Semi-detached house for sale in Lincoln Avenue, Staffordshire, Newcastle Under Lyme ST5

Property Reference number : 996556

- no chain - This substantial 1930's style three bedroom semi detached home offers spacious rooms, high ceilings, new carpets, an expansive garden, off street parking and plenty of opportunity to expand subject to planning.

Properties of this size in this area rarely come to market as they are ideal for families growing all the way from nursery through to university e.g. The current owners have held the property for almost 20 years. Viewing is therefore highly recommended particularly for “second movers” looking for a long term family home.

Property description

Decorated in light tones (as is all of the house) the downstairs of the property is airy and spacious thanks to the high ceilings (2.60m / 8’ 6”), bow windows in the dining room and the virtually floor to ceiling french door arrangement in the lounge area. This pair of large rooms offer space for plenty of furniture while still maintaining flow and the fitted crockery/storage cupboards in the dining room are an efficient use of space. The shelving above them is ideal to display collectables or as bookshelves. The newly renovated downstairs toilet being located immediately adjacent to the back door means that children don’t have to take shoes on and off and go through the house when nature calls in the garden!

Perfect for an expanding family. Bedrooms one and two are truly “king sized” rooms with space for either king sized beds (european king pictured) and plenty of other furniture or for multiple children’s beds. Bedroom three would make an ideal nursery or will accommodate either a full sized single bed or loft bed for an older sibling however would be equally suited as an office as it already has a telephone/broadband point. The bathroom is an exceptional size for a semi-detached house with both a very large shower cubicle and a full sized bath plus a cavernous cupboard to store all those products.

Externally the front of the property offers off street parking behind a low wall for at least two and probably three vehicles depending on their size and orientation. A street light in combination with a hanging, house numbered porch lantern, illuminates the entire area. To the side of the house a pair of substantial gates with fleurs-de-lys style spikes provide security to the rear of the property through which two further vehicles could be parked toward the garage. However the side of the house would probably be best suited to caravan storage if required.

The south east facing rear garden of the property stretches a full 30 metres into the distance. Walking from the back door you cross a very large patio (the full width of the house) with the garage to your right, you then step down onto an even wider lawned area and then to some steps which descend onto the main lawn. Either side of the steps are areas for planting which once you have descended the steps are in effect raised beds. The first part of the lawn is large and flat and suitable for children's ball games or swings, play houses etc. It then slopes to the bottom of the garden. Privacy and security is provided by established trees, shrubs and hedging.

In terms of expansion potential there are examples of rearward, sideward and upward extensions in the vicinity including the annexing of detached garages.

Area description

The property is located on the south side of Lincoln Avenue which is a leafy and very quiet road which has virtually no traffic during the majority of the day. With easy access to junction 15 of the M6, the avenue has primarily medium to larger semi detached houses with a handful of detached properties. This home is one of the earlier built, larger, semi-detached houses on the avenue.

All but one of the 11 primary schools within a one mile radius have been rated as good by Ofsted.

It is situated within easy walking distance (less than half a mile heading east) of Royal Stoke University Hospital, Springfields Retail Park (Iceland, B&M, Halfords, Pets At Home, McDonalds), The Orange Tree Bar and Grill, an Aldi, a Tesco’s and the M Club Spa and Fitness Gym on Newcastle Road. On Clayton Road to the North a parade of shops consists of a SimplyLocal convenience store, hair and beauty salon, tanning salon, barbers and the Secret Garden restaurant/bar.

It is less than one mile south of Newcastle-Under-Lyme High Street which can be walked to through Lyme Brook Valley Parkway which contains two playgrounds (the one closest is for younger children and just four minutes walk away), a bmx track, skatepark, basketball court, public exercise equipment and sports pitches. You would also pass Homebase, Morrisons and Costa on the way into town.

It could be argued that depending on where you work you could live on Lincoln Avenue and not need a car. However, if you do, Springfield Garage is less than half a mile away so you can drop it off for an mot or service and walk home within minutes.

Note: Distances/measurements are direct (as the crow flies) and approximate.
