Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: C ** Council Tax Band: D

Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this semi-detached home will prove extremely popular to larger families seeking lots of bedroom and reception space. It holds a fabulous position on a quiet road to the west of Lichfield, near to Eastern Avenue and a short walk from the picturesque Stowe Pool.

The house is set back from Fecknam Way behind a long tarmac driveway where there is comfortable parking for four cars, with an attractive shrubbery border at either side. The driveway precedes the integral garage which has double-opening wooden doors to access and ample space for a car. A personnel door at the rear of the garage opens into the utility room.

To the left of the house is a secure gated passage to lead to the rear garden. This delightful and private outside space has been lovingly maintained for years to result in a mature garden full of attractive flowers and shrubbery. It includes both a wooden storage shed and a potting shed. Also included is a patch of lawn and patio, and the privacy is maintained by wooden fencing to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guest enter the home from the front via a porch that has ample room for removing coats and shoes before a second secure door opens to the hallway. A shallow closet is immediately available to the left inside the hallway for storage. Beyond this is the staircase that leads in a straight fashion up to the first floor, and two doors that open to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is a terrific reception room that is naturally very bright, owing to the large double-glazed front window. The lounge has a chimney breast with a real flame gas fireplace set within. The floorspace is brilliant for a family sofa suite and entertainment to be positioned. At the rear of the lounge is a set of double bi-folding doors that open to the even-larger dining room.

As there is a single storey extension, the dining room has been lengthened and at the far end there is set of sliding patio doors to exit to the garden, and a single door to the left to access a lovely garden room, where the owners can relax whilst observing the garden wildlife. A further door provides an exit from the garden room to the patio.

To the left of the dining room is the kitchen, where the segregation is provided by the kitchen units, as opposed to a wall. Therefore, those seeking open plan living can achieve this by solely changing the kitchen suite. The kitchen in place is certainly more than adequate as it features a range of fully functioning appliances such as a dishwasher, microwave, oven & grill, refrigerator and a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor. A one-and-a-half-bowl stainless-steel sink with drainer is set within the units in front of the kitchen window peering through to the garden room. To the left of the kitchen is a door to access the utility room.

As mentioned above, the utility room has a personnel door to access the garage at the rear. It also has a low level cupboard making use of the understairs area, a door to a WC, and an exit door to the aforementioned side passage. There is a row of units with a space for a tumble dryer, and the central heating combi boiler is mounted above. The WC also features a counter with sink and drainer set within and a space with plumbing for a washing machine underneath.

First Floor

Guests make their way up the carpeted staircase to discover an angled landing with plenty of wall space for hanging artwork or family photography. From the landing there are doors to access all four bedrooms, the family shower room and a separate WC with wash basin. Above the landing is a hatch to access a boarded and carpeted loft that has natural light provided by a skylight. This provides an excellent storage or hobby area, if desired.

Of the bedrooms, three are generous double rooms with the fourth being a single bedroom that can be just as well utilised as a home office. The three double bedrooms all include fitted wardrobes and a large double glazed window.

The family shower room is very stylish, comprising of a walk-in shower cubicle with storm shower and secondary adjustable head, a large wash basin atop a curved storage base unit, a row of storage units, chrome heated towel radiator and a toilet. This is in addition to the first floor WC next to the bathroom, meaning there are a total of three toilets in this home.

Transport links

Fecknam Way is a quiet cul-de-sac off Brownsfield Road, off Eastern Avenue which is a one of Lichfield’s perimeter roads, navigating around half the circumference of Lichfield, and therefore providing good access to the A51 north for Rugeley & Stafford, and the A38 south for Birmingham, and north for Burton and Derby.

There is a regular half-hourly bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located on Eastern Avenue. The bus station provides links to all of the above destinations as well as places beyond Lichfield to the west including Walsall, Brownhills, Burntwood & Cannock.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located within walking distance of Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. Here there are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

Schools & amenities

With Lichfield being one of the smallest cities in the UK, the majority of homes are within walking distance to the centre, where there are plenty of famous and independent stores. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements. The beautiful Stowe pool is around a ten minute walk away and is a popular spot for runners and those who enjoy fishing.

Near to the property on Eastern Avenue is the Imperial Retail Park which includes supermarkets, home store, a gym and a popular coffee chain. Lichfield is home to many supermarkets including a Waitrose and late opening Tesco Extra.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Netherstowe High School which is less than a half mile walk from this home. The catchment primary school is listed as Charnwood, although there is history of catchment being accepted at nearby Scotch Orchard. Although we have researched this information, we advise parents to confirm catchment via the local authority.
