Lichfield Road, Barton Under Needwood

This charming and characterful semi-detached cottage offers a wonderful blend of period features and practical living space, set within generous gardens and enjoying a particularly appealing position close to the canal and within easy reach of Barton Marina.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for approximately three vehicles and sits well back from the A38, offering a sense of privacy while remaining conveniently located for transport links and nearby amenities.

Upon entering the property, the ground floor accommodation centres around a welcoming living room, a warm and inviting space enhanced by attractive exposed beams and a feature log-burning stove set within a brick surround, creating a cosy focal point. This room provides ample space for seating and relaxation.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by tiled splashbacks and offers a practical layout for everyday living. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer and dishwasher, alongside a five-ring gas hob with extractor fan over and an eye-level double oven.

Leading directly off the kitchen is a pleasant sunroom, providing an additional reception area that enjoys views of the garden and creates a lovely space to relax, dine or entertain while making the most of the natural light.

Also located on the ground floor is a convenient cloakroom comprising a WC and hand wash basin.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the main bedroom is a particularly generous double room, comfortably accommodating a large bed along with additional bedroom furniture. Positioned off the main bedroom is the bathroom, which is fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and hand wash basin, with the added benefit of useful cupboard storage.

Also on the first floor is a further room currently arranged as a dressing room. This versatile space could equally lend itself well to use as a nursery, study or home office depending on a purchaser's needs.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The gardens are beautifully arranged and generous in size, offering several distinct areas ideal for outdoor seating, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding setting.

A detached garage is positioned within the grounds and has been temporarily converted by the current owners to provide additional accommodation currently arranged as a double bedroom with a bathroom off. Prospective purchasers should note that the vendors do not hold building regulations approval or associated documentation for this conversion, and the space may therefore suit a variety of alternative uses subject to any necessary consents.

One of the most appealing aspects of the property is its proximity to the canal. The home enjoys canal views and benefits from a rear gate providing direct access to the canal towpath, making it ideal for walking, cycling and enjoying the waterside setting. Barton Marina, with its range of restaurants, shops and leisure facilities, is also located just a short distance away.

Altogether, this delightful cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of character in a particularly attractive waterside location, with flexible accommodation and beautifully arranged outdoor space.
