Introduction, Exterior & Garage

Located in the original part of Fradley Village and with country fields behind the rear garden, this semi-detached home will prove extremely popular to those seeking a long term move with plenty of reception space and plenty of storage. Viewers may note upon arrival that there are solar panels (sixteen in total) fitted to the roof. These provide electricity to the grid only, which provides an income. 

The house is set back from Church Lane behind a walled block-paved driveway that provides comfortable off-road parking for two cars. The driveway precedes an electric garage door that opens to a double length, tandem garage. At the midpoint of the garage is a large sliding door to segregate the two garages, which is particularly advantageous to anyone with a classic car, running a business from home or requiring a large storage space.

A corridor from the rear of the garage leads to a rear exit door and out to the garden. The garden is a delightful private area with a slabbed patio and a pathway leading through the garden. To the left of the path is a lawn with shrubbery border, whereas to the right is a huge double-length garden shed with has power and lighting.

Ground Floor

We begin the tour of the home at the front, where a set of French doors beneath a storm porch open to a secure porch that is ample for guests to remove and store coats and shoes. The porch is part of a ground floor extension across the front of the building that also includes an expansion of the next room, the lounge. Along with the vast space available in the lounge, viewers will immediately note the fabulous parquet flooring. The staircase to the first floor is positioned at the left of the lounge, with a gas fireplace with brick surround positioned at the right.

French doors at the rear of the lounge open to an impressive dining room that again has parquet flooring. As the kitchen is part of a rear extension, this leaves the dining room as very spacious room for a family dining table and other furniture to be comfortably positioned. The chimney breast at the left of the room has an electric fire fitted. Another wide set of French doors, this time with a matching window to the left, allow access to the kitchen as well as natural light into the dining room.

With dining already taken care of in the previous room, the kitchen has a large open space to the left side that also gives an option for breakfast dining. Either of these spaces could be used for an additional family seating area with a sofa and tv, for example. The suite is fitted to the right side of the room in two rows and, although functional, is likely to be replaced by the next owners. It features an integrated chest height oven, electric hob, and dishwasher.

Sliding doors open out to the garden patio and door to the right of the kitchen opens to the aforementioned corridor between the garden and the garage. An additional laundry room is found from the corridor that also includes a toilet. Finally from the ground floor, a brick store house is connected to the corridor, accessible from the rear garden.

First Floor

Guests arrive at the first floor landing where there is plenty of wall space to hang artwork and family photography if desired. Doors from the landing open to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, as well as a store cupboard. A hatch above provides an entry to the insulated loft space.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and is a fabulous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. There is also a cupboard utilising the void above the stairwell. This bedroom spans the full width of the house and has a large window to keep the room lovely and bright.

Bedrooms two and three are positioned at the rear of the house and are double and single rooms respectively, both having windows overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom three is a long single bedroom that could be utilised as a home office, which will be of interest to those with smaller families that work from home. At present there are two storage cupboard in bedroom three with one housing the redundant water tank. The house now has a combi-boiler that is mounted to the rear wall of the garage.

The final room in the house is the family bathroom. The suite comprises of a wide bathtub with centrally positioned taps, a separate shower cubicle with electric shower, wash basin and a toilet.
