Introduction & Exterior

This lovely character home on an old, no-through road in the original village of Castle Bromwich will prove extremely popular to First Time Buyers and those looking to downsize financially, whilst still owning a generous-sized property. The house is set back from New Street behind a two-car driveway, which is extra attractive to buyers on a street where parking is at a premium. The front door opens to the porch whereas a secure gate to the right of the house opens through to the slabbed side passage that leads to the garden.

The garden begins with a long area of decking beside the kitchen and bathroom before stepping down to a private lawn with more slabbing and two wooden sheds. The boundaries are formed by brick wall and tall wooden fencing.

Ground Floor

Beginning from the front, the porch is perfect for guests to remove coats and shoes before continuing through a second door into the lounge. Originally this home will have comprised of two large rooms, each with a chimney for a fireplace / kitchen stove. However, the dividing wall has been removed to create a vast double reception room with glorious wooden flooring laid throughout. The rear chimney has been blocked whereas the front chimney has a beautiful, exposed brick arch with a multi-fuel (log) burner fireplace. This burner provides superb heat efficiency throughout the home during the winter months. The wooden staircase leading up to the first floor is located at the rear of the room.

Beside the staircase is a doorway to the galley kitchen which is an extension from the original build, along with the family shower room beyond. The kitchen features a range of units mounted to the left and right walls with spaces for a range oven (overhead extractor in place), fridge freezer and washing machine (with plumbing). Integrated within the units is a freezer, slimline dishwasher, and a ceramic sink with drainer and mixer tap. A door to the front of the kitchen opens out to the decking.

The family shower room includes a modern suite comprising of a walk in shower cubicle with electric shower and a combi-unit that features a wash basin, toilet, mirror with spotlights, and cabinets.

First Floor

The first floor features two large double bedrooms with a much needed first floor WC with wash basin positioned between them. All three rooms are accessed by doors from the landing. Above the landing is access to an impressive loft space with a pull-down ladder.

The master bedroom is at the front of the house and spans the full width of the building having two windows at the front to maximise natural brightness. The rear bedroom is also a generous bedroom that has recess beyond the stairwell where the central heating combi-boiler is mounted to the wall. A window to the rear has a pleasant view over the rear garden.
