Introduction & Exterior

This beautiful character home near to the centre of Tamworth has outstanding contemporary interior design that will be admired by all viewers. The house is set back from Upper Gungate holding an elevated position away from the road with mature trees and shrubbery secluding the home from passers-by. A wooden garden gate from the pavement accesses a winding path that rises to the main entrance to the house. A secure gated passage to the right leads to the rear garden.

The driveway for the property is to the rear, accessed via neighbouring Croft Street. An electronic rolling gate moves across to allow entry to driveway which is tarmac and comfortably holds two cars, with a gravel patch expanding the drive for an additional vehicle. Between the driveway and the house is a large lawn and wide slabbed patio. Beside the driveway is a raised decking area that has a pergola over.

To the left of the house is wooden structure attached that houses the utility / laundry room. This long room has a row of units with a wash basin and convenient spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer.  

Ground Floor

Beginning the walk-through from the front, guests approach the front door positioned underneath a storm porch and move through to a long hallway with a wide wooden staircase to the left that angles up to the first floor. Underneath the staircase at the far end is a welcome guest WC with wash basin, which also has a window opening to the utility room. Doors from the hallway open to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is at the front of the house and is a gorgeous classic reception room with a large bay window and signature open fireplace set into the chimney breast. The décor is tasteful, as it is throughout all of the house. It’s worth noting that the bay window is double glazed along with all exterior windows and doors. The property also has gas central heating.

As guests enter the kitchen, their eyes will be drawn to the fetching deep blue suite with contrasting wooden work surfaces, before attention will be immediately taken by the magnificent open plan family room with a terrific set of Bi-Folding doors that frame the view of the rear garden. The family room features a modern gas fireplace fitted into the chimney breast at the far left, and top quality LVT flooring laid underfoot. A door to the side opens out to the side passage.

The kitchen suite includes integrated appliances, and a range oven set within a perfect recess. The appliances are a dishwasher, fridge freezer and a sliding bin store. Angled in the corner are a set of tall double doors that open outward to access a fabulous walk-in pantry.

First Floor

Guests make their way up the angled staircase to a wide landing space that has a large glass window to the side, providing an abundance of light. From the landing there are doors leading off to four impressive bedrooms and the family bathroom, and a hatch above to access a large, boarded loft with skylight.  

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house to the right side, directly above the lounge, therefore there is a continuation of the wide bay window. At the rear of the room is a sliding door to access a stylish en suite shower room that has a shower cubicle with storm shower, chrome heated towel radiator, a wash bowl atop a mounted wooden shelf unit, and a toilet. Sleek grey tiling complements the suite perfectly.

The remaining three bedrooms comprise of two fabulous double bedrooms at the rear of the house, and an excellent large single / small double bedroom beside bedroom one at the front.

The final room in the house is the trendy modern family bathroom that has an L-shaped bathtub with shower and angled screen fitted above, wall mounted wash basin atop a drawer unit, backlit mirror, heated towel rail and a luxury smart toilet with bidet. The suite is perfectly complemented by stone effect tiling to the walls.
