For Sale6 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Curborough Road, Lichfield, WS13£375,000

THE PROPERTY Tenure: FREEHOLD EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band: D  Introduction & Exterior This incredible and extended Lichfield home will prove extremely popular to larger families and in particular those living with an elderly or disabled relative. This is due to the garage being converted to generous ground floor bedroom with en suite wet room. The house is set back from Curborough Road behind a full-width block-paved driveway meaning that comfortable side-by-side parking is available for three cars. From the driveway, there is the option of opening the main front door to access the porch or taking the secure gate to the side passage that leads round to the rear garden. The garden is relatively low maintenance with an attractive combination of block paving, gravel, flagstone patio, and decking. The decking is laid behind the conservatory where there are stunning bi-folding doors that open fully making this a superb area for relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months. There are plenty of options for the new owners to position a range of outdoor furniture. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries to maintain privacy. Ground Floor The porch is lovely and bright and has plenty of room for guests to remove and store coats and shoes. A second secure door leads through to the hallway and it’s fair to say that even after these initial two spaces, viewers will appreciate that they have entered a very well presented home. From the hallway there are doorways leading off to the ground floor bedroom, lounge, and kitchen. Viewers will note the top quality wood-effect flooring laid underfoot and this contrasts with the carpeted staircase to the first floor positioned to the left. There is a void underneath the staircase that was a cupboard accessed from the kitchen and this could be opened up at the side should the new owners need further storage. As mentioned at the top, the ground floor bedroom is well suited to an elderly or disabled relative as it comes complete with an en suite wet room. The bedroom is a double room that has a wider door for entry, suitable for a wheel chair. Furthermore, there is a sliding door to access the wet room and this suite comprises of toilet, wash basin, adjustable electric shower, and a tall, heated towel rail. Opposite the entrance to the wet room is the door through to the lounge. This breath-taking double reception room has been opened up with the original dining room and has a further opening at the rear where there is fabulous addition of a large conservatory. The conservatory has a glorious self-cleaning glass roof and ends with the fantastic bi-folding doors opening out to the decking. To the left of the dining room is an alternative entrance to the kitchen. The kitchen is also extended to the left, behind the wet room, to create an impressive space with lots of work surface space and storage units. Set within the kitchen suite is a range of integrated appliances that include a fridge freezer, dishwasher, five-burner gas hob, oven, grill, and overhead extractor fan. There is also a trendy circular stainless-steel sink with matching drainer. At the far left of the kitchen is an opening to a utility room where there is more storage available as well as undercounter space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An exit door from the utility room leads out to the side passage. First Floor The first floor begins with an impressive, wide open landing area that offers doors off to all five first floor bedrooms and the family shower room. Above the stairwell is a waist-height cupboard for linen storage that house the Worcester central heating combination boiler. Above the initial landing is access with ladder to the first of two boarded lofts. An opening to the left where the extended part of the first floor is found has access to the smaller second loft, but without a fixed ladder. Bedrooms one and two are positioned at the right of the house and are both generous double rooms. Bedroom one is naturally the largest and includes a built-in wardrobe with sliding mirrored doors. Beside bedroom one is bedroom four which is currently used as a dressing room. If used as a bedroom, bedroom four is large enough to hold a double bed and wardrobe. Beside bedroom two is the family shower room. This attractive, modern suite includes a double shower cubicle with large storm shower head, a toilet, wash basin and a chrome heated towel rail. This is all complemented by trendy decorative tiling to the walls and floor. The remaining two bedrooms are in the extended part of the first floor. At the front is bedroom three, a double bedroom with deep recess at the rear ideal for a wardrobe. The smallest bedroom, bedroom five (as six is downstairs) is currently utilised as a home office. This L-shaped room is the only true single bedroom in the house and is suitable for a single bed and wardrobe unit.   NB - ROOM SIZES ARE SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
