House For Sale £285,000
The property
Tenure: Freehold
Located on a modern development in the Glascote area of Tamworth, this fabulously presented family home will impress all viewers. The property is positioned at the end of a row of terraces and holds a large corner plot that includes a garage that is detached from the house, and semi-detached with next door’s garage. The Property is set back from Southwick Drive behind a tarmac driveway that provides off-road parking for two vehicles plus an ample space within the garage.
Ground Floor
Viewers enter the house via the main composite front door into a large hallway with a gorgeous wood-effect tiled floor that continues to cover the entire ground floor. From the hallway there are doors leading to lounge, kitchen, and an unusually large guest WC with wash basin. There is also a handy understairs storage cupboard. The lounge is a terrific-sized reception room that features a bay window to the front ad two further windows to the rear that provide an abundance of natural light.
Arguably the best room in the house is the stunning kitchen. Not only does this room have a very attractive suite, but it is an excellent size and could easily hold a family dining table. The suite features classic grey facias with a lighter, granite work surface that includes drainage groves cut into it around the one-and-a-half bowl sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, wine cooler, five-burner gas hob and a chest height double oven. There is a space with plumbing for a washing machine and the central heating combi-boiler is concealed within the units. To the rear of the room is a set of French doors leading out to the patio.
First Floor
The carpeted, winding staircase leads up to a wide gallery landing with doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom, and another handy storage cupboard. Above the landing is a hatch to access the loft above.
The master bedroom is positioned over the lounge to the left of the house and features a matching bay window. To the rear of the room is an opening to a dressing area with wardrobe and access to an en suite shower room. The en suite features a shower cubicle perfectly fitted within a recess, a toilet, and a wash basin.
The remaining two bedrooms are positioned to the right of the landing, and, with the angled nature of the house, these are both very generous in size. Bedroom two is a double bedroom with bedroom three being a large single room. The final room in the house is the family bathroom that features a white suite with bathtub having mixer taps, a wash basin, and a toilet.
Garden
The rear garden of the property is as well presented as the interior with a superb, flagstone patio that has plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set and other desirable items. Good quality synthetic turf has been laid to provide a low-maintenance alternative to lawn with raised sleeper beds with pale gravel to the borders. The patio continues to a pavement around to the left of the house to a second patio area – such is the size of the plot - with a door to access the rear of the garage. Tall wooden fencing to the boundaries maintains privacy.

Transport links
Southwick Drive is located on a development off Blythe Street in Glascote, which leads off the Glascote Road (B5000). The Glascote Road is the link between Tamworth centre and Polesworth, passing through Glascote where there is a junction down to the A5. This makes ease for connecting to the M42 and A38 for commuting to places such as Birmingham, Lichfield, Nottingham and Nuneaton to name a few. Those who don’t mind walking will enjoy a 15-20 minute walk to the Town Centre & Train Station, depending on pace.
For trains, Tamworth railway station is a major split level platform station operating on both the West Coast Main Line and Cross Country Line. This provides excellent access to major cities within mainland UK such as Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Nottingham and Liverpool to name a few.
Bus users will be delighted that a regular circular bus service to Tamworth town centre has stops on Glascote Road. This service runs up at least five times per hour on weekdays. Many further destinations are then available from Tamworth to places such as Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Burton on Trent to name a few.
Schools & amenities
Parents will be delighted that, according to the Staffordshire Schools website, both catchment schools have a Good (2) rating from Ofsted. The secondary school catchment is listed as Landau Forte qems which is a 1.1 mile walk or drive away. The Primary School is a lot closer, as William MacGregor Primary is only 0.2 miles away. As with all areas, there are other local schools and it is highly recommended that you check with the local authority to confirm catchment.
Amenities wise, located up the Glascote Road is a petrol station with convenience store and Subway fast food outlet, with a Co-operative convenience store further up. For a larger shop, Tamworth has a plethora of supermarkets and retail parks which are all within a 5-10-minute journey - the closest being an Aldi, also on the Glascote Road
The Coventry Canal is a short distance from the property and provides more scenic walks. Tamworth is also home to the historic Castle as well as the Snowdome, Leisure Centres, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other places of interest.
