House For Sale £700,000
The property
Introduction & Approach
Located to the southern side of Burntwood on Highfields Road, this remarkable hidden gem will absolutely delight all viewers. The house is set back behind a deep gravel driveway that provides off-road parking for multiple cars. The presentation of the frontage is enhanced by a retaining brick wall to the right with attractive shrubbery and rockery at the front. The driveway continues to the left of the building where there are double gates providing access to the rear and the possibility for further parking.
There is also an integral garage to the right of the main entrance to shelter another vehicle if desired. Viewers will take the main front door, positioned under a lovely timber storm canopy, to enter the home.
Ground Floor
As soon as viewers enter this home, they will immediately appreciate how deceiving the initial impressions of just how large the house is are. As there is no dividing wall or doors between the hallway and the kitchen at the rear, viewers can instantly see right through to the far end of the house where they will be aghast at what is on offer. The whole ground floor has underfloor heating with the controls in a room to the right where the boiler and rear entrance to the garage is located. Further doors from the hallway lead off to the lounge, office, and a guest WC with wash basin.
The lounge is an impressively large reception room positioned to the front left of the house with plush carpet laid underfoot and a feature bio-ethanol fireplace. Near opposite the entrance to the lounge is the home office which will be appreciated by buyers who work from home or that have children requiring a private study space. Naturally, this room could also be used as a playroom or home gym.
The jaw-dropping open-plan kitchen with dining is, arguably, the best room in the house. Three of the most prominent features are the tall, vaulted ceiling, wide set of bi-folding patio doors and a large central island unit. To the front of the room is a snug area, ideal for a sofa and entertainment unit with space for a large family dining table to the rear left of the room. To the right is the stylish kitchen suite that includes an induction hob, dishwasher, chest height oven with microwave and warming drawer and fridge freezer. The island unit includes the sink and drainer and also a cleverly positioned wine cooler. This really is the perfect area to entertain family and guests to complement the outside seating area – more on that below.
From the kitchen there is access to a utility room which in most homes would be a great size for the main kitchen! It mainly features hi-gloss units along the rear wall with a sink and drainer positioned in front window looking out to the rear garden. There are more units at the front of the room with space for a large American style fridge-freezer. The washing machine is cleverly concealed within the units.
First Floor
Moving up the winding, wide staircase to the left of the hallway leads to the first floor landing which forms a large L-shape and has doors leading off to four sizeable double bedrooms each with access to a shower room. The master bedroom is very impressive as it is the largest bedroom on the first floor, having a Juliet balcony looking out to the fields at the rear. To the front of the room are two doors with access to the en suite shower room and a deep dressing room which will be loved by viewers. The en suite comprises of a double shower cubicle, toilet with cabinet unit, wash basin with further cabinet below and fixed mirror above and a heated towel rail.
Bedroom two has access to the family bathroom that is in a Jack & Jill style with access form the landing also. Whilst on the family bathroom, this incredible suite features a free-standing oval bathtub with central taps, a corner shower cubicle, wash basin, toilet and tall chrome heated towel rail. The suite is perfectly complemented by fetching wooden panelling, traditional tiling to the shower splashback areas and large glossy tiles to the floor. Completing bedroom two is a fitted wardrobe.
Also having fitted wardrobes are bedrooms three and four which are positioned at opposite corners of the first floor. Both bedrooms have access to a stylish en suite shower room with shower cubicle, wash basin and toilet.
Second Floor
The staircase continues in the same position of the house as it rises up to the second floor to a vast open area that we have designated as the family games room. In truth it has a multitude of possible uses including a potential sixth bedroom. The games room has a window to the rear that has the best view of the rear (as included in the photos).
To the front of the games room is a door to access the largest bedroom in the house. Spanning the full width of the second floor, bedroom five has outstanding floor space along with two skylight roof windows to provide natural light. It serves well as an internal storage room as well as the ideal space for a teenager or young adult.
Outside
Of all the parts of this description, the rear garden is the hardest to put into words and really does require a viewing to be fully appreciated. It begins from the house with a marvellous seating area that fuses block-paving, gravel and wooden decking. To the right of the garden is a large, detached garage that serves perfectly a large shed and workshop. This is excellent potential for those wanting an outdoor entertainment room away from the house, as is very fashionable in recent times.
The garden then has a gentle slope as the lawn continues to the far end. To the right of the lawn, behind the workshop, is a charming vegetable patch with potting shed and a raised seating area for an even more private spot to enjoy the views of the rear. The whole garden is kept private by mature hedgerows and wooden fencing.

Transport links
Highfields Road is less than a five-minute drive from the A5 between Muckley Corner near Lichfield and the Newtown crossroads near Brownhills. There are many suburban shortcuts which lead to other major routes away from Burntwood such as the A5190 to Lichfield and Cannock and the M6 Toll Road for Stafford and Birmingham (M42).
For trains, a twenty-minute drive (naturally longer by bus) to Lichfield provides two main train stations in Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with the latter offering fabulous commuting links due to its split-level platform for the West Coast Mainline and the Cross City Line. This means there are regular services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Redditch as well as national routes to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even the occasional Glasgow service. Train services to Birmingham are also available from Cannock via the Chase Line.
Highfields Road is a great location for those that rely on a good bus service. From here the new owners can catch a bus to Burntwood centre (passing the leisure centre), Lichfield and Walsall, as well as a morning service to Birmingham.
Schools & amenities
According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment schools for this home are the secondary school, Erasmus Darwin, and Ridgeway Primary School (both at just 0.3 miles away). Parents will be delighted to learn that both schools hold a Good (2) Ofsted rating. We do always recommend that buyers check with the local authority first, before confirming catchment.
A little walk along Highfields Road will bring the new owners to the popular Miners Rest public house. At the end of Highfields Road begins Chasetown, where there is a plethora of independent shops and businesses found along Queen Street and High Street. Further up High Street is Burntwood Leisure Centre and heading in the same direction are famous supermarkets and a well-known fast-food restaurant. Chasetown is also home to Chasetown fc, who famously reached the third round of the fa Cup in 2008.
