Introduction & Exterior

This fabulously presented and extended semi-detached home positioned on a quiet close in Lichfield will prove extremely popular to families seeking a long move to a place that is ready to move into. The house holds a slightly elevated position, being set back from Mallicot Close behind a full-width, block-paved driveway to comfortably park two cards. The driveway precedes a deep single garage that has double opening doors at the front for access.

To the left of the garage is a passage leads beside the house to be able to pass between the front and back, with a secure gate between. A side access directly into the kitchen is present making it ideal for returning home with groceries.

The rear garden is an impressive size. It begins from the rear of the house with raised decking across the full width of the garden. From here it steps down to lawn with a slabbed path to the left, and trees and shrubbery to the right. At the far end of the garden is a raised patio with steps at either side. The patio is a fabulous size for the placement of an outdoor furniture set.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into a short porch that is ideal for removing coats and shoes during adverse weather conditions. A further secure door opens to a wide hallway that has the staircase leading up to the first floor to the left, and a handy storage cupboard to the right. French doors at the rear of the hallway open to the lounge.

Owing to the ground floor extension at the rear, the lounge is a vast reception room that incorporates dining at the far end. Viewers’ attention will be immediately drawn to the fabulous log burner fireplace set within the chimney breast to the right side of the room, which kicks out tremendous warmth throughout the home during the winter months. There is plenty of room around the log burner for a sofa suite to be positioned along with an entertainment unit. The dining area can easily hold a large family table ahead of a set of wide French doors that open out to the garden.

At the left of the dining area is a door through to a long kitchen, also owing to the extension. It features a suite that comprises of wall and base mounted units with an integrated four-burner gas hob, overhead extractor, and an electric oven. Clear spaces with plumbing are available for a washing machine and dishwasher, with space available at the front of the room for an American fridge-freezer, if desired.

First Floor

Guests make their way up the carpeted staircase to arrive at an L-shaped landing that has doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate WC. There is also access to a thickly insulated loft above.

The family bathroom has been recently replaced with a stylish modern suite that incorporates an L-shaped bathtub with shower and screen fitted over, a wooden cabinet with wash basin atop, toilet, and a heated towel rail. The metal fittings in the bathroom are gold in colour which is a lovely touch. The suite is complemented by attractive decorative floor tiles. A cupboard to the front left of the bathroom houses the Glow-worm gas combi-boiler

All three bedrooms are of a generous size with the largest of the three, Bedroom One, being positioned at the rear of the house and being especially generous. Bedroom Two to the right of the staircase and Bedroom Three to the left being slightly shorter and could be classed as either a small double or large single bedroom.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Mallicot Close is a quiet cul-de-sac off Wissage Lane near to the Trent Valley area of Lichfield where there is a major roundabout junction. This includes the A5127, Eastern Avenue & Cappers Lane. The A5127 leads to Lichfield City Centre in the west and the A38 north in the east, which leads directly to Burton on Trent and Derby. Taking Cappers Lane will provide access to the A38 south (for Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield) as well as rural routes and the A51 to Tamworth. Eastern Avenue is a bypass which navigates around half the circumference of Lichfield, and therefore provides good access to the A51 north to Rugeley & Stafford.

There is a regular half-hourly bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located on Eastern Avenue. The bus station provides links to all of the above destinations as well as places beyond Lichfield to the west including Walsall, Brownhills, Burntwood & Cannock.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located within walking distance of Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

With Lichfield being one of the smallest cities in the UK, the majority of homes are within walking distance to the centre, where there are plenty of famous and independent stores. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements.

Just before reaching the town centre, there are two large supermarkets a short drive to the west of the property, with another supermarket located north on Eastern Avenue. At the tip of Hobs Road, there is a row of shops including a convenience store. The recent Cathedral View development in nearby Streethay includes a Coffee Shop / Bar, convenience store and takeaway outlets. 

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Netherstowe High School which is half a mile from this home. There are two catchment primary schools within a half mile which are Scotch Orchard, which is very close by, and St. Chads Primary. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
