For Sale2 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Wellington Drive, Cannock, WS11£210,000

THE PROPERTY Tenure: FREEHOLD EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band: B Introduction & Exterior This sensationally presented home in the Longford area of Cannock will prove extremely popular to small families, single occupants and those looking to join the property ladder. The house holds an elevated position from Wellington Drive behind a block-paved driveway of double width for two cars and faces attractive greenery where there is a children's park a short distance away. Beside the driveway is a small strip of lawn with rockery to enhance the initial appeal. Guests will enter the home by stepping up and into the entrance porch, whereas there is a second door to the right to enter the sheltered side passage. The passage leads past the kitchen and utility to an exit door out to the rear garden which is relatively low maintenance and very private. It includes a decorative patio laid around the house extension that offers plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set. A raised level to the rear of the garden has areas of gravel and white synthetic lawn surrounded by potted shrubs and tall wooden fencing to the boundaries. Ground Floor After entering through the porch, which is ample for removing coats and shoes, a second secure door opens into the hallway. The hallway has a door to the lounge to the left, a carpeted staircase to the first floor immediately to the right and a low level storage cupboard making great use of the area under the stairs. Viewers will be delighted with not only the space available when they enter the lounge, but also the quality of the wood effect flooring laid underfoot. As the ground floor has been extended to the rear, dining has been moved out of the lounge to make this first room very generous for its sole purpose of relaxing the family. It stretches the whole length of the original build. As chimney breast is positioned in the centre of the building and therefore the gas fireplace is flush to the wall at the right. An opening at the rear of the lounge accesses the fabulous dining room where a six seater dining table can fit with ease. There is a set of French doors opening to the rear garden. A door to the right of the dining room opens to arguably the best room in the house… an outstanding integrated kitchen with breakfast area. Another long room, the kitchen includes a superb deep navy suite fitted to the rear and right of the room, offering plenty of storage, work space and integrated appliances. These include a fridge freezer, chest height double oven, four-ring induction hob, and a dishwasher, with the stainless steel sink and drainer positioned in front of the window looking out over the garden. At the front of the room is a breakfast bar and a shallow cupboard to meet further storage needs. As mentioned above, the kitchen has a door linked from the sheltered side passage and from here there are further door to another storage cupboard and a utility room. The owners informed us that the utility room was one of the deciding factors around buying this home and it’s not hard to see why as it offers good storage and a has plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The owners have recently replaced the part of the flat roof over the utility room where it meets the side passage. Viewers will be delighted to learn that the roof on the rear extension is pitched with roof tiles applied. First Floor Viewers make their way up the staircase to a bright landing owing to the large side window. This short corridor has access to the loft above and has doors leading off to both bedrooms, the family shower room and the cupboard housing the ‘Worcester’ branded gas central heating combination boiler. Both bedrooms are generous double rooms with the larger of the two being the master at the front of the house. The master has two windows that have a lovely view over the greenery opposite. A range of fitted wardrobes have been added at the far side of the room that, although large, still leave plenty of space for a king-sized bed and dressing table. A cupboard with folding door makes excellent use of the void above the stairwell. Bedroom two is a smaller but still great-sized double bedroom that includes a wardrobe fitted to the rear right. It has a window to look out over the rear garden. Last but certainly not least is the superb family shower room. This modern suite include a walk-in shower with glass screen and storm shower head, a toilet, a cabinet with wash basin atop, and a chrome heated towel radiator. The suite is complemented by attractive stone-effect tiling to the walls.   NB - ROOM SIZES ARE SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
