THE PROPERTY

This fabulous period home in Heath Hayes will appeal to first time buyers and those looking to downsize whilst still residing in a spacious home. This is due to the house comprising of six large and tastefully decorated rooms – two reception rooms, two double bedrooms, a galley kitchen and the ground floor bathroom. Parking for the property is on-street and the new owners will more often than not be able to park outside the front of the house on the quiet street. There is a short front yard behind a gated low brick wall which viewers pass through on their way to the front door.

The first room that the viewers enter is the dining room. This is the smallest of the two reception rooms by just five inches in depth and is a generous room to fit a family dining table whilst providing plenty more room for other furniture. As with the lounge and the two bedrooms above, the dining room features a protruding chimney breast that only adds to the character.

The door to the rear of the dining room leads to a short inner hallway that has access to the understairs storage cupboard and a second door through to the lounge. The floor of the lounge is of wood-effect laminate, continuing from the dining room. The lounge is easily enough to hold a family sofa suite and entertainment unit. As well as the door into the kitchen, the lounge also has a double-glazed exit door to the rear passage and a door to access the staircase to the first floor.

Viewers will love the galley kitchen which is a very long room with the stylish hi-gloss suite fitted along both walls. The only space without a unit fitted is to the front left of the room that is ideal for a fridge freezer. There are under-counter spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. The integrated appliances include a fur-ring electric hob with overhead extractor fan and a low-level electric oven. The kitchen is also home to the gas central heating combi-boiler, which is mounted high on the left wall.

Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom. The bathroom is surprisingly long and features an L-shaped bathtub with a shower and screen fitted above. This clean white suite is completed by a wash hand basin and toilet. Moving upstairs from the lounge, the first floor solely comprises of two double bedrooms with a short landing in between. The bedrooms are exactly the same sizes as the reception rooms below and are therefore generous double rooms. The main difference between the two is that bedroom one at the rear of the house has a large, fitted wardrobe. As with the rest of the house, the large windows in the bedrooms are double-glazed.

Finishing outside to the rear, the rear garden is as well presented as the interior and makes for a delightful space to relax and entertain, particularly in the summer months. It begins from the lounge exit door with a slabbed passage the widens to cover the majority of the floor space. There is a carpet of artificial turf to add a splash of colour to the garden with a combination a light walls and grey wooden fencing to maintain privacy. There is a wooden shed at the far end of the garden and a secure gate to the left to access the front without passing through the house.
