THE PROPERTY

Available with No Upward Chain, this semi-detached home located south of Great Barr in the Hamstead area will greatly impress families seeking a long-term move. The property is set back from Walcot Drive behind a pleasant front garden and tarmac driveway with a porch offering an entrance to the home at the side. The porch has easily enough space for guests to remove coats and shoes before moving through a second secure door into the hallway.

The layout of the ground floor sees the kitchen positioned at the front of the house and lounge to the rear. Originally there was a garage to the left rear of the house but this has been superbly opened through to create a long dining room and make the lounge a large L-shaped double reception room. The flooring is of a high-quality wood-effect laminate and there is a delightful feature gas fireplace to the far right of the lounge. A wonderful set of French doors lead from the dining room out to the raised deckling and a tall, double-glazed door leading out to the patio from near the fireplace in the lounge.

The kitchen suite is equally as impressive with it spanning the full width of the house and including a range of base and wall mounted units with roll top work surfaces. Set within the suite are integrated appliances that include a five-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan, chest-height electric oven, and a fridge and freezer. There is also a breakfast bar and access to an understairs storage cupboard toward the rear of the room.

Moving up stairs, the open landing area has doors leading off to all three bedrooms and a smart family bathroom suite. There is access to a well-insulated loft space above and viewers will immediately note the stylish steel spindles set withing the wooden banister. The family bathroom is a clean white suite that includes a shower fitted above the bath, wash basin, toilet and – just out of the photo – a chrome heated towel rail. This is all complemented by attractive monotone tiling to the walls.

The bedrooms comprise of two double rooms and a generous single bedroom that has a folding door to maximise the space available. The double bedrooms both have a built-in wardrobe with the smaller of the two having an extra, deep storage cupboard above the stairwell. The largest bedroom is positioned at the rear and has a lovely view over the garden. It’s worth noting that all windows in this home are double-glazed with most having the capability of folding inwards for greater security.

Finishing outside, the house comes complete with an incredible rear garden that is as well presented as the interior. As mentioned above, there are two exits from the house that lead onto a decoratively slabbed patio and a raised decked seating area. The majority of the remainder of the garden is covered by lawn with beautiful plants and shrubs laid to the borders and a tall wooden fence boundary. There is also a wooden shed placed to the far left corner of the garden.
