Introduction & Exterior

This fabulous extended home on the Glascote Road, near to the centre of Tamworth, will prove extremely popular to families seeking lots of reception space, good-sized bedrooms and excellent outdoor space. The latter is due to this house holding an end plot adjacent to Basin Lane and therefore having a large area to the side where the current owner has constructed a large workshop. This offers potential for a large extension, subject to planning permission of course.

The house is set back a good distance from Glascote Road behind a long tarmac driveway and large patch of gravel. This provides off-road parking for many vehicles, perfect for buyers that own both work and personal vehicles, or families where the children are young adult drivers. The tarmac driveway ends at a manual up-and-over door to access an integral single garage. Beside the house to the left is a fence with a set of double opening gates, and behind this is a gap of a few feet before further double doors open to the workshop.

The property comes with an impressively large and private rear garden that is mostly laid to lawn with a large shed positioned on a concrete base in the far right corner. At the front of the garden is a fenced off patio area that is perfect for seating and barbecues. A set of French doors open from the patio to the rear of the workshop.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into a roomy porch area that has plenty of space for removing and storing coats and shoes before a second secure door opens to the main hallway. The hallway is wonderful bright area for welcoming guests, owing to the light coming through the landing window and a set of glass panelled French doors opening to the lounge. Doors to the left and right of the hallway open to the guest WC with wash basin and a personnel door to the garage, respectively.

The lounge is an outstanding reception room that comfortably holds a sofa suite, dining table and entertainment unit. The current owners have also managed to fit a desk for studying / working from home. The flooring is of good quality wood-effect laminate (also found in the hallway). The size of the lounge owes much to the kitchen extension at the rear of the ground floor, from which there is a door at the rear of the lounge to access. A wide sliding patio door with window at the side of the lounge accesses the workshop, providing an exit to the garden.

The kitchen has a delightful modern suite that features wood-effect units with contrasting dark roll-top work surfaces, complemented by trendy metro-tiling around the cooking area. Integrated within the suite is a fan-assisted oven, five-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan, dishwasher and a stainless-steel one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer. The sink is fitted ahead of a wide window with a lovely view out to the garden. There are clear spaces within and around the suite for a washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer and bin storage.

The workshop is a sensational space that has been constructed over a slabbed patio base and allows for vehicles and other large items to be brought in from the front gates. There is power and lighting available with windows on each wall to provide natural light. For those not in need of a workshop, the area provides potential for a large two storey extension, subject to planning permission of course.  

First Floor

Guests make their way up the staircase from the dining room to lovely bright landing from which there are doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family wet room. Above the landing is a large pull-down hatch with folding ladder to access the loft space which offers excellent additional storage. The loft features boarding in part which has been raised as to not affect the thick insulation installed.   

The bedrooms comprise of two double rooms positioned to the right of the landing, with a long single / narrow double bedroom at the rear of the house. The master bedroom (beside bedroom three) is particularly impressive at almost sixteen feet in length. A narrow chimney breast is seen in bedroom one that offers a recess perfect for wardrobe space. This is a continuation of the blocked chimney found in the lounge.

The wet room features a modern suite with black easy-wipe cladding applied to the walls. The suite comprises of a chrome heated towel rail, corner wash basin, toilet and an electric shower with curtain that closes around the floor drain. Behind the door to enter is an airing cupboard that houses the central heating combi-boiler.
