Introduction & Exterior

Holding a delightful position on a private driveway facing a communal green, this modern detached home in Streethay will prove extremely popular to smaller families seeking a place with brilliant reception space, a garage and private rear garden.

The block-paved driveway leading off Woodlark Way serves three homes, and we understand that each home owns the driveway in front of their home, level with the natural boundary. This means that this home has the right of way over the neighbouring properties and being at the end, that this plot is the most private of all three and allows for an extra couple of parking spaces in front of the house.

The driveway continues down the side of the house to a detached single garage beside the rear garden that can comfortably hold an extra car. The garage has a manual up-and-over door and a pitched roof for further storage. Power and light is available. Including the garage, there is comfortable parking for five cars.

A secure gate in front of the garage provides access from the driveway to the rear garden. This fabulous, private space begins with a full-width slabbed patio with gravel patch in between and a pergola with roof sheltering the right side to create a wonderful seating area. The garden continues to a large patch of lawn that is surrounded by a tall brick wall and wooden fence boundary.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter this lovely double-fronted building through the central composite front door immediately into a generous hallway which runs through the centre of the ground floor with doors leading off to the lounge, kitchen, and a guest WC with wash basin at the far end. The staircase is immediately ahead that rises in a straight fashion up to the first floor and has a handy storage cupboard underneath.

Just beside the bottom step is a door to enter a magnificent lounge that has a bay window to the side to allow extra light into an already bright room, owing to the front window and French doors opening out to the sheltered patio. It’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed. The lounge is the largest room in the house, stretching the full length of the building.

The kitchen also stretches the full length, being slightly narrower than the lounge but still wide enough to afford a wonderful dining area at the rear of the room. This enables a six-seater dining table to be comfortably positioned ahead of another set of French doors. The kitchen has a stylish suite fitted around the front of the room that features a range of integrated appliances and a one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer set in front of the kitchen window. The appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, four-burner gas hob, extractor fan, chest height double oven and a washing machine.

First Floor

As viewers make their to the first floor, they arrive at a bright landing owing to the window on the rear wall, with doors leading off to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and another storage cupboard, this time housing the combination boiler.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front-right of the first floor and is the largest of the three bedrooms, comfortably holding a king sized bed whilst also featuring a fitted sliding-door wardrobe. To the front-left of the bedroom is access to an en suite shower room which has a shower cubicle, wall-mounted wash basin, toilet and a chrome heated towel radiator. The remaining bedrooms are a comfortable double bedroom and a generous single bedroom with recess, that could be perfect as a home office.

The family bathroom has another attractive suite that includes a large bathtub with mixer tap including hand-held shower head, a wall-mounted wash basin, toilet, and a chrome heated towel radiator behind the door.

Communal service charge

Although Freehold, we understand there is a maintenance charge for upkeep of communal grounds. This is to be confirmed by solicitors as it has fluctuated between £150 and £200 per annum.

Transport links

Woodlark Way is located at the between the Roman Heights and Cathedral View developments in Streethay and is therefore a short drive to the A5127 Burton Road. 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 the nearby 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

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.

Just before reaching the town centre, there are two large supermarkets a short drive to the west of the property, with another supermarket located north on Eastern Avenue. The development has a small shopping centre that features a Co-op convenience store, a trendy bar and café, takeaway outlets and more.

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. Streethay Primary School is located a short walk away. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
