Tenure: Freehold
EPC Rating: C ** Council Tax Band: F ** Rear Garden Orientation: North-East
Situated within the popular, modern St. Matthews development on the eastern edge of Burntwood, this magnificently presented executive home will prove extremely popular to families seeking a long-term move. The property holds a prime position on Cheshire Close as it backs onto open countryside with beautiful views, as shown in the pictures.
The property is set back from the road behind a double width driveway that precedes a 21 foot-plus tandem garage with fob-controlled electric shutter door. The driveway is flanked by low maintenance shale patches and a laurel bush. A secure gate to the right of the garage opens to access the rear garden and viewers will begin their visit by entering through the composite front door.
Ground Floor
The ground floor begins with an entrance hallway that is a generous size, setting the tone for the rest of the home. From here there is a winding staircase leading up to the first floor that has a low-level storage cupboard underneath. Doors lead off to the kitchen, snug, a large lounge and a guest WC that includes a wash basin. The lounge is positioned at the front of the house and is a terrific space for relaxing. It includes a lovely bay window at the front and a second window to the side that ensure the lounge is naturally well lit. The room also includes plush carpet and an attractive fireplace with electric fire.
The snug is a more intimate lounge space to the rear of the house that was originally designed as a dining room. It also has a carpeted floor with French doors leading through to the final reception room. Due to the solid roof that has been added to conservatory, it has become the third reception room that the current owners have designated as the dining room to take advantage of the beautiful garden and countryside views whilst dining.
As well as a further set of French doors leading out to the garden, the dining room has access to the utility room and the kitchen. The utility room features a stunning wide Belfast sink set within storage units that include a space with plumbing for a washing machine. Furthermore, there is a door from the utility room into the rear of the garage. The garage features wood effect flooring throughout and makes a superb area for storage as well as a home gymnasium if desired. The gas central heating boiler is mounted withing the garage.
The final room on the ground floor is the kitchen. This large L-shaped room has a lovely modern suite with cream facias and durable, thick wooden work surfaces. Incorporated within the surfaces are two ceramic sinks; one positioned in front of the double-glazed window looking out to the garden and a second, smaller sink to the front of the room, ideal for food preparation. Set within the units is a range of integrated appliances including the dishwasher, chest-height oven and grill, five-burner gas hob and microwave. There is also a clear recess for an American-style fridge-freezer.
First Floor
Viewers will immediately note the gallery landing whilst making their way up the winding staircase. From the landing there are doors leading off to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. All four bedrooms are double rooms with bedrooms two, three and four all featuring built-in wardrobes and carpeted floors. The family bathroom is a stylish suite that comprises of a bathtub with shower fitted over, chrome heated towel rail and a large corner unit that features cabinets, drawers, the wc and an attractive bowl-style wash basin.
The master bedroom will delight viewers as it is a fabulous wide open, carpeted space that has a wooden panelled feature wall at the far end. Similar to the lounge below, the bedroom as windows on two aspects and is very bright. There is a range of fitted wardrobes at the rear of the room and beside this there is a door to a fetching en suite shower room. The en suite includes a curved shower cubicle, a chrome heated towel rail and two wood-effect units that feature the wc and another bowl-style wash basin.
Rear Garden
This beautiful home is perfectly complemented by a magnificent rear garden. It begins from the dining room French doors with decorative block paving that expands to the left to provide a patio area for an outdoor furniture set. There is an outdoor light mounted above the kitchen window with a water tap and power points located nearby.
From the patio the garden continues onto a lawn that slopes down to the rear boundary. Growing from the lawn are three mature trees as well as a shortened fourth that provides a charming rope swing. The borders include attractive plants with sleepers fitted to the upper left of the garden. Wooden fencing is erected to both side boundaries. Sparse hedgerow and iron fencing at the far end of the garden provide security along with the ability to view the gorgeous fields to the rear. Deer have been spotted in the rear fields and we have included some photos taken by the vendor at the end of the advert.

Transport links
Cheshire Close is located on the outskirts of the St. Matthews Development, on the eastern side of Burntwood. Being on this side of Burntwood makes it easy for reaching nearby Lichfield by taking either the A5190 or the rural Abnalls Lane via Chorley. The A5 junction at Muckley Corner is within a ten-minute drive away to the south and there are various local short cuts to get to destinations such as Cannock Rugeley and Brownhills.
The nearest Train Stations are located in Lichfield. These are Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley. Both lead to Birmingham New Street with the latter having split-level platforms to also provide services via the West Coast Main Line leading to London Euston and Liverpool Lime Street.
The nearest active bus stops to the property are around a 15-minute walk away on the A5190 Lichfield Road. These provide regular services to Lichfield, Cannock, and Walsall.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment schools are Fulfen Primary School which is less than a mile walk and Erasmus Darwin Academy which is 2.5 miles away. Both schools have attained the rating of Good (2) from Ofsted in their latest assessments. Although we have taken the time to research this information, it is recommended that parents make their own enquiries.
