Introduction & Exterior

This beautiful Victorian home, built in 1899 as per the carved date stone, will prove extremely popular to families seeking a large home with a range of traditional features. The property is set back from Lichfield Road behind a block paved driveway that can comfortably hold two cars and has gravel edging to enhance the kerb appeal.

To the left of the house is a secure gate that opens to a passage that leads past the house to a generous rear garden. The garden begins with a slabbed patio laid around the house to provide plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set. It continues down to the lawn which covers most of the ground space and is bordered by mature trees and attractive shrubs. A wooden shed is positioned at the far end of the garden and there is a combination of tall wooden fencing and brick wall to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home via the main front door into a generous porch that has a mosaic floor and a wonderful stained glass second doorway with side windows that opens to the main hallway. The carpeted hallway boasts more original features such as the panelled staircase, ceiling arch and leaded side window. From the hallway there are doors leading off to two reception rooms, the kitchen and an understairs storage cupboard.

Both reception rooms are a similar size with decorative open fireplaces. The front room includes a delightful bay window and exposed floor boards. The rear living room also has a bay, but this one includes a set of French doors that open to the patio. Shelving is included beside the chimney breast in both reception rooms.

The kitchen is outstanding and features a modern navy blue suite with Minerva carra white work surfaces. Concealed within the units are a dishwasher, double refrigerator and a double freezer in addition to the chest height double oven, four burner gas hob and overhead extractor fan which are visually integrated. A one-and-a-half bowl sink with drainer is positioned in front of the large window that allows in lots of natural light. The left of the kitchen features a large open space for a dining table and there is a door to the front of the room that opens to a deep pantry.

At the rear of the kitchen there is an opening to the utility room and guest WC, where there is also an exit door out to the rear garden. The utility room features a worksurface with circular stainless steel sink and space underneath for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Mounted on the wall above is the gas central heating combi boiler.  

First Floor & Second Floor

Viewers make their way up to the first floor where the spindled banister continues along the landing to the second staircase that leads to the top floor. Doors from the landing open to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom and the separate WC.

The largest two bedrooms sit above the two reception rooms to the right side of the first floor. Similarly, both bedrooms have a chimney breast with decorative iron fireplaces. Bedroom one at the front has a delightful bay window that looks out to Lichfield Road whereas Bedroom two has built-in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. Bedroom three is positioned at the far end of the house and is another generous double bedroom whereas the final bedroom is a single bedroom which is currently utilised as a home office.

Near to the top of the staircase is the family bathroom and separate WC, both of which having ornate tiling to the floor. The bathroom includes a wash basin sat atop a storage cabinet and a bathtub with shower and screen fitted above.

At the top of the second staircase is a door opening to the large attic room. This vast space is currently used for storage and has further secluded storage within the eaves. A radiator and old gas fireplace are found up here and there is a large skylight providing the natural light.
