THE PROPERTY Tenure: FREEHOLD EPC Rating: Awaited  **  Council Tax Band: B Introduction, Parking & Exterior This remarkable period home near to Cannock Town Centre will be loved by buyers seeking character, space and close-by amenities. The house is set back from Victoria Street behind a short walled front garden that has a shared iron gate and pathway leading to the storm porch and front entrance door. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot the gravel driveway to the left which is really only suitable for a very small car. Vehicle owners will be delighted to learn that the on-street parking is permit controlled and that the current owners have recently purchased two annual permits at a cost of less than £50 each. The permits expire in October 2025 and are transferrable to the new owners. The gravel side passage has a secure gate that opens to the side yard which is also gravelled. This is a great area to position outdoor furniture and for entertaining guests. A conservatory protrudes from the building which forms a segregation between the yard and rear garden. The rear garden is elevated from ground level, having a retaining wall with steps to rise up to the lawn. Attractive flowers, tall trees and wooden fencing keep the garden pleasant and private.   Ground Floor Entering the home via the main front door, guest are immediately brought into a hallway that has the original and beautiful Minton tiling laid to the floor. Another lovely traditional feature is the stained glass above the door. From the hallway there is a door to the left to enter the dining room. Originally there was also a door ahead to directly enter the lounge, but this was blocked off to maximise the usable space in the lounge. This could easily be returned by the new owners, if desired. The dining room is positioned at the front of the house and features the lovely bay window looking out to Victoria Street. Viewers will immediately note the tall and decorative ceilings with picture rails to add to the character. Double opening doors at the rear of the dining room open to the largest room on the ground floor, the fabulous lounge. The lounge has corner windows that allow in plenty of natural light and a recessed gas fireplace. The chimneys for this house are external with the front chimney in the dining room being blocked off. The ground floor continues from the rear of the lounge where there is an inner hallway with the staircase winding up to the first floor and a door underneath featuring a staircase leading down to the cellar. The cellar is a usable space that includes a window and radiator, as well as the old cold slab. Back to the ground floor and from the inner hallway the next room is the kitchen. This gorgeous and traditional suite features a built in dresser to the right hand side with matching suite fitted to all walls, including granite work surfaces. Other features include a dishwasher, electric oven, five-burner gas hob and a sensational double Belfast sink with mixer tap positioned in front of the window to look out to the yard. At the rear of the kitchen is an opening to the rear hallway that has doors opening to the guest WC with wash hand basin, a utility room and French doors opening to the conservatory. The utility room features spaces for a washing machine, tumble dryer and an American-style fridge freezer. The conservatory has a polycarbonate roof, wood-effect laminate flooring and another set of French doors that open out to the yard. First Floor Viewers make their way up the winding staircase, passing a side window, to arrive at a long corridor landing. The landing has doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Right at the front of the house is the largest room in the house, the master bedroom. Spanning the full width of the house, this impressive bedroom is more than enough to hold a king-sized bed, wardrobe and dressing furniture and still a large space free in the centre of the room. Bedroom two is a smaller, but still generous double bedroom with corner windows similar to the lounge below. Bedroom three is at the rear of the house. It features a large built-in wardrobe with one half accommodating the hot water tank. The boiler feeding this tank is located within the kitchen units.    The family bathroom features an eye-catching suite that is befitting of the character of this home. A free-standing bath is complemented by a pedestal sink and a toilet that has a classic, high-level cistern. NB - ROOM SIZES ARE SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
