Introduction & Exterior

Completely refurbished to an incredibly high standard, this period home in Walsall Wood will prove extremely popular to those seeking a stylish home that is ready to move into. The current owners have stripped the home back to the bare bricks and remodelled it to the stunning property you see today.

The house is set back from Beechtree Road holding an elevated position behind a short garden that unusually, for a front garden, features a fabulous pond. Immediately of note upon arrival is the driveway that passes through the property. This driveway belongs to this property and has a right-of-way in place for neighbouring properties to reach the rear of their land, as well as reaching the rear of this property where there is a tremendous, detached garage.

Entry to this garage is made easy by angled double doors and there is vast space inside for storing a car and having plenty of workshop / storage space surrounding. The garage has tube lighting and power sockets inside, as well as two sets of exterior sockets positioned at either side of the entrance.

The exterior is completed by a fabulous rear garden that includes a plush lawn with barked stepping stone path leading to an area of raised decking. This provides a great area for an outdoor furniture set. The garden is completed by raised plant bed supported by sleepers, and tall wooden fencing to the boundaries to maintain privacy. As with many properties of this era, at the far end of the garden is a secure gate for the neighbouring property to use as reasonable access (a right of way) to and from their rear garden.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home from the front via a composite front door and will be immediately impressed with what they see. They are brought into a gorgeous lounge that features an exposed brick chimney breast as the main focal point and eye-catching wood-effect LVT flooring. The chimney breast has been deliberately left open for ornamental use with the option for the new owners to include a fireplace or log burner, should they desire. Guests will also be impressed by having a full view of the length of the house as the ground floor (apart from the bathroom and conservatory) is open plan.

The staircase with built-in storage underneath separates the lounge from the dining room, where a matching exposed brick chimney breast resides. The staircase begins from the dining area and includes motion sensor strip lighting fitted as a really clever touch. As depicted in the photos, the dining room easily holds a family dining table and has a suspended light fitting above. It must be noted that the entire length of the right side of the property has had acoustic insulation applied to eliminate any noise between this home and the neighbouring property.

Just beyond the dining room is the stylish kitchen suite with solid wooden work surfaces and having a glass ceiling lantern above. The suite is fitted in a ‘C’ formation around the rear and left walls, and protruding between the dining room and kitchen to form a breakfast bar. Set within the suite is range of appliances that include a Neff slide & hide chest-height fan-assisted oven, 90cm five-ring induction hob, a dishwasher, and a composite one-and-a-half bowl sink. A cupboard is available to house a fridge freezer if desired. Underfloor heating has been fitted below the floor in the kitchen area and there is hard-wired down lighting underneath the wall mounted units.

A corridor to the rear of the kitchen houses a matching utility suite with clear recesses for a washing machine and tumble dryer to be positioned. This corridor has doors leading off to the conservatory and family bathroom. The conservatory is a great space to relax with a view of the garden. It has a sloped roof and French doors that open out to the decking. Along with the loft, the conservatory features a WiFi booster that has been cat5 ethernet cabled in to provide excellent internet signal to the house and garage. A further booster is in the loft to give great signal across the first floor.

The family bathroom is another fantastic suite that viewers will love. It comprises of a bathtub with shower and screen fitted over, and a large combi-unit that includes two circular wash basins, the toilet and houses the gas central heating combination boiler. The bathtub includes wall mounted central controls with a stunning waterfall tap. Sleek tiling has been applied to the splashback areas and there is a wall-mounted chrome towel radiator beside the entrance.  

First Floor

Guests make their way up the carpeted staircase to a long gallery landing that has doors leading off to all four bedrooms and a very trendy shower room suite. All four bedrooms could be classed as double bedrooms with the fourth bedroom the only one that could be considered to be either a small double or a generous single. The largest of the bedrooms, bedroom one, is at the front of the house and has a deep storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the staircase.

The shower room is really special. To maximise the space, a lockable sliding door has been installed that opens to a marvellous suite that includes a walk-in shower cubicle with modern wood-effect wet-room floor, a wide ceramic wash basin with drawer, a toilet, a wall-mounted chrome towel radiator, and a backlit wall mirror. The water to the shower is provided by a remarkable storm head that really does give full body coverage due to its diameter. This is controlled by an electronic display and there is feature LED mood lighting installed.
