The property

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: B

Introduction & Exterior

Located on the sought-after Roman Heights development in Streethay, this fabulous, detached family home will impress all viewers – particularly larger families – seeking a long term move. Built in 2020, the house is presented impeccably and has a complete range of features that are in demand by detached house buyers. The build date also means there are still five years remaining on the NHBC warranty.

The property is set back from Thompson Way behind a block-paved frontage with low shrubbery providing a boundary with the pavement. Adjacent to the property is Osprey Street from where there is a tandem driveway at the rear of the property that precedes a single garage with a manual up-and-over door. Steps rise from the driveway to a secure gate that opens to the garden and it’s via this route that the owners usually arrive home.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a long slabbed patio to the right side that offers an abundance of space for an outdoor furniture set. Attractive shrubbery and gravel stones are found at the borders and a tall wooden fenced boundary keeps the garden lovely and private. A water tap attached to the house is in place beside the utility room exit door.

Ground Floor

Viewers will enter the home via a composite front door into a grand entrance hallway that has an angled staircase leading up to the first floor and plenty of space for guests to remove their coats and shoes at ground level. Immediately of note is the glorious herringbone lvt flooring that also runs into the kitchen and guest WC. Underneath the staircase is access to a handy deep storage cupboard and beyond this is the door for the guest WC which includes a wash hand basin. Further doors from the hallway open to the lounge, kitchen and study. It’s worth noting that all external doors and windows feature double-glazing.

The lounge is to the left of the hallway and stretches the full length of the left hand side of the house. With dining designated within the kitchen, the lounge is a remarkable space for the family to relax. The room is lovely and bright thanks to a large window at the front and a set of French doors at the rear that open to the garden patio.

To the right of the hallway is the study which includes a lovely bay window at the side and due to this would also work well as an alternative sitting room of child’s playroom.

At the rear of the ground floor is a sensational open plan kitchen with dining that has a suite fitted around the front and right side of the room leaving the remainder open for a family dining table. The suite features a range of top-quality integrated appliances that include a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, chest-height fan-assisted electric oven beside a separate grill with microwave function, and an induction hob with cookerhood extractor.

From the dining area a set of French doors lead out from the kitchen to the garden patio. A door to the front-left of the kitchen opens to a utility room that features a matching suite with sink and drainer and spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The central heating boiler is mounted high on the wall, secluded within a unit. Similar to the kitchen, the suite is finished by attractive metro tiling to the splashback areas.

First Floor

As viewers make their to the first floor, the angled staircase turns into a fabulous gallery landing that will be appreciated by those who love to display artwork or family photos. From the landing, there are doors leading off to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also an airing cupboard and a hatch above to access a sizeable loft space.

The master bedroom is positioned at the rear-right of the first floor and is the largest of the four bedrooms, comfortably holding a king sized bed whilst also featuring a fitted wardrobe. Near to the entrance of the bedroom is an en suite shower room which has a double shower cubicle with twin-headed shower, wash basin, toilet and radiator. The remaining double bedrooms each have a window, radiator and sockets as expected.

The family bathroom has another attractive suite that includes a long bathtub with shower and screen fitted over, a wall-mounted wash basin, toilet, and a chrome heated towel radiator.

Communal service charge

Although Freehold, we are led to believe there will be a maintenance charge of £167.28 per annum for upkeep of communal grounds once the development is completed. This is to be confirmed by solicitors.

Transport links

Thompson Way leads directly off the A5127 Burton Road in Streethay. The A5127 leads to Lichfield City Centre in the west and the A38 north in the east, which leads directly to Burton on Trent and Derby. Taking Cappers Lane from the main roundabout at nearby Trent Valley will provide access to the A38 south (for Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield) as well as rural routes and the A51 to Tamworth. Eastern Avenue is a bypass which navigates around half the circumference of Lichfield, and therefore provides good access to the A51 north to Rugeley & Stafford.

There is a regular bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located on Yoxall Way, which leads to Burton on Trent in the opposite direction. The bus station provides links to all of the above destinations as well as places beyond Lichfield to the west including Walsall, Brownhills, Burntwood & Cannock.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located within walking distance of Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

Schools & amenities

Buyers will be delighted that there is an area of businesses at the beginning of the development that include a Co-op convenience store, take away outlets, and a trendy two-storey coffee shop/bar called Bod.

With Lichfield being one of the smallest cities in the UK, the majority of homes are within walking distance to the centre, where there are plenty of famous and independent stores. The city is steeped in history including the cathedral, churches, and the Birthplace of Dr Samuel Johnson, credited for compiling the English dictionary amongst other literary achievements. Lichfield has five major supermarkets, all within short driving range.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Netherstowe High School which is within a mile of this home. The outstanding Streethay Primary School is located a short walk away from the home although there are two further catchment primary schools listed on the Staffordshire Schools website, Scotch Orchard (0.5 miles) & St. Chads Primary (0.9 miles). Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
