THE PROPERTY

Tenure: FREEHOLD

EPC Rating: C  **  Council Tax Band: E

Introduction & Exterior

Located in the popular Coton Green area of Tamworth and positioned in front of Wigginton Park, this fantastic, detached house is the perfect long term family home. The property is set back from Southey Drive behind a tarmac driveway where there is off road parking for at least two cars and a strip of lawn. The lawn not only enhances the kerb appeal but provides potential for further off road parking. Viewers will then take the main front door into the home.

To the rear, this home has a garden that is as well presented as the interior. Mainly covered by a high quality synthetic turf, the garden also features two flagstone patio areas that ensure that the new owners will be able to enjoy an area to relax in the sun throughout the summer afternoons. The whole garden is surrounded by wooden fencing and there is gated side access to the right of the property to be able to pass between the front and rear without disturbing the interior.     

Ground Floor

Immediately after entering the home into the hallway, viewers will appreciate just how fantastically presented this home is. Laid to the hallway floor is high quality Karndean flooring that continues into the kitchen and the staircase has trendy patterned wallpaper applied to a very tall wall. Immediately to the right is the guest wc that includes a wash hand basin and the remaining doors from the hallway lead into the lounge, kitchen and family room.

The lounge to the left is a superb reception room that is carpeted and includes a delightful bay window to the front. It is worth noting at this point that all windows throughout this home are double glazed. The lounge has stylish panelling added that conceals the cabling for a TV / entertainment system. To the right of the hallway is the family room / office which is a conversion from what was originally a single garage. There is now a window to the front.

The final room on the ground floor is arguable the best room in the house – the full width kitchen with dining area. This sensational room has all the hi-gloss kitchen units fitted to the right side of the room and these incorporate a chest-height double oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, four ring gas hob and an overhead extractor fan. To the left of the room there is so much space that the six-seater dining table that is currently in place barely takes up much of it. Both the kitchen and dining area have a window that looks out to the rear, with a large set of patio doors in between that lead out to the rear garden.

First Floor

Moving upstairs, the landing area is a generous size with space for a sideboard as shown in the photos. There are doors leading off to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a surprizing large airing cupboard that houses the boiler for the pressurised hot water system. There is also a hatch above for access to a huge, part boarded loft space.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and is a marvellous double bedroom. It features a fitted slide mirror door wardrobe, carpeted floor and access to a marvellous en suite shower room. Of the remaining bedrooms, bedrooms two and three are brilliant doubles, the fourth bedroom is a generous single bedroom and all are carpeted. Completing the interior, the family bathroom is a smart suite that features a bath with shower head mixer tap, toilet and wash hand basin.

The catchment for primary school is Lark Hall Infants & Nursery School which is a very short walk from this home.
