a long hallway that has doors leading off to the dining room to the right, and ahead to the utility room. To the left is a carpeted staircase that leads straight to the first floor with a bend to the right at the top. Natural light is allowed into the hallway by a window to the left and, even at this early stage, guests will appreciate they have entered an extremely well presented home. The wood-effect flooring and contrasting white skirting boards provide a lovely introduction to the interior.

As mentioned above, the utility room was formerly the family bathroom and is therefore a great-sized space to be include both a row of units with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer if desired, and a guest WC with pedestal wash basin. A window opens into the side passage.

The dining room is a gorgeous reception room that has been opened out with the lounge to create an outstanding double reception room. A bay window at the front of the dining room provides fabulous natural light and extra space to make it comfortable for a large six-seater dining table. Both the dining room and lounge have blocked off chimney breasts present, along with a continuation of the high-quality flooring from the hallway. At the rear of the lounge is a set of French doors opening out to the garden patio, and a single door that opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen is a fabulous extension to the original build, featuring a stylish suite and comfortable space for a breakfast table. The suite is fitted around the rear of the room where a recess to the left has an integrated electric oven with induction hob and overhead extractor. A beautiful ceramic one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer is fitted in front of the window, having a glorious view out over the rear garden. The gas combination boiler is cleverly secluded within the units at the far left corner of the room. A door to the right provides an alternative exit out to the garden at the same area as the French doors from the lounge.  

First Floor

Moving up the carpeted staircase leads viewers to a lovely gallery landing with plenty of wall space for artwork and photography. Doors lead off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. With there being a shared passageway, the first floor is built over this and is therefore wider than the ground floor.

Bedrooms one and two are positioned to the right side of the house and are both generous double bedrooms, with bedroom one at the rear being ever so slightly larger. Bedroom one also has the advantage of the best view over the rear garden and the greenery of the community church grounds. Bedroom three is a great-sized single bedroom (arguably a small double) that has a built-in storage cupboard that runs behind alongside the staircase, over the shared passageway.  

The family bathroom was originally a double bedroom and is therefore a large space for this stylish suite to be fitted. It includes a long bathtub with shower and screen fitted above, a toilet, wash basin atop a drawer unit, and a chrome heated towel radiator. This is all complemented by patterned vinyl flooring and tile-effect cladding around the shower area. A deep recess provides an area for shelving and secluded storage.
