Tenure: FREEHOLD

EPC Rating: Awaiting Report  **  Council Tax Band: D

Introduction & Exterior

The magnificent executive detached property on the sought-after development of ‘The Birches’ on the southern fringe of Rugeley bordering Cannock Chase is likely to prove highly desirable to larger families seeking plenty of space, both inside and out.

The house is set back from Canterbury Drive behind a double-width block-paved driveway that is supported by a low maintenance garden. The driveway precedes a large single garage that has a manual up-and-over door to enter. A secure gate to the right side of the house opens to a passage leading through to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a superb size and features two gravel seating areas laid either side of the protruding conservatory. The majority of the floor space is a plush lawn with a raised section of decking at the far right corner, that has a pergola erected above. Attractive shrubbery and trees are planted to the borders, supported by sleepers. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Entering the home via the main glass-panelled front door leads guests into a long entrance hallway that has plenty of space to remove coats and shoes. To the left of the hallway is a carpeted staircase that leads in a straight fashion up to the first floor landing. A door to the underneath space of the staircase opens to a guest WC that includes a wall-mounted wash basin. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the lounge (left) and breakfast kitchen (ahead).

The lounge is a fabulous size that is more impressive considering that dining is held in a separate room, thus making this a particularly large room to be solely designated for family relaxation. A delightful bay window at the front provides both an attractive feature and an abundance of natural light. Double doors at the rear of the room open to the dining room which can easily hold an eight-seater dining table and has a double-glazed window that looks out to the rear garden. It’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed.

A door from the dining room provides an alternative route into the vast kitchen. The initial left side of the kitchen is left wide open, and this makes a great area for a breakfast table or to be used as an additional snug area. The suite is fitted around the right side of the room and includes plenty of unit and work surface space. Integrated within these units is a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan and an electric oven. The one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer is positioned in front of a window looking out to the garden, and there are spaces for a dishwasher, washing machine and refrigerator underneath.  

The rear exit door from the kitchen opens to a wonderful conservatory that offers a panoramic view of the rear garden as well as an additional reception space. French doors to the right offer an exit to the garden. At the front of the kitchen is a door to enter the back of the garage. The gas central heating system boiler, feeding the water tank upstairs, is mounted in the garage.

First Floor

Guests move upstairs to discover a wide landing area that has doors leading off to all bedrooms, the family bathroom and a cupboard housing the hot water tank. Above the landing is a hatch to access a large, insulated loft.

The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and features a plethora of wardrobe space fitted at either side of the room. Two windows to the front provide plenty of natural light. At the rear of the bedroom there is a door to access an en suite shower room. The en suite comprises of a double shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin, toilet, and tiling to the splashback areas.

Bedrooms two and three are positioned at the right hand side of the house at the front and rear respectively. Between these two double bedrooms is a Jack & Jill en suite that is of exactly the same size and specification as the en suite to Bedroom One. The fourth and final bedroom is also a double bedroom and is positioned at the rear left of the house, including a built in wardrobe. 

The family bathroom is another pleasant suite that includes a long bathtub, pedestal wash basin, and toilet. The suite is complemented by decorative tiling to the lower half of the wall space.
