Introduction and Exterior 

Built in 2022 as part of the sought-after Sheasby Park development, this fabulous home in Fradley will be of high interest to buyers seeking a home that is ready to move into. The current owners have done a magnificent job of maintaining the home with tasteful décor and have greatly improved the rear garden from what was originally presented by the builder.

The property is set back from Clayton Avenue behind a double-width tarmac driveway that provides comfortable off-road parking for two cars. A border for plants is in place in front of the house to enhance to kerb appeal and a short, slabbed path is positioned ahead of the composite entrance door.

As mentioned above the house comes with a wonderful rear garden and this comprises of a lawn laid to the left side with a slabbed patio and pathway bordering. The path leads to the far end of the garden where there is a secure gate to access Clayton Avenue around the neighbouring gardens for the easy removal of garden waste. Just before this rear gate is a garden shed and secluded area for bin storage. The garden is surrounded by tall wooden fencing to maintain privacy.

Ground Floor

As soon as guests enter through the main front door, they will immediately appreciate the tasteful décor chosen by the current owners, and this is a theme throughout the house. Immediately to the left is the guest WC with wash basin, followed by a handy storage cupboard, ideal for cloaks. A door has been removed from the hallway to open up the hallway for a more welcoming space, and to the right of this is a wide entrance the stylish kitchen.

The kitchen has a wonderful suite that includes a range of integrated appliances such as a washing machine, fridge freezer, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob and a cookerhood extractor. The gas combi boiler is also secluded within the units. A stainless steel one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer is set in front of the kitchen window. As expected, all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed.

The final room on the ground floor is a vast, carpeted reception room that is designed to be a lounge with space for dining. There is comfortable space for a sofa suite and four-seater table. An abundance of natural light is allowed in by a set of French doors that also give a fabulous view of the rear garden.

First Floor

From the hallway, the staircase winds round to the first floor where a lovely landing is found at the top. Being mid-terraced, there is no window on the landing meaning that plenty of artwork and family photography can be displayed if desired. From the landing there are doors opening to both bedrooms and the family bathroom, as well as a hatch above for access to the loft.

The main bedroom is at the front of the house, being a great sized double bedroom that is supported by a superb en suite shower room. The shower room comprises of a double cubicle with electric shower unit, pedestal wash basin, toilet, and a tall, heated towel radiator. Also from the bedroom is a deep storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the stairwell.

Bedroom two at the rear has a greater floorspace than the master bedroom, spanning the full width of the house and having a row of fitted wardrobes along the entire left side.

The final room is the family bathroom, which was upgraded when built to include an electric shower unit and screen fitted above the bathtub. Again, there is a heated towel radiator, toilet, and a pedestal wash basin. As with the en suite, the family bathroom has attractive tiling applied to the splashback areas.
