THE PROPERTY

EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band: B

This large second floor apartment in northern Lichfield will prove extremely popular to buyers of all ages due to its wonderful size, presentation, and location. The property includes a single garage located in a separate block from the property and use of a communal garden at the rear from which there is a delightful view of Lichfield Cathedral.

We begin the walkthrough of the property from the front of the garden where the tree laden gardens to the front have a pathway from Garrick Road leading to the main entrance door and into a pleasant communal hallway with stairs leading up to the floors above and a rear passage leading past a storeroom through to the exit to the garden.

Entrance to this apartment is to the right of the top floor where there is a second door for a handy store cupboard that belongs to this apartment. Guests are brought into a generous hallway with plenty of room for storing coats and shoes as well. A theme throughout the apartment is natural brightness and the hallway is the first example of this with a double-glazed window.

From the hallway there is access to a large, lounge with wood-effect laminate flooring and a vast, full width window looking out over the rear gardens. There is plenty of room for a large sofa suite to be positioned around an entertainment complex and room for a small dining table if desired. To the front of the lounge is a door to a modern kitchen suite that has a range of wall and base mounted units incorporating a four-ring electric hob, electric oven and a one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer. There are spaces for a washing machine (with plumbing) and a fridge-freezer, and the gas central heating boiler is concealed withing the units.

The second door from the lounge leads to the inner hallway from which there are four further doors for the bathroom, two bedrooms and a handy, deep storage cupboard housing the hot water tank.

The master bedroom is positioned to the rear of the apartment, again overlooking the lovely garden, and features a set of built-in wardrobes. The floor space is wonderful as a king-sized bed, dressing table and drawers can be positioned with ease. Bedroom two is a generous single bedroom or small double (as depicted in the photos) and has a matching built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom has a modern, fully tiled suite that includes a bathtub with shower fitted over, toilet, wash basin and a chrome heated towel radiator.

Finally, a third door from the lounge opens to a spacious room with a window looking out to the rear. The flats are designed with large lounges to be able to support dining, so this room is best used as a third bedroom but could be designated as a home office or dining room.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Garrick Court is located a short drive from Eastern Avenue, which is the bypass serving the northern side of Lichfield. The nearest end of Eastern Avenue is the link to the A51 to Rugeley & Stafford. At the opposite end is the Trent Valley roundabout, giving links to the A5127 (for Lichfield City Centre & the A38 to Burton & Derby) and Cappers Lane toward the A38 for Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield.

There is a regular bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located from Eastern Avenue which is within easy walking reach via a footpath at the end of Garrick Road. The bus station provides links to much of the Midlands with services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Tamworth, Stafford, Burton-on-Trent, Cannock & Walsall amongst many more local destinations.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located a short drive from Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Being one of the smallest cities in the UK, one of the endearing benefits of living in Lichfield is that the City Centre is within a 30–45-minute walk, where there are plenty of famous and independent restaurants and shops. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches, and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements. Sharing the same name as this property, The Lichfield Garrick Theatre is named after another of Lichfield’s famous sons, the 18th Century playwright David Garrick.

The nearest supermarket is a large Morrisons store near to Beacon Park. Considering its size, Lichfield is also home to a surprising number of supermarkets including a Waitrose, Co-operative, Tesco Extra, Aldi & Lidl supermarkets. The nearest convenience store is located a short walk away at Swallow Croft.

Parents will be delighted with the quality and locality of the catchment schools. According to Staffs Schools website, these are the Friary High School (0.2-mile walk) and Chadsmead Primary (0.4 miles). Both schools hold a Good (2) rating in their latest Ofsted assessments – correct as of 30^th August 2023. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
