Introduction & Exterior

Located around a ten-minute walk from Lichfield city centre, this fabulous extended home on Boley Lane will prove very popular to families seeking a long term move. The house holds an elevated position from Boley Lane with steps leading up between a tall retaining wall to reach the front garden and main entrance door.

The parking for the property is at the rear of the house where a driveway for one car precedes a single garage. This is accessed off Boley Close and is the second in on the part of the block. A secure gate at the end of the garage block provides entry to the rear garden of the property. It has been landscaped with decking bordering an area of synthetic lawn and having flower beds created from sleepers. In all this creates a relatively low maintenance area to be enjoyed by the whole family and to entertain guests during the warmer months.

At the far end of the garden is a door to access the rear of the garage. The initial area is an extension that is built around the rear of the neighbouring garage to create extra storage or even a workshop area. It could also be used a home office. It opens to the right to the main garage which can easily hold a car and has a manual up and over door to enter from the driveway.

Ground Floor

Beginning from the front door, guests enter a long porch that has been opened with the kitchen and features a row of units matching the main suite. The porch is long and wide and provides plenty of space for guests to remove coats and shoes.

The kitchen is a good sized room that has the suite fitted to the front and left walls. It comprises of cream hi-gloss facias and contrasting wood-effect work surfaces. Integrated within the units is a four-ring gas hob, chest-height double oven and a dishwasher. There is a secluded space with plumbing within the units available for a washing machine at the front of the kitchen, and then space for a fridge freezer at the rear of the porch. An attractive set of double doors open inward to enter into the lounge.

Upon entry to the lounge, viewers will note that the fabulous wood-effect laminate flooring laid in the kitchen continues into this very generous reception space. The ground floor has been extended twice to include a separate section at the rear of the lounge and then a wide conservatory. This offers plenty of options for positioning furniture for both relaxing and dining. The lounge includes the staircase leading up to the first floor landing that has a very nice glass balustrade. The current owners have segregated the right side of the extension for a study, whereas the left side remains open and is where the bi-folding doors open to the conservatory. The conservatory spans close-to the width of the house and has a self-cleaning glass pitched ceiling. French doors from the conservatory open out to the garden decking.

First Floor & Attic Room

Once at the top of the stairs, viewers arrive at landing with a large modern light fitting and a continuation of the glass balustrade. Doors lead off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Above the landing is a pull down hatch with a fixed folding ladder for easy access to the loft. The loft has been upgraded to included carpeted boarding, plastered walls and two skylight windows to provide great a storage / hobby area.

Back on the first floor, the bedrooms comprise of two double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom. The largest of the bedrooms is at the rear and has been labelled as bedroom one, whereas bedroom two is used as the master bedroom by the current owners as it has a row of fitted mirrored wardrobes. The single bedroom has plenty of space for a single bed and wardrobe whilst there is a cupboard at the front of the room that houses the central heating boiler.

Finally for the interior is the family bathroom. This includes a pleasant suite featuring a bath with shower fitted over, toilet, and wash basin atop a storage cabinet.
