Introduction & Approach

Located on a popular, modern development in Heath Hayes, this remarkable detached house on a corner plot will prove very popular to buyers seeking a long-term family home. The house is set back from the beginning of Condor Grove behind a newly resealed tarmac driveway that provides off-road parking for three cars, with an additional space available on the access slope.

Viewers will initially note the wide strip of land to the right of the house, and we are happy to disclose that the current owners have successfully applied for planning permission to have a double-storey extension. This planning permission has now expired, and the new owners would have to reapply, however we feel it is important to note that a successful application has been made in the past.

Guests will enter the home via the main front door uPvc front door into the hallway. It’s important to note that all exterior windows and doors are double-glazed. Much of the house has been refurbished over the past two years including a brand-new kitchen as well as plastering, new doors, and flooring throughout the majority.

Ground Floor

Once inside, viewers will immediately note the fresh carpet in the hallway and ahead to the staircase to the first floor. The carpet was laid in May 2022 and is therefore very plush. Taking the door to the right leads into the first large reception room, the lounge. This terrific space includes a feature gas fireplace fitted to the far wall and a deep bay window to the front. The room is solely designated for relaxing as a door to the rear leads into a fabulous dining room.

The dining room is the largest room in the house, comprising of what was originally the kitchen and separate dining room now opened through to one huge reception space. Laminated herringbone flooring is laid in the dining room, and this continues into the sunroom. Other doors leading from the dining room are for a ground floor shower room, an under stairs storage cupboard and a modern set of bi-folding doors to access a long sunroom.

The new kitchen suite is absolutely outstanding. It features white hi-gloss facias with soft grey granite work surfaces. There are a range of integrated appliances that include a five-burner gas hob with contemporary extractor fan above, two chest height fan-assisted ovens and a dishwasher. Beside the dishwasher there are two units to seclude a washing machine and tumble dryer. A large, curved island unit in the centre of the room includes more storage as well as a breakfast bar and wine refrigerator. A door to the side of the kitchen leads out to the gated side passage. Above the kitchen is a surprisingly large loft space. Furthermore, between the kitchen and dining room is an opening that is ideal for storing an American style fridge freezer.

The shower room features attractive floor-to-wall tiling with a curved shower cubicle, tall chrome heated towel rail, wash basin and toilet. There is also the gas central heating boiler secluded in a cabinet in the far corner of the room. The heating system is conventional, with this Worcester boiler feeding the hot water tank located in the airing cupboard upstairs. The boiler is around 5 years old and is service annually. A subsequent door from the shower room leads into the rear of the garage. This room is purely for internal storage and has been segregated from the remaining garage via a stud wall that can be easily removed. The garage door is still in place in the front section of the garage and is ideal for storing bicycles.

The final room on the ground floor is the Family. This fabulous long room was originally a conservatory but now has a solid, insulated roof and it stretches beyond the rest of the house and is an ideal place to relax whilst gazing out to the garden. A set of Bi-Folding doors open out to the patio.

First Floor

The first-floor landing is a short corridor leading from left to right that has doors leading to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom and airing cupboard. As with the ground floor, upstairs has been very cleverly extended to provide the new owners with four double bedrooms, each with a continuation of the plush carpet. The master bedroom at the front is a particularly large room with two windows to the front and a built-in sliding-door wardrobe.

Bedroom two features an initial area for wardrobes and a desk before narrowing to an area for a double bed with two windows looking over the rear garden. Bedroom three is another generous double bedroom with a range of built-in wardrobes at the rear of the room. Bedroom four is the smallest double and currently holds a large standalone wardrobe and single bed, however a double bed would easily fit with a smaller wardrobe.

The family bathroom is at the far right of the landing and is a lovely clean suite comprising of a wooden panelled bathtub with mixer tap, wash basin and a toilet fitted to the corner of the room. Above the first floor is a large loft that is fully insulated and has boarding along the centre.

Outside to Rear

Due to the size of the corner plot, the rear garden of this home is sensational, leaving viewers very impressed. It comprises of a slabbed patio that spans the width of the rear of the house before a recently built brick wall separates the patio from the lawn. The wall features lighting that makes this wonderful place to relax night and day, particularly in the summer. At the far end of the garden are three structures that will remain with the property: a pergola with Perspex roof for sheltered decking, a hot tub enclosure and a storage shed. The 7-seater hot tub within the enclosure will be included as part of the sale. To the right of the family room there is a newly built decking to create a quiet and stylish seating area. The whole garden is kept private by a combination of tall brick wall and wooden fencing.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Condor Drive is located off Meadow Way (linking off Heath Way) in Heath Hayes with is to the east of Cannock. Utilising local routes such as the A5190 and A460, the new owners can commute very easily by reaching the A5, M6 and M6 Toll for major towns and cities such as Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, and Stafford.

For trains, Cannock railway station is a mile and a half away, therefore around a five-minute car journey or twenty-five-minute walk. The station is on the Chase line which leads to Birmingham New Street and Rugeley Trent Valley, the latter being a connection to the West Coast Main Line for London & Liverpool (via Crewe).

Bus users will be delighted that the number 23 bus service between Cannock & Hednesford stops on Meadow Way, very close to the house. Service to major destinations around the West Midlands and Staffordshire are available from both Cannock and Hednesford.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the secondary school catchment is listed as Norton Canes High School which is 1.5 miles away (operating a school bus service) and the primary School is much closer, with Gorsemoor Primary being just a quarter mile away. As with all areas, there are other local schools and it is highly recommended that you check with the local authority to confirm catchment.

Amenities wise, the newest and most popular addition to the local area is the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet that opened in 2020 and is only a mile away from this home and therefore in walking range, or a very short drive. Here there is a blend of clothing and household brands as well as popular eateries. Even closer to home is a large Tesco supermarket, a stone’s throw from the property on the junction between Heath Way and Hayes Way.
