Introduction & Exterior

This beautiful period home in the hamlet of Newtown, near Great Wyrley, will prove extremely popular to First Time Buyer and those looking to Downsize to a home that is ready to move into. This home will also be very attractive to gardeners as it comes with a remarkable long rear garden that has a bit of everything… more on this shortly.

Beginning at the front, as with most period properties the house is built right to the pavement and therefore parking is on street. With there being neighbouring properties that have driveways, in the unlikely event that the owners are not able to park directly outside their house, there is always an option to park close-by. The composite front door opens directly into the dining area and to the right of the door is a secure gated passageway through the building that is for communal use, having a further gate to access the rear garden.

The rear garden begins with a slabbed patio that, as the photos depict, is perfect for an outdoor furniture set. To the right of this is a brick built outdoor storage shed. The garden continues for an impressively long way with a path that runs down the entire left hand side. It comprises of a stretch of lawn, gravel seating area, a second lawn, allotment with greenhouse, garden sheds, an area where there is currently chicken run positioned, plus more! Attractive flowers, trees and shrubs are found at the borders of each area. The garden is kept private by tall wooden fencing and hedgerow to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

As viewers enter the home, they will find a large open plan living area that is superbly presented and sets the tone for the whole viewing. It comprises of two original receptions rooms that have been opened through to create one large room with dining at the front and a lounge at the rear. Perfectly complemented by the décor is a magnificent wooden floor that viewers will love. At the front right of the room is the carpeted staircase leading to the first floor, with the wonderful addition of a guest WC underneath accessed from the lounge area. Windows to the front and rear of the room are double-glazed, as are all windows in this home.

A door at the rear of the lounge opens to the stylish kitchen that features a deep blue suite with contrasting thick wooden work surfaces. A lovely ceramic sink with drainer is set within the work surface, positioned in front of the window looking out to the garden. Integrated within the units is a double oven with an induction four-ring hob and an overhead extractor fan. There are clear spaces available for a washing machine and fridge-freezer. The suite is finished with brick-effect glossy tiles to the splashback areas and an exit door to the patio is found at the rear right.

First Floor

As guests make their way upstairs, they arrive at a landing with doors leading off to both bedrooms and the family bathroom. With the passageway running between the buildings to the right of this house, the rear of the ground floor expands to the right making way for a great sized family bathroom that features trendy décor including fabulous zebra print wallpaper upon entry. The bathroom suite comprises of a P-shaped bathtub with shower and curtain fitted above, a pedestal wash basin, toilet and a chrome heated towel radiator.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles with the largest of the two being positioned at the rear of the house. Bedroom two at the front has a storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the stairwell and houses the gas central heating combi-boiler.

RIGHT OF WAY

In the rear garden, just beyond the patio to the left, is a gate for neighbouring properties to pass through the garden to reach the communal passage through the buildings to reach Long Lane. This is common for properties of this type and period.  

TRANSPORT LINKS

Long Lane leads from the A34, which is a useful road for driving towards Cannock & Stafford to the North and Walsall & Birmingham to the South. Alternatively, travelling north will bring you to junctions with the A5, M6, M6 Toll and subsequently the M54, meaning that commuting and travelling for leisure could not be more convenient.

The nearest train station is Landywood, located between Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay. The station offers services to Birmingham New Street, Walsall, Cannock, Bloxwich & Rugeley via the Chase Line.

Buses services are available from the A34 Stafford Road (at the end of long lane). These services provide access to Walsall, Cannock, Wolverhampton & Birmingham.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Although there are local convenience stores and public houses in nearby villages, a drive north via the A34 to the outskirts of Cannock will bring you to the Orbital Retail Park with many familiar named shops including a Sainsburys supermarket. Slightly further up the A460 is the MacArthurGlen Designer Outlet.

Being rural there are plenty of local walking opportunities but those wanting something a bit more special can drive 15-20 minutes north to reach Cannock Chase, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment schools for this home are Great Wyrley Academy (1.6 miles) and Landywood Primary School (0.5 miles), although it is always recommended that prospective buyers do check with the local authority directly before confirming catchment.
