The property
Tenure: Freehold
EPC Rating: D ** Council Tax: D ** Rear Orientation: North-West
Introduction & Exterior
This magnificent four-bedroom detached home in heart of the ever-popular County Drive development in Fazeley, will be of significant to buyers seeking a long-term move. The property is set back from County Drive on a private driveway that allows access to three properties, with this home being in the centre of the three. There is plenty of parking in front of the property for at least two cars on the tarmac driveway, and potential for a third where there is currently a patch of lawn that enhances the pleasant initial appeal.
The property has access via a secure gate on the right-hand side of the house that leads to the rear garden. The passageway is easily wide enough to transport the wheelie bins stored at the rear.
The rear garden is a sensational space for relaxing, child’s play and entertaining family and friends in the summer. It begins with a deep slabbed patio that has plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set. Beyond the patio is a full-width lawn that has shrubs and trees to the borders and a wooden shed at the far corner. Viewers will be delighted to learn there is an outdoor tap positioned under the kitchen window. The whole garden is surrounded by tall wooden fencing to the boundaries.
Ground Floor
As viewers enter the home via the main front door, they discover a long hallway that has plenty of room for guests to remove their coats and shoes. From here there are doors leading off to the lounge, kitchen, and the integral garage. The garage is a long single garage with a manual up-and-over door to access from the front. Power and lighting are available in the garage.
The lounge is a fabulous reception room with a bay window at the front to allow plenty of natural light. It’s worth noting that all exterior window and door glass is double-glazed. A feature fireplace is mounted along the centre of the far wall and viewers’ attention will be drawn to the double sliding doors at the rear of the room that open to the dining area.
Arguably the best room in the house, the kitchen is open planned with the dining area to create a large room that is ideal for entertaining guests for a coffee and has all the integrated appliances that a buyer would want. These include hi-quality Neff branded four-burner gas hob and chest-height double oven. There is also an integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer, as well as a ceramic one-and-a-half sink and drainer.
A door to the far right of the kitchen has a door through to a matching utility room with a stainless-steel sink and drainer, spaces for a washing machine (with plumbing) and tumble dryer and a wall mounted gas central heating combi-boiler. From the utility room there are two further doors; one for a guest wc with wash basin and another to lead out to the garden patio.
The final room on the ground floor is an excellent conservatory that, due to its modified roof, feels more like an extension. The roof is an insulated pitched roof with a skylight roof window and a felt exterior surface. Two sets of French doors lead from the dining area into the conservatory, and from the conservatory out to the patio.
First Floor
The carpeted staircase from the hallway leads up to a right-angled hallway that has doors leading off to four generous bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a handy storage closet (originally the airing cupboard). There is also a hatch above for access to a large loft space.
The master bedroom is at the front left of the house and is a very impressive space for the new owners to position a king-size bed with ease along with bedside furniture. Wardrobes are taken care of with a wide built-in set of wardrobes at the rear of the room. Furthermore, at the front of the room there is access to stylish ensuite shower room that includes a curved cubicle, toilet, and wash basin.
The remining bedrooms consist of two generous bedrooms at the rear of the house that also include built-in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a home office but could easily be classed as either a small double bedroom or large single. The final room in the house is the family bathroom which is another stylish suite that includes a p-shaped bathtub with shower fitted above, wash basin and toilet.

Transport links
Tamworth is a superb location for commuters travelling around the East & West Midlands, with County Drive being well positioned in the centre (not to be confused with the Town Centre which is on the eastern side of Tamworth!) and near to main routes away from Tamworth.
Travelling South (Birmingham, Coventry & Coleshill) - The development is off the A4091 which leads south from Tamworth toward the Belfry and the M42 South (Junction 9) which is excellent for Birmingham, Coventry and Coleshill.
Travelling East & North East (Nottingham, Nuneaton & Hinckley) - To the east of Tamworth is the junction for the M42 North (Junction 10) for access to Nottingham. Beyond the junction, the A5 continues to Nuneaton & Hinckley.
Travelling West & North West (Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield & Cannock) - Travelling west on Watling Street leads to the Sutton Road at Mile Oak which links to Bassetts Pole for the A38 and Sutton Coldfield. The A5 at Mile Oak leads further west to Lichfield and the M6 Toll at Weeford for journeys to Cannock and the M6 North.
Travelling North (Burton-on Trent & Derby) – Travelling beyond Tamworth Town Centre leads to the A513 which goes beyond local villages and the National Memorial Arboretum to join the A38 North at Alrewas for Burton on Trent and Derby.
Trains - The best train station for commuters is Tamworth Railway Station which has split level platforms for both the West Coast Mainline (London Euston, Liverpool and Milton Keynes) and the Cross Country Line (Birmingham New Street, Nottingham and Plymouth). Wilnecote Train Station is not far away from the home on Watling Street and offers a less regular service as part of the Cross Country Line.
Buses - The A4091 at the beginning of County Drive has stops for a regular service into Tamworth Town Centre and to Kingsbury and Birmingham in the opposite direction. From the Town Centre there are two main bus stations where there are further bus links to towns and cities around the Midlands.
Schools & amenities
Viewers with children will be delighted to learn that both catchment schools are rated Good (2) by Ofsted with the Primary School, Millfield Primary being within a half mile walk to Fazeley. The secondary school catchment is listed as the Landau Forte (qems) located north of the town centre at 1.7 miles away, although there is a public bus service that local children use. Although this information has been checked with the Staffordshire Schools Website, as with all properties we advise that prospective buyers make their own enquiries with the local authority to confirm catchment.
Close to the home there is a row of shops on the Fazeley Road that include a Convenience Store and a Chinese takeaway outlet. At the junction with Watling Street there are even more shops and eateries as well as a Petrol Station and Barber shop. For a more involved shopping spree, the property within superb reach of Ventura Park which has supermarkets, restaurants and many famous brand stores.
By taking a short drive toward the town of Tamworth, the centre is home to the Snowdome, Leisure Centre, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other facilities. There is also plenty of local history, with Tamworth Castle being the most famous point.
