2 bed bungalow for sale

Covey Close, Lichfield WS13

The property

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: Awaited ** Council Tax Band: E

Introduction & Exterior

Available with No Upward Chain, this extended bungalow will be of high interest to those looking to retire to a peaceful area of Lichfield within excellent reach of a range of amenities. A huge selling feature is that the bungalow is accompanied by a detached double garage that has a fob-controlled electric door to enter from the front and a personnel door from the garden at the rear. The garage has a pitched roof available for further storage.

The bungalow is set back from Covey Close behind a delightfully maintained, wide front garden that has a path through the centre leading right to the front door. The front door is recessed into the centre of the frontage to create a storm porch. Between the bungalow and garage is a secure gate to lead through to the rear garden. A second secure gate to the garden is available at the far left of the property.

The rear of the bungalow is extended to create more living space and in doing so has created two generous patio areas on either side; one behind the garage and other from the bungalow’s main rear exit door. Both offer plenty of options for an outdoor furniture set. As the garden narrows to a point at the far end, it has been landscaped to include a triangular patch of lawn that is supported by a short retaining wall. Tall wooden fence is erected to the boundaries with evergreen trees and plants to the borders. An outdoor water tap is also available.

Bungalow Interior

As mentioned above, the bungalow has been extended to the rear which has had a positive knock on effect to the original rooms. For example, the extension mainly consists of the master bedroom with accompanying stylish en suite. This allows the previous bedroom area to be used as a dining room, which in turn frees up the full length double reception room to be solely designated as a lounge. At present, the lounge is set out with a sofa suite and entertainment unit at the front of the room, with the rear ‘former dining’ area set out as a study and music area.

The kitchen also benefits from the extension as a utility area has been created which moves the washing machine away, leaving space for a dishwasher. The kitchen suite is mainly fitted around the left side of the room, leaving the right side open for a breakfast table or positioning of a large fridge freezer. The suite has an integrated ‘Neff’ oven with four-burner gas hob.

To the left of the entrance hallway upon entering the property is the family bathroom which has a dated pink suite which is likely to be replaced by the new owner, and this has been factored in when considering the marketing price, especially with the modern en suite in place. Opposite the bathroom is bedroom two which is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe.

The dining room is beyond bedroom two from the hallway and is easily large enough for a six-seater table to be positioned. A further door from the dining room opens to the master bedroom. This is a terrific double bedroom, again with a set of built in wardrobes. The en suite shower room is very modern and includes a corner cubicle, pedestal wash basin, toilet, electric shaving point, chrome heated towel radiator, and complete tiling to the walls and floor.

Finally, from the hallway there are two handy storage cupboards and a hatch above to access a large, insulated loft space. All windows are double-glazed and the gas central heating is provided by a combi-boiler mounted to the utility room wall.

Transport links

Covey Close is a quiet cul-de-sac off Wissage Lane near to the Trent Valley area of Lichfield where there is a major roundabout junction. This includes the A5127, Eastern Avenue & Cappers Lane. 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 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 half-hourly bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station located on Eastern Avenue. 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. At the tip of Hobs Road, there is a row of shops including a convenience store. The recent Cathedral View development in nearby Streethay includes a Coffee Shop / Bar, convenience store and takeaway outlets.

According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Netherstowe High School which is half a mile from this home. There are two catchment primary schools within a half mile which are Scotch Orchard, which is very close by, and St. Chads Primary. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
