PROPERTY IN BRIEF

Ginger are delighted to offer this extended, three bedroom terraced property located in Laurels Crescent, Balsall Common. This is a fantastic opportunity, particularly as a younger family home, with the catchment of the village excellent schools, a short walk to the village centre, train station and easy reach of local country villages.

The current owner has lived here since new, where Laurels Crescent is known for its original village members, with a fair percentage of the current homeowners being here since these homes were constructed. They even featured in an article in the village Bugle magazine some years ago.

The property is offered with the benefit of no upward chain, and although the property does require some modernisation throughout, it does present an opportunity to make this spacious family home your own.

The property delivers spacious accommodation throughout, where on the ground floor is a welcoming hallway with cloakroom, a large lounge with a feature fireplace and a large window for plenty of light, opening into the rear dining section with door out to the south-facing garden. The kitchen has been extended with access to the garden.

Upstairs, the property delivers two really spacious double bedrooms with fitted furniture, a generous sized single/home office, and a spacious family bathroom.

Whilst outdoors, there is generous parking into the front with a large lawn area which could be expanded to offer more parking, a carport with storage, where the rear, is a private south-facing garden, with patio, undercover area and a workshop to the rear with rear garden access.


APPROACH

Laurels Crescent is a popular and peaceful cul-de-sac where this property offers generous tandem parking into the front, with a large lawn stretching all the way to the pavement edge, which could be easily adapted and altered to create more parking, should you wish. To the front of the house, is a carport area which is ideal for storing away bins, as well as a further gated store area. The pathway leads from the pavement edge all the way down to the front door.

LIVING ACCOMMODATION

Once inside the property, you are greeted by a spacious hallway, which is an ideal space to kick off shoes and hang coats, with stairs rising to the bedrooms and family bathroom, with an internal door leading to the living room, as well as a door into the downstairs cloakroom.

The cloakroom is a handy space within the family house, having a toilet and wash basin, with a window to side and central heating.

Stepping through into the family living room, you will be impressed with the space that this area offers. First of all, the key feature here is the Parquet flooring, which is original to the property, and keeps a sense of tradition along with the traditional style of fireplace and Welsh slate as well. This living area easily accommodates multiple sofas, media centre and the large window to the front elevation to ensure an abundance of natural light flows into this space.

The living room opens up at the rear end to the dining area, which is a nice sized space, perfect for a larger family dining table, with patio door leading out to the south-facing garden. The dining space is conventionally located next to the kitchen, which is ideal for family meal times, as well as having the original serving hatch which is a nice traditional feature and adds character to this space.

There’s a useful under the stairs storage cupboard which is really deep, located off the dining space, and we love the feature picture rail all around this room.

The kitchen has been extended some time back, to provide a really generous kitchen/breakfast space, offering a good number of wall and base units with plenty of work-surface space, although you may choose to re-fit the kitchen, however, it is still perfectly workable. The kitchen is home to the Worcester boiler, and leaves space for a free-standing fridge/freezer and a free-standing cooker, whilst having a double sink and drainer to the rear elevation with a large window looking into the south-facing garden. There’s a further door and window to the side, which is great when entertaining, with plenty of room for a breakfast bar should you wish.


BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM

Welcome upstairs. This property delivers really spacious bedrooms perfect for a family home. First of all, the landing gives access to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom, as well as access into the loft space, which appears to be partially boarded.

The larger bedroom is set to the front of the house, a really spacious double room with large window to ensure plenty of natural light, as well as having some fitted wardrobes. In addition, there is a recess with further wardrobe storage and the airing cupboard.

Bedroom number two is set to the rear of the house, again, another spacious double sized room with exposed and varnished floorboards, with a large double glazed window looking into the secluded garden view. This bedroom also provides a recess area which is ideal for hanging clothes, where perhaps you may add some doors to the front, or the perfect space to have some wardrobes fitted.

Bedroom number three is a larger sized single bedroom, or should you work from home would work really well as a home office, particularly as it currently has some storage furniture fitted as well as a fitted double wardrobe. This room has a double glazed window looking out into the rear garden, as well as central heating like the other bedrooms.

The family bathroom is a nice size, having a bath, pedestal wash basin and toilet with dual flush, as well as an opaque double-opening window to the front elevation allowing plenty of natural light, central heating, and a useful storage cupboard ideal for hiding away towels and toiletries.


OUTSIDE SPACES

We talked about how peaceful the cul-de-sac is and the garden continues this theme. First of all, there is an undercover patio area as you step out from the kitchen or the dining room, which then steps down to a further patio area, and a small lawn area with access to the rear workshop. The garden really is peaceful, south-facing, and a tranquil space to sit, and not being overlooked from the rear is an advantage. There is an outdoor tap and a gate to the rear which has access to remove your garden rubbish out towards the main street area.

WORKSHOP

Should you require a workshop or man cave, then this home delivers, with a useful brick built building to the rear, which the current owner has used throughout his life as a workshop, but does offer multiple uses particularly having power.
