Canalside Frontage, Garden & Garage

Located deep within a popular modern development holding a fabulous position beside the Wyrley & Essington Canal, this executive detached home will leave viewers very impressed. The property is set back from Curlew Drive behind a block-paved driveway that has off-road parking for three cars, with an extra space available in the long single garage. A manual up-and-over door opens to the front of the garage, with a personnel door at the rear that opens to the house, and specifically the utility room.

In front of the house, the boundary runs all the way up to the canal, which has allowed the owners to create a picturesque, decked seating area, one of the key points that made them buy the property. A secure gate to the left of the house opens to the side passage leading to the rear garden. The garden is a generous and private area that has a deep block-paved patio for positioning a range of outdoor furniture. An outdoor tap is in place below the kitchen window. A short retaining wall provides a boundary to a raised lawn that has a shed to the far left corner. Tall wooden fencing and a large tree keep the garden lovely and private.

Ground Floor

We begin the tour of the home at the front door which opens into a large hallway that has plenty of room for removing coats and shoes, as well as a closet under the staircase for storing them. The remaining doors from the hallway open to the lounge, kitchen and a welcome guest WC with wash basin.

The lounge is at the front of the house and is the largest of two reception rooms that this room has. Key features of the lounge are the bay window to the front, second window to the side ensuring this room is naturally bright, a multi-fuel burner fireplace recessed to the exterior wall, and the carpeted flooring.

The kitchen has a stylish grey, hi-gloss suite that features a range of integrated appliances including a chest height oven with microwave above, a four-ring electric hob with overheard extractor and sliding bin store. The suite is complemented by attractive metro tiling to the splashback areas. An open space at the front of the room is ideal for those looking to position an American-style fridge freezer.

A large opening at the front-right of the room opens to the dining room. The dining room comfortable holds a six to eight-seater table and has a recess at the front of the room perfect for a desk. The current owners utilise this area to work from home. A set of French doors open from the dining room out to the rear garden. A utility room with a suite matching that of the kitchen is to the left of the kitchen. In here there are clear spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer, whilst the gas system boiler is mounted to the exterior wall. Further doors from the utility room exit to the garage and garden patio.

First Floor

The winding carpeted staircase leads up to a delightful gallery landing with lots of wall space for those who like to display artwork or family photos. From the landing there are doors leading off to the family bathroom, four double bedrooms and an airing cupboard that houses the pressurised water tank.
