Introduction & Exterior

Available with no chain and in the perfect location for commuters and parents seeking good schools, this semi-detached home will prove extremely popular. The property is extended to the rear and has had the garage part-converted to a utility room and wc, whilst still leaving that desirable storage space.

The house is set back from Garrick Road behind a driveway that provides off-road parking for two cars and has a patch of gravel to the side. At the left of the house is a secure gated passageway to the rear garden that passes the side door to the kitchen. The garden has been beautifully maintained by the current occupants and comprises of a patio that is ideal for a furniture set, a raised lawn and mature plants and shrubs to the borders.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home via a set of outward-opening French doors into the wide porch that has plenty of room for removing coats and shoes. A door from the porch opens to a welcoming hallway where, to the left, is the staircase leading up to the first floor, and a handy storage cupboard to the right. A further door from the hallway opens to the lounge.

The lounge is the largest room in the house and has a wonderful dining room extension to the rear, leaving the main room to be fairly sizeable to be solely designated for relaxing. A sofa suite and entertainment unit can be easily positioned, with the dining room having comfortable space for a six-seater family table. A set of French doors open out to the garden patio and a window to the side allows natural brightness into the dining room, and subsequently the lounge.

A door to the left of the lounge opens into the modern kitchen. With units fitted to all four walls, the suite has plenty of storage for food and utensils as well as lots of work surface space. There is space for a free-standing cooker and the one pictured may be left as part of the sale, dependent on the offer. At the front of the kitchen there is a door into the converted part of the garage, and in particular the utility room which forms and L-shape around the guest WC with wash basin. The utility room includes a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. As mentioned at the top, there is an exit door out to the side passage from the kitchen.

First Floor

At the top of the staircase, guests will discover an L-shaped landing that has doors to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a good-sized storage cupboard. Originally, the toilet was separate from the bathroom and was located in the cupboard, which explains why there is a window in the cupboard. The toilet is now part of the bathroom suite which also includes a bath with shower fitted over, and a wash basin. The bathroom also houses the old airing cupboard which is now used for linen. The central heating system is now run by a combi-boiler which is secluded within the kitchen suite.

All three bedrooms are double in size, with bedrooms one and two being similar in size. The only bedroom with a window looking over the rear garden is considered the master bedroom. Finally, a hatch above the landing accesses a well-insulated loft.

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. Sharing the same name as this property, The Lichfield Garrick Theatre is named after another of Lichfield’s famous sons, the 18th Century playwright David Garrick.

The nearest supermarket is a large Morrisons store near to Beacon Park. Considering its size, Lichfield is also home to a surprising number of supermarkets including a Waitrose, Co-operative, Tesco Extra, Aldi & Lidl supermarkets. The nearest convenience store is located a short walk away at Swallow Croft.
