Introduction & Exterior

This superbly presented home in Aldridge is perfect for a family seeking a long-term move to a house that is ready to move into. The property is set back from Devon Crescent holding an elevated position behind a full-width block-paved driveway for parking two cars, side-by-side. A porch has been added to the front of the property which allows people space to remove coats and shoes before making their way into the main hallway.

To the left of the porch is a communal passageway through the terrace with a secure gate at the end that opens to the rear garden. The garden begins with a block-paved patio that is decoratively laid around the dining room extension to give plenty of ground space for an outdoor furniture set. The garden then rises to a lawn that has shrubs and flowers planted to the borders and wooden fencing erected to the boundaries. At the top if the garden is a large shed that has been used as both a home office and workshop. Naturally, there is power supplied to enable these uses.

Ground Floor

After entering through the porch, guests arrive in the hallway which has storage cupboards built to the left side. The straight staircase to the first floor is immediately ahead with doors leading off to the lounge and kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted in a galley style, with an attractive modern suite fitted to the left and right sides of the room. A fan-assisted electric oven is in place at chest-height to the left side with a four-ring electric hob beside this. The remaining suite has clear spaces for a washing machine, tumble dryer, slimline dishwasher and a fridge freezer.  The sink with drainer is positioned ahead of the double-glazed window that looks out to the garden patio.

The lounge stretches the full length of the original build as it was intended as a lounge and dining room. With the large dining room extension opened out at the rear of the room, the lounge is now a vast space for the whole family to relax. Key features in here are the wide bowed window allowing in plenty of natural light and a stunning log burner fireplace with wooden beam mantlepiece and tiled hearth. The dining room easily holds a six-seater dining table and has a window to the side with French doors opening to the garden patio.

First Floor

Viewers arrive at the top of the staircase at a corridor landing with doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom features a complete and stylish suite that includes a modern corner bathtub, separate walk-in shower cubicle with electric shower unit, chrome heated towel radiator, a toilet, and a wash basin sat atop a cabinet. The suite is perfectly complemented by attractive tiling to the walls.

The bedrooms comprise of two large double bedrooms at the front of the house, with part of bedroom two being built over the communal passage to allow for a larger bedroom. Bedroom one at the right side of the house includes a range of fitted wardrobe furniture. The third and final bedroom is an excellent sized single bedroom that has a recessed entry before opening to the main area and has a great view over the rear garden.
