Introduction & Exterior

This wonderful home in Burntwood Green will prove extremely popular to First Time Buyers and smaller families seeking a long term move. The property has a delightful corner plot allowing for a garden wrapping around the front of the house along with a block-paved driveway for two cars at the side to access from Hudson Drive. A further driveway is found to the rear of the property for another car to park in front of the single garage.

There are secure gates from both driveways to access the generous rear garden. This fabulous outside space has a range of features including slabbed patios, lawn, a wooden shed, a greenhouse, and a lovely, decked seating area. Beside the kitchen exit door there is a brick built store. The boundaries comprise of a mixture of brick wall and wooden fencing.

Ground Floor

As viewers enter the home via the main side entrance, they are brought into a welcoming hallway that has plenty of space to remove coats and shoes. From here there is a door to the front of the house for the lounge, one immediately ahead of the entrance to the kitchen and the straight carpeted staircase leading up to the first floor.

The lounge is a very impressive reception room with two large windows to make this naturally very bright. There is plenty of room for a sofa suite and entertainment unit and the chimney breast at the far end of the room is blocked off with an electric fireplace mounted in front.

The kitchen has a stylish, hi-gloss white suite fitted with marble-effect laminated work surfaces. Incorporated within the units is an electric oven, four burner gas hob, cookerhood extractor fan and a one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer. At the opposite side of the kitchen is an open space that is perfect for a four-seater dining table to be positioned beside a large window to the side of the house. As mentioned above, an exit door opens to the rear garden and there is a deep storage cupboard to the front of the kitchen that makes good use of the area under the staircase.

First Floor

Moving upstairs, the landing area has door leading off to both bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a hatch above to access an insulated loft space.

Both bedrooms are double rooms, however bedroom one at the front of the house is particularly impressive as it shares the same footprint as the lounge below, spanning the full width of the house. As with the lounge, this bedroom has a large window at the front making it very bright.

Bedroom two is still a great-sized double bedroom as it includes a wide built-in wardrobe that is located above the staircase, freeing up space for a larger bed. The wardrobe houses the gas central heating combination boiler.

Finally, the family bathroom is an older suite that features a bathtub with shower and curtain fitted above, a pedestal wash basin, toilet, and a radiator positioned behind the door.
