THE PROPERTY

Located on the sought after St Annes Close in Chasetown, this beautifully presented three bedroom family home is likely to prove very popular amongst viewers. The kerb appeal is strong as viewers could be forgiven for mistaking this for a four or five bedroom home! Extended from the original build, the current owners decided to go for larger rooms rather than extra rooms which, viewers will agree, was an excellent decision.

The property begins from the outside with a full-width printed concrete drive suitable for parking three cars, plus a further space inside the integral garage. The driveway continues to a pathway leading down the side of the property to a secure gate for access to the rear garden. To enter the home, viewers will first enter the porch which is a fabulous size for removing coats and shoes before entering the main hallway. Even at this stage, viewers will appreciate the superb presentation and space available in this home. This long hallway has doors leading off to the lounge and kitchen as well as the staircase to the first floor. Excellent use has been made of the space under the stairs as the owners have created a cupboard with double doors.

Taking the first door from the hallway leads viewers into a phenomenal reception room. This magnificent space stretches the full length of the house (over twenty-three feet) and incorporates the lounge and dining for the home and this is clearly marked by carpeted flooring to the front of the room and wood to the rear. Probably the most desired object in homes these days is here, a wonderful feature log burner fireplace that fits perfectly with the décor of the room. Despite the length of the room, natural light is in abundance as there is a large bowed window to the front of the lounge and French doors with side windows from the dining area to the rear garden. It is worth noting at this point that all windows throughout this home are double glazed and there is gas central heating.     

From the dining area, there is a second doorway to lead into the kitchen. This is a delightful suite that fuses traditional and contemporary styles. This is evident with the Belfast sink with classic mixer tap, a beautiful fitted dresser, integrated dishwasher, electric oven, four ring gas hob and overhead extractor fan. From the kitchen there is access to a welcome utility room that includes space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a tall fridge freezer. There are three doors from the utility room – one to the integral garage with large double doors for front access, one to the guest wc and one providing access to the side passageway.

Moving upstairs, the landing area has doors leading off to all three double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a handy storage cupboard, as well as access to the loft. The arrangement of the first floor has changed a lot from the original build and, I must say, very much for the better. To the front is a fabulous master bedroom which has a large window, plenty of space for wardrobes and other furniture and access to a stylish en suite shower room. The en suite includes a single shower cubicle, wash hand basin, toilet and towel rail.

Bedroom Two is immediately behind the master bedroom and is another generous double bedroom but this time with a large window looking over the rear garden. The third bedroom is a long bedroom that takes up the entire space of the extension over the garage and utility room. There is restricted head space in places but this takes nothing away from this being a fabulous-sized bedroom as the floor space stretches over twenty-two feet in length. Finally for the first floor is a magnificent, newly refurbished family bathroom with another very stylish suite that comprises a double shower cubicle, bathtub, wash hand basin, toilet and a heated chrome towel rail.

Finishing outside, no family home is complete without a lovely garden and this is no different. The rear garden begins with a lovely slabbed patio that spans the width of the plot before a delightful green lawn. The presentation of the garden is as high as that of the interior and there are shrubs to the boundary that provide a variety of colours and a wooden fence perimeter provides privacy.

TRANSPORT LINKS

St Annes Close is less than a 5 minute drive from the A5 between Muckley Corner near Lichfield and the Newtown crossroads near Brownhills. There are many suburban shortcuts which lead to other major routes away from Burntwood such as the A5190 to Lichfield and Cannock and the M6 Toll road for Stafford and Birmingham (M42).

For trains, a 20-25 minute drive (naturally longer by bus) to Lichfield provides two main train stations in Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with the latter offering fabulous commuting links due to its split level platform for the West Coast Mainline and the Cross City Line. This means there are regular services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Redditch as well as national routes to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even the occasional Glasgow service. Train services to Birmingham are also available from Cannock via the Chase Line.

For buses, the new owners can take a short walk to the junction between Highfields Road and Hight Street where there are stops for services to Burntwood centre (passing the leisure centre), Lichfield and Walsall, aswell as a morning service to Birmingham.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

The catchment primary school is the Ridgeway Primary School which is located just over a half mile away and also holds a Good (2) rating. Going one better with an Outstanding (1) rating is St Joseph & St Theresa Catholic School which is less than half a mile away. All the above information regarding schools has been researched using the Staffordshire schools website. We do always recommend that buyers check with the local authority first, before confirming catchment.

Near to the home at the end of Church Street is a footbridge that leads the new owners to Chasewater Country Park which is a lovely place for recreational walks, wildlife spotting and exercise routes. Also over the same footbridge is Burntwood Rugby Club.

Moving in the opposite direction towards Chasetown is junction where there is a Co-operative convenience store and the entrance to Chasetown Memorial Park.  A further walk over to Highfields Road will bring the new owners to the popular Miners Rest public house. Chasetown is also home to Chasetown FC, who famously reached the 3^rd round of the FA Cup in 2008.

North of the junction of Highfields Road and Church Street is the centre of Chasetown where there is a plethora of independent shops and businesses found along Queen Street and High Street. Even further up High Street is Burntwood Leisure Centre and right at the other end is Burntwood Shopping Centre at Sankeys Corner. Near to Sankeys Corner are two well-known supermarkets and a restaurant.
