Tenure: Freehold
EPC Rating: Awaiting Report ** Council Tax Band: C
Introduction & Exterior
This fabulous family home at the northern tip of Norton Canes will prove very popular to families seeking a long-term move. The house is set back from Burntwood Road behind an eye-catching block-paved driveway that has comfortable parking for two cars at the front with pleasant shrubbery to the borders. The kerb-appeal is enhanced by the modern slate-coloured double glazing that includes an attractive porch.
The driveway continues past the house via an expensive set of wooden gates ending at a deep detached garage, and therefore providing lots more off-road parking. The garage is over twenty-one feet in length and therefore makes an excellent workshop. A decent sized storage shed is attached to the rear of the garage with its own separate access beside a rear access door to the garage.
The garden for this home is outstanding and has far too many features to able to do justice in this description. It really does require a physical viewing. Areas of the garden include patio, decking, lawn, and gravel with plenty of decorative shrubs, trees and plants dotted around and with a tall wooden fence perimeter to maintain privacy.
Ground Floor
Guests enter the home via the extended double-glazed porch that has double doors at the front and a second secure door at the rear to access the hallway. There is plenty of space in the porch for guests to remove coats and shoes. The hallway features the carpeted staircase to the first floor on the left, with a handy storage cupboard underneath. From the hallway, there are further doors to access the double reception room and kitchen.
The double reception room was originally a separate lounge and dining room that has been opened through to make a vast room for relaxing and dining for the whole family. At the front is a curved bay window that allows plenty of natural light in, and the lounge also features a chimney fireplace. Please note that the current fire in situ is not included within the sale but does show off the attractive nature of this fireplace. At the rear of the room where dining is designated, the window that would have originally looked straight outside to the garden is still in place to allow the natural light from the sunroom.
The ground floor is extended at the rear to add the sunroom and allow for a larger kitchen. The kitchen immediately begins with a door to the left into a wc with wash basin before widening to the main suite. The suite features wall and base mounted units fixed to the left and far walls with an integrated double oven and four-burner gas hob, and space for a washing machine (with plumbing). There is space in the kitchen for a two-seater breakfast table, as shown in the photo, and there is a door to the right to access the sunroom. The sunroom is a wonderful space to relax with views of the garden, a vaulted ceiling with three skylights and French doors leading out to the patio.
First Floor
The carpeted landing has doors leading off to all three bedrooms the family bathroom and has a deep storage cupboard that makes excellent use of the void above the staircase. There is a window at the side of the staircase ensuring that the landing is lovely and bright.
The bedrooms consist of two similar sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom that can comfortably fit a bed and wardrobe unit. The largest bedroom is at the front of the house and features sliding wardrobes built around the chimney breast with fittings for a television on the breast itself. The second bedroom at the rear also has a range of fitted wardrobes and has delightful views over the garden and woodland to the rear.
The family bathroom is a good-sized space that includes a large corner bathtub and separate curved shower cubicle, as well as a unit that includes the wash basin and toilet, and a chrome heated towel rail. This modern suite is finished with a vanity unit and tiling to the splashback areas. Finally, there is access via a hatch to a sizeable, well-insulated loft space.

Transport links
Burntwood Road is less than a five-minute drive from the A5 south of Norton Canes and Junction T6 of the M6 Toll Road at Burntwood. These makes journeys to Birmingham, Cannock, Lichfield and Stafford very easy.
For trains, a twenty-minute drive (naturally longer by bus) to Lichfield provides access to two main train stations. These are Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with the latter offering fabulous commuting links due to its split-level platform for the West Coast Mainline and the Cross City Line. This means there are regular services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Redditch as well as national routes to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even the occasional Glasgow service. Train services to Birmingham are also available from Cannock via the Chase Line, which is closer to the home.
Bus users will be delighted that the Cannock to Lichfield service passes in front of the property with stops on Burntwood Road.
Schools & amenities
Parents will be very happy that this home is within such short walking range of the catchment primary and secondary schools, Norton Canes High School (on Burntwood Road) and the Primary Academy that is on the aptly named School Road just 0.2 miles away. All the above information regarding schools has been researched using the Staffordshire school’s website. We do always recommend that buyers check with the local authority first, before confirming catchment.
Chasewater Country Park is a very short walk from the home and is a lovely place for recreational walks, wildlife spotting and exercise routes. At the junction with Burntwood Road and Brownhills Road, there is a selection of local businesses and a convenience store with car park, if the new owners opt against the short walk!
