Introduction & Exterior

Located in Kettlebrook, a short journey from Tamworth Town Centre, this Victorian terraced home will prove ideal to First Time Buyers and those seeking a place with character. The property is approaching 150 years old, having been built in 1879, with the current owners having enjoyed calling this home for over forty years.

As with many properties of the era, the house is built just off the pavement with a storm porch preceding the main front door. Parking is on street with further spaces available on Orchard Street. The rear garden is access from Orchard Street via a secure gate with right of way access provided to the neighbouring property, should they need to access their windows which face this garden.

The garden itself is very charming and is a delightful place to relax, particularly in the summer months. It comprises of a slabbed patio with a lawn further along at a lower level. These areas are surround by attractive shrubbery, with tall wooden fencing and brick walls to the boundaries. A large wooden shed is positioned at the bottom of the garden which will remain as part of the sale.

Ground Floor

As guests enter the home they are immediately brought into a long hallway which has plenty of room for guests to remove coats and shoes. Immediately of note is the tall ceiling, typical of the Victorian build. From the hallway there are doors off to the lounge and dining room, as well as a handy storage cupboard under the staircase.

Both the lounge and dining room are excellent reception rooms, with the latter spanning the full width of the house. Both have protruding chimney breasts that have been blocked off, as well as a double glazed window. In fact, all rooms throughout the house have the benefit of double-glazing. At the front of the dining room there is a door to access the staircase to the first which begins angled and then remains straight to the top. Also from the dining room is an opening to the kitchen at the rear of the house.

The kitchen has a fitted suite that features a one-and-a-half-bowl composite sink fitted into the laminated work surface in front of the window peering out to the garden. There are plenty of spaces between the wood-effect units for all required kitchen appliances. A door to the left of the kitchen opens to angled steps lowering to the garden.   

First Floor

Guests make their way up the staircase from the dining room to a corridor landing that has doors leading off to both bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a hatch above to access the loft, fitted to an even higher ceiling (9’7) than that on the ground floor.

Both bedrooms are double rooms with the front ‘master’ bedroom being particularly impressive. As with the reception rooms, each bedroom has a blocked off chimney breast and double-glazed window. A handy storage cupboard utilising the void above the stairwell is available from bedroom one.

As houses of this era were not built with bathrooms, the family bathroom would have originally been a third double bedroom and is therefore a terrific size. The space has been well used with the suite comprising of a modern walk-in shower cubicle with storm head, long bathtub with adjustable shower head, pedestal wash basin, and a toilet.
