Introduction
Located on the outskirts of the Norton Canes in Staffordshire, this magnificent bungalow positioned at the far end of Butts Lane will greatly impress all viewers. Upon arrival, viewers will immediately note the block-paved driveway providing off road parking for at least three cars and a gate at the end of the road. This gate allows the owners access to the garage at the far end of the plot. The only other authority to use the gate is the emergency services to access the modern development, but only if the regular routes are blocked and therefore it is very rarely used by anybody but the owners and public footpath users. Guests will take the main front door to enter in the hallway.
Main Building & Annexe
Once inside, viewers will immediately understand this is a superbly presented and well-proportioned as they discover the wide hallway with space for sideboard furniture. From here there are doors leading off to the lounge, kitchen, family bathroom and both main bedrooms. There is also a handy cloaks storage cupboard near to the front door.
Both bedrooms are double rooms and have lovely plush carpet laid underfoot. Recently, the owners have had high-quality wardrobes fitted to both rooms. The larger of the two, Bedroom One, has a set of French doors that open out to the rear garden. Beside Bedroom One is a stunning Family Bathroom. This gorgeous suite features a blend of traditional and contemporary style features that include a free-standing bathtub, tall power shower (that even has telephone capabilities!), wash basin and toilet. The bathroom is also the first of three rooms that have underfloor heating.
The second room to have underfloor heating is the kitchen. This stylish room has a range of wall and base mounted solid-oak units fitted to the right and rear walls. The units are topped with attractive granite work surfaces. Incorporated within the units are a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, and there is also a wide space for a range oven, as displayed in the photos. The kitchen units also conceal the gas central heating combi-boiler.
At the far end of kitchen there is a stable door to access an incredible orangery. The main feature is clearly the full height glazing to the end wall of the house that allows an abundance of natural light. Other features in the orangery include underfloor heating, a log burner fireplace as well as a door leading out to the rear and a set of French doors leading out to the side patio. A second set of French doors lead internally through to the carpeted lounge that features a wide-open space for dining. Again, this room features a log burner fireplace, and it has a wide bowed window to make it naturally bright.
To the right of the main house is a room that has converted from the original garage to create an annexe that is ideal for those who live with an elderly or teenage relative. The annexe isn’t accessible from the main house but does have doors from the driveway and rear garden. Currently used a sewing room, the bedroom is easily a double and has access to its own en suite shower room with wash basin unit and toilet.
Rear Garden & Outbuildings
The land that comes with this home is one of its main selling features and the current owners have maximised the potential by creating a series of outbuildings and a large garage. As mentioned at the top, the garage is positioned at the far end of the plot and is a tall wooden structure with large double-opening doors to access from the road. There is also a single door for people to access from the far end and a gate from the garden.
The garden between the house and the garage is mainly lawn with a unique water feature and has fencing with mature hedgerow to the boundaries to provide privacy. Closer to the house is an attractive flagstone patio laid around the orangery to provide plenty of out seating options. This part of the garden is south facing and therefore the best area to capture the sun in the summer months. To the front of the orangery is a small patch of lawn with a tree and delightful rose patch featuring David Austin Roses as well as a wooden storage shed. A gate provides easy passage to the driveway.
At the rear of the house is arguably the most impressive area of the garden. With no expense spared, the owners have created a remarkable decking area that features a large bar with indoor and outdoor seating areas, a shelter for a hot tub, shed for storage, chrome water feature and home office accessed from behind the bar. Beside this seating area there is a further lawn with attractive shrubs to the borders and the owners have also created a secret fairy garden for their grandchildren.
