Introduction & Exterior

This magnificent executive detached home in the peaceful village of Drayton Bassett, south of Tamworth, will be of high interest to families seeking a well presented home with excellent room sizes, a double garage and a generous rear garden.

The house is set back from Old Manor Close behind a block-paved driveway that provides off-road parking for three cars, and precedes the double garage to the left. The garage has two manual up-and-over doors to enter and a loft for extra storage. A personnel door to the rear opens to the wide side passage at the left of the main building, which is also accessed from the driveway via a secure gate. The side passage is wide enough to hold a large shed before opening to the garden.

The rear garden is wonderfully private with tall wooden fencing to the neighbouring property boundaries, whilst backing onto a private road and woodland immediately behind. The garden is mainly lawn, with a flagstone patio laid across the rear of the house, and three further seating patios at the far corners and centre-rear. Raised flower beds supported by sleepers enhance the attractive nature of the garden.

Once through the front door, viewers are brought into a bright entrance hallway where there is plenty of room for guests to remove coats and shoes. An immediate item of note is the glass balustrade on the staircase ahead, that leads in a straight fashion up to the landing area. From the hallway there are doors leading off to the guest WC with wash basin, a study, lounge and kitchen.

The study is perfect for those working from home, with dual aspect windows to keep it lovely and bright. It’s worth noting that all exterior windows and doors are double glazed.

The lounge is a wonderful, large reception room that is opened through at the far end with the dining room. A fabulous bay window at the front of the room maximises the available space and natural light, whereas a modern electric fireplace provides a pleasing focal point. Sliding patio doors open from the dining room to exit to the garden patio.

A door from the dining room, as well as one from the hallway, opens to a sizeable kitchen that features a white suite fitted to the perimeter. The range oven pictured will be included with the sale. And there are clear spaces for a dishwasher and large fridge freezer to be positioned. A deep cupboard makes excellent use of the space under the staircase, offering an option for a pantry if desired.

A door to the left of the kitchen opens to a long utility room that has a space with plumbing for a washing machine and a one-and-a-half-bowl stainless steel sink with drainer positioned in front of a window looking out to the garden. This matches a similar sink in the kitchen, also positioned in front of a garden facing window. The gas central heating boiler is concealed within the kitchen suite, mounted high in the far corner
