THE PROPERTY

Available with no upward chain, this link-detached family home in Great Barr will prove very popular to those seeking a traditional home with a large plot. The property begins with a driveway that gently roses away from Peak House Road to provide off-road parking for two cars. In addition, there is an outstanding long garage with wooden double doors that provides further parking whilst also offering utility room or workshop space. Beside the driveway is a pleasant lawn with feature shrub in the centre to enhance the kerb appeal.

Viewers will enter the home via a short porch that is ideal for removing and storing coats and shoes before moving through a second secure door into the hallway. The long hallway features wood-effect laminate flooring and the carpeted staircase leading up to the first floor. Underneath the staircase is access to a handy storage cupboard with an automatic light and the delightful feature of the original cold slab. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the lounge, dining room and the kitchen.

The lounge and dining room are both excellent reception rooms that feature gas fires set onto the chimney breasts. Between the two rooms there is a wide set of sliding doors to create either a large through double reception room or two private rooms. Both the lounge and dining room have a bay with the lounge at the front having a bay window and the dining room at the rear having a tall bay with a double-glazed door and side windows. The kitchen features a wooden suite with stainless steel sink and drainer with undercounter spaces for appliances. A door to the side leads out to the garage with a subsequent door at the rear of the garage leading out to the rear garden.

Moving upstairs, a fairly spacious landing area has doors leading off to three fabulous bedrooms that include two large doubles and a generous single bedroom. The master bedroom at the front of the house is the largest of three and features a bay window to the front matching the one in the lounge below. There is also a bathroom suite that includes a shower fitted above the bathtub, a wash basin, toilet and handy storage cupboard.

Finishing outside, viewers will be amazed to discover a sensational rear garden that is very long and has plenty of options for relaxing and entertaining. The majority of the garden is covered by plush lawn with attractive flowers and plants to the borders. There is a wooden storage shed at the front near to the garage exit door and a fish pond positioned opposite to the front-right. A large patio is located at the far end of the garden, spanning the full-width in two sections. Secluded behind a row of greenery beyond the patio is a greenhouse and summer house with a small patch of lawn, perfect for children. The garden is flanked by wooden fencing and mature hedgerow to provide privacy.
