THE PROPERTY

EPC Rating: Awaited  **  Council Tax Band: B

Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this beautifully presented period home in Wilnecote will be of high interest to first time buyers, small families and those looking to downsize to a home that is ready to move into. Immediately of note to viewers will be that the property is set back behind a block-paved driveway, and this provides off-road parking for a small car. As the property holds an elevated position, a set of steps matching the driveway lead up to the porch door.

The property comes with a fabulous long and private lawn at the rear of the house that has tall wooden fencing to all boundaries. This provides a fantastic place to relax, entertain family & friends, and a safe space for children to play. At the front of the lawn is a large garden store that has an electricity supply and therefore offers potential for a workshop of home office.  As with many properties of this period, there is a communal access pathway across the rear of the terrace, and this runs between the garden and the short yard immediately outside the rear exit of the house that has a gate to access. The yard features a water tap.

Ground Floor

Beginning from the front of the house, viewers enter via a bright porch that has plenty of space to remove coats and shoes before moving through a second secure door into the lounge. Even at this early stage, guests will appreciate that they have entered a well-presented home due to the tasteful décor including the feature fireplace and wood-effect laminate flooring.

The lounge is the first of two large reception rooms and a doorway to the rear leads to the second which is the dining room. At the front of the dining room is the straight staircase that leads up to the first floor. Again, there is a feature fireplace surround and wood-effect flooring. Each reception room is naturally well lit by a large, double-glazed window. It’s worth noting that all external doors and windows throughout this home are double-glazed.

A further door at the rear of the dining room opens to a galley kitchen that features a modern suite with integrated appliances. These include a chest height double oven, four-burner gas hob, and a low level fridge and separate freezer. Space is available for a washing machine and an integrated dishwasher. At the rear of the kitchen is a vestibule that has the exit door to the short yard, a small storage cupboard and a door to the WC. Originally the WC did include a shower and there is still space to add this. The existing suite includes a toilet, wash basin and storage cabinet.

First Floor

The first floor landing has a door of either side (front & rear) that open to a generous double bedroom, with both including an en suite. Bedroom one at the rear is that largest room with plenty of space for a king-sized bed and wardrobe furniture. The en suite from this room is a large bathroom that features a corner bathtub, wash basin and toilet. A tall cupboard at the front of the room houses the gas central heating combi boiler.

Bedroom two has had the rear part of the room converted to include its ensuite with the shower being housed in the recess above the staircase. The remainder of the suite includes a pedestal wash basin and a toilet. What remains in the bedroom is still a good-sized double room. Both bedrooms include continuations of the chimney breast from below with a beautiful original iron fireplace, which are now decorative.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Watling Street was originally a major route through Tamworth before the modern A5 was created, and therefor has excellent links to major roads. A short drive east leads to the A5 with a junction at either side of a bridge giving great access to the M42 junction 10 and toward Tamworth town and the A38 in the west.

There is a regular bus service to Tamworth Town Centre located on from Watling Street, as well as a daily return service to Birmingham (X16). Eagle-eyed viewers will spot the bus stop located outside the front of the property. From Tamworth Town Centre, there are two main bus stations with services to many local destinations including Nuneaton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, and Burton on Trent to name a few.

Less than a mile to the west on Watling Street is found Wilnecote Railway Station offering a service to Birmingham New Street & Tamworth as part of the Cross-Country line which also leads to Nottingham & Derby. Tamworth Railway station offers commuting links to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even Glasgow.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment schools for this home are all within a half mile walk. These are Tamworth Enterprise College (0.5 miles), Wilnecote Junior School (0.1 miles) and Heathfields Infants School (0.4 miles).

A short drive away west along Watling Street will bring the new owners to a roundabout junction from which there are many well-known businesses and stores including Morrisons, The Range, McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, as well as an industrial park containing many local businesses.
