Introduction & Exterior

This wonderfully presented semi-detached home in Aldridge is ideal for First Time Buyers seeking a home that is ready to move into. Located on the outskirts of Aldridge close to the border with Rushall, the house has excellent commuter links and close-by amenities.

Viewers will approach the house with a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for two cars beside a plush front lawn. Beside the house is a gated side area which is ideal for secluded bin storage before a taller, secure gate provides access to the rear garden.

The rear garden begins with a slabbed patio that is ideal for positioning an outdoor furniture set. The slabbing continues past a short wall to a pathway that leads through the lawn to the far end of the garden where there is a raised shrub border. The lawn cover most of the garden making it ideal for private child / dog play. A large wooden shed at the front of the lawn will remain as part of the sale. The garden is surrounded by tall wooden fencing, with conifers along the left boundary.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home via an attractive composite front door into a porch that is ample for removing coats and shoes before taking a second secure door into the hallway. Just in front upon entering the hallway is the staircase that leads in a straight fashion up to the first floor. Doors from the hallway lead off to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is the largest room in the house, stretching the whole length of the house. With dining designated in the kitchen, the lounge is an impressive room to solely be intended for relaxation. The current owner has enhanced the room with stylish wood-effect flooring and attractive wall panelling.

The kitchen features a fitted suite along the right length of the room as it continues to a recess beyond the entrance. Integrated within this fabulous, modern suite is a four-burner gas hob, chest height double oven, and a stainless steel sink with drainer and swan-neck mixer tap. Clear spaces are available for a washing machine (with plumbing) and a fridge freezer. The dining area has easily enough space for a family table to be positioned ahead of a set of sliding patio doors that offer an exit to the rear garden, as well as letting a lot of natural light in. A low-level storage area is available under the stairwell.

First Floor

The first floor begins with a corridor landing that moves from left-to-right providing access to all three bedrooms, the shower room and a separate WC. Again, like the ground floor, all rooms are decorated tastefully. From the landing there is also a deep airing cupboard that house the gas combi-boiler.

Bedrooms one and two are both positioned at the front of the house at either side of the stairwell, with both having a built-in cupboard making use of the void over it. Both also have a recess to the front which is ideal for a dressing table or furniture unit. Bedroom three is a good sized single bedroom that is currently used as a dressing area and has a recess perfect for a vanity unit. The access to the boarded loft is above bedroom three and has a pull-down ladder to access.

The shower room is a modern suite that features a curved corner shower cubicle supported by a cabinet with wash basin atop and a chrome heated towel radiator. As mentioned above, the toilet is in a separate room just beside the shower room entrance.
