THE PROPERTY

Occupying a superb corner plot at the beginning of Leafenden Avenue in Burntwood, this fabulous dormer bungalow will delight all viewers with its incredible space, brilliant presentation and potential to extend / develop further. The property begins with a tarmac driveway with block-paved edging to provide off-road parking for four cars with ease. The driveway continues midway past the house and is flanked by lawns with trees and a short retaining brick wall. In addition, viewers will immediately note the garage which, once inside, stretches an incredible twenty-nine feet in length and therefore can store two further cars.

Viewers will make their way into the home via the main front door into a decent length porch that is ample for guests to remove coats and shoes. A further door leads into the lounge, the largest room in the house. The lounge can comfortably fit a large family sofa suite to be positioned around the gas fireplace where there are fittings above for a television to be mounted. French doors to the rear of the lounge lead into to the dining room that is ideal for a six-seater dining table. There is a wide-opening, double-glazed sliding door with side window that not only accesses the garden patio but also allows plenty of light into the dining room and lounge.

Toward the front of the lounge is a doorway through to very nicely presented kitchen that includes a breakfast bar to the front, underneath the window. It’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed. Other features of note in the kitchen are the electric oven, four-burner gas hob with overhead retractable extractor fan and a one-and-a-half bowl ceramic sink with drainer. Spaces are available for a fridge-freezer and dishwasher (with plumbing). There is also tiling to the splashback areas and wood effect laminate flooring.

A door at the rear right of the lounge leads to the inner hallway of the house where there are further doors to the utility room and ground floor bedroom, as well as a narrow storage cupboard. The carpeted bedroom is easily a double bedroom as it currently holds a king-sized bed and a large set of wardrobes with plenty of space to manoeuvre. A pleasing inclusion is the utility room which also features the wc for the ground floor. There is a stainless-steel sink and drainer and plumbing for a washing machine. From the utility there is an exit door into the aforementioned garage, which subsequently has a door leading out to the rear garden.

Moving upstairs, a short landing has doors off to the master bedroom, a stylish shower room suite and a storage room set within the eaves. The recently refitted shower room features a large walk-in double shower with a wash basin with cabinet and wc unit. There is a chrome heated towel rail mounted to the near wall as well as a handy storage cupboard making use of the void above the staircase. The master bedroom is a sensational size that will impress viewers. A large window to the front provides and abundance of natural light and double doors at the rear open towards to access a walk-in wardrobe. A further, almost secret, door at the far end of the wardrobe accesses the remainder of the eaves.

Finishing outside, the property comes with a brilliant-sized rear garden that wraps around the side of the house to a fence that meets the end of the driveway. The garden begins from the garage and dining room exit doors with a slabbed patio that is fenced around and features a low gate to enter the lawn area. The lawn covers the remainder of the garden with a wooden fence perimeter and evergreen trees and shrubs to the borders.
