The property
Tenure: Freehold ** EPC Rating: E ** Council Tax Band B
Introduction, Approach & Exterior
Built during the reign of King William IV in 1833, this wonderful part of Tamworth history is available to purchase with no upward chain. The property is part of a semi-detached building set back from Quarry Hill behind a short, gated pathway and front garden.
Due to the age of the property, it was built without the consideration of the owners having a motor vehicle and therefore there is no driveway or off-road parking designated. There is however a free public car park, a short walk away on Quarry Hill on the opposite side of the road that has 24/7/365 access.
To the left of the property is gated access to a side passage and a short rear yard where there are two outbuildings; a detached brick-built storage shed and a WC that is connected to the rear of the kitchen. Mounted on the wall within the WC is a gas central heating combi-boiler that has been regularly serviced by the owner.
Beyond the yard is a surprisingly large rear garden that is mainly lawn with mature shrubbery and trees obscuring wooden sheds at the far end. A pathway leads along the right border of the lawn and there is wooden fencing to the boundaries.
Ground Floor & Cellar
Viewers enter the home via the main front door into a large open plan living space with four separate areas: The lounge, dining room, kitchen, and study area. The study is immediately ahead of the entrance and offers room for a desk to be positioned in front of a bowed window. It is also where there is an opening to the staircase leading up to the first floor.
The lounge is the largest room on the ground floor and attention will immediately be drawn to the brick-built fireplace that currently has an electric, log burner-effect fire in situ. To the left of the fireplace, viewers will spot the intriguing feature of an iron-fronted bread oven. Naturally this is out of use but is an eye-catching feature, further demonstrating the period of the build. To the left of the lounge is an opening to the dining room which is ample for a six-seater table and is newly carpeted.
To the rear of the lounge is an exit door to the rear yard with an opening to the kitchen beside. The kitchen features a pleasant suite with plenty of storage and workspace. There are clear spaces for washing machine and fridge with an integrated electric oven and four-burner gas hob in place.
To the left-centre of the lounge is a wooden door that provides access down to the cellar. With a curved ceiling that has a peak height of 5’8, the cellar is a great space for storage that has the cold slabs still in place.
First Floor
The first floor comprises of two bedrooms and superb bathroom suite. Providing access to these is the landing which, along with the staircase and bedrooms, has been newly carpeted in the same style as the dining room.
Bedroom One is positioned directly above the lounge and follows a similar footprint and is therefore a very good-sized double bedroom. Bedroom Two is a long single bedroom that is very generous. The new owners will easily be able to position a single bed, wardrobe, and other desired furniture.
Last, but not least, is a marvellous family bathroom. The bathroom is such a brilliant size that it allows for a classic, freestanding bathtub, as well as a tall corner shower cubicle. Furthermore, there is a large rectangular wash basin mounted upon a cabinet, a toilet, and a chrome heated towel rail.

Transport links
Quarry Hill is part of Watling Street, formerly the A5 before it was rerouted to the dual carriageway it is today. A short drive east leads to the A5 with a junction at either side of a bridge giving great access to the M42 junction 10 and toward Tamworth town and the A38 in the west.
There is a regular bus service to Tamworth Town Centre located on Quarry Hill, as well as a daily return service to Birmingham (X16). Eagle-eyed viewers will spot the bus stop located outside the front of the property. From Tamworth Town Centre, there are two main bus stations with services to many local destinations including Nuneaton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, and Burton on Trent to name a few.
Around a mile to the west on Watling Street is found Wilnecote Railway Station offering a service to Birmingham New Street & Tamworth as part of the Cross-Country line which also leads to Nottingham & Derby. Tamworth Railway station offers commuting links to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even Glasgow.
Schools & amenities
According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment schools for this home are all within a half mile walk. These are Wilnecote High School (0.2 miles), Wilnecote Junior School (0.2 miles) and Heathfields Infants School (0.4 miles). Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
A short drive away west along Quarry Hill/Watling Street will bring the new owners to a roundabout junction from which there are many well-known businesses and stores including Morrisons, The Range, McDonalds, and diy outlets, as well as an industrial park containing many local businesses.
Slightly further afield is found Ventura Retail Park containing a range of famous brand stores and restaurants. Tamworth is also home to the historic Tamworth Castle, the Snowdome & Leisure Centre, Odeon Cinema, Ten Pin Bowling Complex and Tamworth fc.
