Introduction & Exterior

Located around a ten-minute walk from Lichfield city centre, this extended family home on Oakhurst is available with no upward chain. Anyone with good knowledge of the local area will know that houses do not come to market often on Oakhurst as families tend to stay here for a long time with this house being no exception.

The house is set back from the road behind a pleasant front garden and a long driveway that has parking for two cars in tandem. The driveway precedes a garage with manual up and over door that comfortably holds a third vehicle. A personnel door at the rear of the garage leads directly into the house.

Another reason for the long tenure of owners down Oakhurst is the generous plot that each house has. The rear garden is a fabulous size, beginning with a block-paved patio before continuing to a long lawn that has attractive shrubbery and trees to the borders and tall wooden fencing to the boundaries. A wooden shed is in place at the far right corner of the garden.

The dining room was formerly the kitchen before the house was extended behind the garage many years ago to create the kitchen that is in place today. This means that the dining area is expanded from what was originally intended when built. This continues round to the front of the house where the large lounge is positioned. The chimney breast is in place which has been blocked off and has an electric log-burner-style fireplace positioned in front. An abundance of natural light is allowed via a wide double glazed window at the front, another in the dining room and a set of sliding patio doors opening to the garden patio.

The kitchen features a wood-effect suite fitted to most of the wall space with integrated oven & grill, four ring electric hob & overhead extractor fan, dishwasher and a breakfast bar all included.
