THE PROPERTY EPC Rating: D  **  Council Tax Band: E Introduction & Approach This is a superb opportunity to purchase a large, detached bungalow with impressive grounds on outskirts of Aldridge near to Streetly. The property is set back from Erdington Road behind a long tarmac driveway with a lawn and tree to the left side that enhances the initial presentation. At the top of the driveway there are steps rising to a block paved frontage leading to the entrance porch and continuing round to the left of the building where there is a gated side passageway to the rear garden. The property comes with a spectacular rear garden that rises away from the house to quite a distance. The initial part from the side passage is a seating patio beside the exit door from the kitchen. Paving continues around the rear of the lounge to the beginning of the garden path that runs alongside the first of two large lawns. At the centre of the first part of the lawn is a decorative wooden bridge that cleverly conceals the access to the septic tank underneath. There is attractive shrubbery and flowers along the front, left and rear of the first lawn. The second lawn continues all the way to the end boundary and has four trees planted within. Between both lawns is a slabbed area of patio with two wooden sheds positioned to the left-hand side. It truly is the ideal garden for those who enjoy gardening and those who like to entertain family, young and old. Bungalow Interior The entrance porch is an ample space for guests to remove coats and shoes before moving through a second main entrance door into the hallway. The hallway has been opened to the right side where there is the first of two generous reception rooms, the dining room. The hallway continues to the left where there are doors to both double bedrooms and a modern wet room. The main bedroom is at the front of the house and features a raised bay window to the front. The second bedroom is a long double room that features a built-in wardrobe at the front of the room and a double-glazed window to the left, overlooking the patio. It’s worth noting that all windows are double-glazed. The wet room feature a curtained shower, toilet, tall chrome heated towel rail, a wall mounted wash basin with storage drawer, mirrored cabinet, an electric shaving point, and a tall corner storage unit. Naturally there is waterproof flooring, and the walls feature attractive cladding. The dining room also features a raised bay window to the front with open views, and there is a gas fireplace with brick surround. At the far end of the dining room there is a door through to an even bigger reception room, the lounge. The lounge is a wide-open space that is naturally bright owing to the sliding patio doors at the rear of the room. Two further doors branch off from the lounge for the kitchen and study. The kitchen features a fairly modern suite that incorporates a chest height oven with grill and a four-ring gas hob. There is a space within the units with plumbing for a washing machine. Beside the exit door to the side patio is the Worcester combi-boiler that provides gas central heating to the home. At the opposite corner of the lounge is the study. Currently utilised as a storeroom, this long narrow room is ideal for anyone who works from home. NB - ROOM SIZES ARE SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. UTILITIES The property is serviced by mains electric, gas and water. Drainage is provided by a septic tank.
