Important Information Regarding Probate

At present the property is going through the process of probate which the family is not yet in receipt of, and we are not yet aware of an estimated date of return. We therefore advise that any mortgage buyers refrain from applying for their mortgage until the probate received / close to being received.

Introduction & Exterior

Available with no upward chain, this fabulous period home in Wilnecote will prove extremely popular to First Time Buyers and those seeking a two-bedroom property with generous bedrooms, lots of reception space and large private garden.

The property holds an elevated position, set back from Hockley Road behind a delightful front garden with a picket fence boundary. A block paved path leads to the wood-effect PVC front door and down the side of the property to a secure gate that opens to the rear garden. We believe that the neighbouring property to the left has a right of way via a blue gate to the rear of the house to be able to remove their garden waste.

The rear garden begins with a yard area that has a continuation of the block paving laid alongside the kitchen and the utility room. The garden continues beyond the yard to a gravel patch with attractive shrubbery placed around ending at a large garden shed. Behind the shed is a wide area of decking before a long area of mature shrubbery and lawn continues until the end of the garden offering potential for keen gardeners to have an impressive space for entertaining or relaxing. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.   

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home into a fabulous lounge that sets the tone for the fabulously presented home. The tasteful décor includes a feature wall of designer wallpaper, wood-effect flooring and bespoke fitted blinds. All chimney breasts throughout the home are blocked off with the lounge having the first example of this.

A door to the rear of the lounge opens to the second reception room, the dining room, which is a similar size to the lounge but has an extra recess created underneath the staircase. In here there is plenty of space for a six-seater family dining table whilst leaving space for sideboards. A window to the rear of the room has a view of the rear yard and a door beside this accesses the kitchen.

The galley kitchen features a modern suite fitted to each side wall with a lovely retro glass fronted cabinet mounted high to the left wall. To the right side of the room, a one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer is positioned within the units. A clear space is available for a gas cooker. At the rear of the kitchen is an opening to the utility room, where there is space for a fridge freezer and under counter space for a washing machine and dishwasher or tumble dryer. An exit door to the rear yard is found at the front-right of the kitchen.

First Floor

The staircase to the first floor is found at the front of the dining room and rises to a corridor landing from which there are doors leading off to both double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The largest of the two bedrooms is found at the front of the house, following the same footprint as the lounge by spanning the full width of the building. A row of fitted wardrobes have been installed to the full length of the right hand wall, secluding the chimney breast in the process and leaving a vast open space for the remaining bedroom furniture. Bedroom two is another generous bedroom that includes a built-in storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the staircase.

The bathroom is the same size as the kitchen below, which is fairly sizeable for a bathroom! The suite includes a long bathtub with shower fitted over, a pedestal wash basin, toilet and a storage cupboard housing the central heating combi-boiler. The walls have attractive wipe-clean cladding applied.
