Introduction & Exterior

This remarkable detached home in the Dosthill area of Tamworth will impress families seeking great-sized rooms and a house that is perfectly presented both inside and out. The house is set back from Ascot Drive behind a full-width, decorative block-paved driveway that can fit three cars side-by-side. The main composite entrance door is recessed to the centre of the house underneath a storm porch. The door was replaced along with entire attractive slate double glazing throughout the home. Just beneath the kitchen window to the left is an outdoor tap, perfect for those who like to keep their cars clean!

To the left of the house is a secure gated passage that leads to the rear garden, passing the exit door from the kitchen on the way. The rear garden is really impressive as it is an excellent-sized space for the family to relax and to entertain guests. The garden begins with a slabbed patio and area of raised decking that are both laid immediately behind the house, with an outdoor power supply fixed to the wall beneath the lounge window. This continues to an expanse of lawn laid across the centre of the garden before a fabulous second area of decking has been constructed that includes an outdoor bar and another power supply. A large wooden shed completes the garden features. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home into a long hallway that is ideal for removing coats and shoes. The hallway sets the tone for the rest of the viewing as it is tastefully decorated with good quality, wood-effect flooring laid underfoot. Doors from the hallway lead off to the kitchen, dining room, lounge, and a guest WC that includes a wash basin.

The kitchen is the first door to the left and includes a fitted suite with integrated electric oven with four-ring gas hob and overhead extractor fan. There are clear spaces available for a washing machine (with plumbing) and an American-style fridge-freezer. As mentioned above, a door near to the rear of the room opens to the side passage.

On the opposite side of the hallway to the kitchen is the dining room. This room was converted from the garage and is now a long reception room with a bar fitted at the rear of the room. Behind the bar there are two low level doors to the storage area created from the void beneath the staircase.

The final room on the ground floor is the carpeted lounge that spans the full width of the house. A set of French doors open out to the garden patio and, along with an additional window, allow plenty of natural light into the room. There is plenty of room for a sofa suite to be positioned around an entertainment unit to the left and centre of the room. As the room was originally intended for dining to be included, there is an area by the staircase to the first floor that is currently utilised as a study.

First Floor

Viewers arrive at the top of the winding staircase at gallery landing with a window to the side. There is access to a large loft above and doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The family bathroom has been recently refitted to an outstanding suite that is perfectly complemented by marble-effect tiling to the walls and floor. The suite includes a long bath with shower and screen fitted above, a wash basin atop a storage cabinet, toilet, and a heated towel radiator. Near to the entrance of the bathroom is a closet holding the hot water tank. This tank is fed by a system boiler secluded within the kitchen suite.

All three bedrooms are doubles, with the most impressive being the master bedroom at the front of the house. The master includes a row of built-in wardrobes and access to its own en suite shower room. The shower room features another modern suite, which comprises of a shower cubicle, wall mounted wash basin atop a drawer unit, toilet and a chrome towel radiator.
