THE PROPERTY

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band: B

Introduction & Exterior

This magnificent extended family home set with Cannock's Longford Estate will prove extremely popular to those seeking a long term home to a place that is ready to move into. Owing to the bend in Ascot Drive, the property is set far back from the road, and this has enabled the current owners to fence off a large section of the frontage to create a gorgeous private wildlife garden including pond. What remains is still a very good-sized attractive front garden with a printed concrete driveway that provides off-road parking for two cars, side-by-side.

Viewers will enter the home via a porch added to the front of the house, but beside this is a secure gate into the wildlife garden. The outdoor features continue as to the side of the house there is a wide area where the current owners have positioned a greenhouse and log store before arriving at the rear garden.

The rear garden begins with a flagstone patio that is surrounded by a picket fence, ideal for families with dogs. A gate provides access to the lawn which is surrounded by an array of flowers, shrubs and trees, the perfect place for adults to relax and children to play. Tall wooden fencing is erected to all boundaries.   

Ground Floor

Guests enter the porch where there is plenty of space to remove coats and shoes before making their way through to the hallway via a secure composite front door. The hallway is long, having doors leading off to the kitchen and utility room at the front, and the garden room, shower room and lounge at the rear. There is also a handy storage cupboard accessed to the rear of the staircase.

The kitchen has a lovely suite fitted to the front and right walls that will be appreciated by all viewers. A range of features is headlined by a gorgeous Belfast Butler sink with mixer tap fitted in front of the double-glazed window. Eagle-eyed viewers will note that the windows throughout (apart from the Lounge French doors and bay) are Grecian barred and they were replaced in 2019. The remaining features in the kitchen are the integrated dishwasher, chest-height double oven, five-burner gas hob and the large space available. The breakfast bar island and American-style fridge freezer shown in the photos are not included in the sale but give a great idea of how the space can be utilised. Finally for the kitchen, the gas central heating combination boiler is secluded at the front of the room, near to the entrance.

As mentioned at the top, the house has been extended and this is to the left of the ground floor where the utility room takes up roughly a third at the front and the garden room the remaining two thirds at the rear. The utility has a row of units mounted to the front of the room in front of a window looking out to the wildlife garden. Between these are spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An exit door is available to the side passage and plenty of space at the rear of the room for open storage. Skylights above provide extra natural light.

The garden room is a brilliant addition to the home and offers a space to relax as well as a place to dine. Three large windows allow the owners to look out to the garden and side passage, whilst a large corner skylight above provides an outstanding feature as well as more natural light.

Beside the garden room is the superb addition of a ground floor shower room. This delightful suite includes a corner shower cubicle, wash basin, toilet and a chrome heated towel radiator. Textured marble-effect tiling perfectly complements the suite.

The final room on the ground floor is the lounge. With dining space available in both the kitchen and garden room the lounge is a very generous space to be designated for relaxing. To the right of the room is the chimney breast which houses a wonderful multi-fuel burner fireplace with a sensational carved limestone surround. A large bay at the rear of the lounge features a set of French doors that open out to the patio.  

First Floor

Viewers make their way up the straight staircase with one final step to the right at the top to arrive at the landing. The landing is lovely and bright owning to a side window and has a hatch above to access the loft. Doors lead off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The family bathroom has an attractive suite with a large L-shaped bathtub with shower and screen fitted above, pedestal wash basin, toilet and another chrome heated towel radiator. Again, the suite is complemented by modern tiling to the walls.

Beside the bathroom is the largest bedroom, bedroom one. In here there is a range of wardrobes fitted to the far wall that feature bi-folding doors with a mirrored panel between that conceals the narrow chimney breast, with shallow storage space between. The remaining floor area is ideal for a king sized bed and further bedside furniture.

The remining bedrooms comprise of another double bedroom and a brilliant sized single bedroom, both at the front of the house. Bedroom two is currently used as a guest bedroom whereas bedroom three is a home office and has an open storage cupboard above the staircase void.
