Introduction & Exterior

This wonderful family home in close reach of Chasewater Country Park and with both primary and secondary schools in close walking range will prove very popular. The house is set far back from School Road behind a tarmac driveway for two cars to park in tandem and potential for more on the low maintenance gravel front garden. Guests will enter the home to the side where there is a double-glazed porch offering plenty of space to remove coats and shoes.

As well as a door leading into the house, there is a third door to exit the porch directly out to the rear garden patio. This slabbed area expands around the side and rear of the house to provide an abundance of space for the new owners to position lots of garden furniture. A short brick wall segregates the patio from the lawn which covers most of the floor space with a decorative patio in the centre and attractive borders for shrubbery. The whole garden is kept private by tall wooden fencing to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the hallway from the porch with doors leading off to the lounge and kitchen, as well as the staircase to the first floor immediately ahead. At the rear of the ground floor is the lounge which is a vast reception room with two windows and a door facing out towards the garden. There is access to a handy understairs storage cupboard at the front of the room.

The lounge was originally designed for hold dining however the previous owners converted the garage to create a welcome dining room that could also be used as a home office or playroom. This room is accessed via an opening from the kitchen. In the kitchen there is a fitted suite that features an electric oven and four-burner gas hob integrated within the units. There is also a clear space for a washing machine (with plumbing) and a fridge freezer. The central heating boiler is mounted on the wall in the kitchen.

First Floor

The carpeted landing has doors leading off to all three bedrooms the family wet room. Viewers will be delighted with the sizes as there is a very large bedroom at the rear and two further bedrooms at the front, with neither able to be considered as a ‘box room’ – these are two generous singles or small doubles. The master bedroom has two windows looking over the rear garden.  

The bathroom has been converted to a wet room, due to the needs of the previous owners. It is a long room that features a shower, waterproof flooring, wash basin, toilet, and a chrome heated towel rail.

TRANSPORT LINKS

School Road is less than a five-minute drive from the A5 south of Norton Canes and Junction T6 of the M6 Toll Road at Burntwood. These makes journeys to Birmingham, Cannock, Lichfield and Stafford very easy.

For trains, a twenty-minute drive (naturally longer by bus) to Lichfield provides access to two main train stations. These are 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, which is closer to the home.

Bus users will be delighted that the Cannock to Lichfield service passes nearby along Burntwood Road.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Parents will be very happy that this home is within such short walking range of the catchment primary and secondary schools, Norton Canes High School (on nearby Burntwood Road) and the Primary Academy (on School Road itself). All the above information regarding schools has been researched using the Staffordshire school’s website. We do always recommend that buyers check with the local authority first, before confirming catchment.

Chasewater Country Park is a very short walk from the home and is a lovely place for recreational walks, wildlife spotting and exercise routes. At the junction with Burntwood Road and Brownhills Road, there is a selection of local businesses and a convenience store with car park, however this is well within a reasonable walk.
