Introduction & Exterior

This remarkable and extended home on the outskirts of the Staffordshire village of Stonnall will be of high interest to families seeking a long term move to a stylish home that is ready to move into. The property is set back from Cartersfield Lane behind a large frontage and viewers will immediately note the double gates to ensure of privacy and security. These gates are electronic and are remotely controlled. There is a keypad fitted to the right of the gates along with a ‘Ring’ intercom system.

The gates open to a long slate covered driveway that reaches the house and continues to the front left between a short brick wall. The wall separates the driveway from the front lawn. There is also a large wooden shed at the front which makes for an ideal log store. The lawn has flowers to the borders and there are two tall rows of privet grown to the boundaries. A secure gate opens to the side passage which continues to the rear garden.

The garden is incredibly private and begins with an area of decking that is ideal for an outdoor furniture set and also features a sheltered area with outdoor electric that has been used for a hot tub in the past. The garden then rises to an area on synthetic turf that has sleepers bordering with attractive plants and pebbles. A decorative patio and bench is available at the far left of the garden.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the rear garden is the stunning detached outbuilding that is currently used as a gymnasium and putting practice area for golf! This huge garden room measures over twenty-five feet in length, has power & lighting, French doors to enter, and double glazed windows at two aspects.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home through the composite door directly into the hallway. The hallway has the winding staircase immediately to the left with low-level storage cupboard underneath, and two openings to access the dining room and kitchen. There are no doors between the rooms on the ground floor which works very well and with the positions of the walls, it is far from open plan.

The dining room ahead has comfortably enough room for a large family dining table. Natural light is allowed in via the sensational bi-folding doors that open out to the decking. As the dining room and kitchen are open at the rear of the room, the doors provide light to both rooms and, when fully open, provide a superb area for entertaining family and friends. Viewers will note the wood-effect tiling laid underfoot and will be further delighted with the knowledge that the entire ground floor is underfloor heated

The floor tiling continues into the stylish kitchen suite that has a highly desired central island unit. The kitchen is integrated to include a dishwasher, chest height oven with slide-and-hide door, microwave, fridge freezer and a five-burner gas hob with extractor fan. The unit facias are trendy dove grey and navy blue and there is a light stone work surface. Viewers will love the Belfast sink fitted to the front of the suite and the sealed fireplace to the left for ornaments. The chimney is still in place, and we understand that this can be opened should the new buyers desired a working fireplace / log burner.

An opening at the rear right of the room opens to the extended part of the ground floor which is the lounge. The lounge is the only carpeted room on the ground floor with a fabulous deep pile laid underfoot. There is wooden panelling added to the walls for a more contemporary look and a window fitted at the front and rear of this large reception room. Just outside of the entry to the lounge is a storage cupboard housing the gas combination boiler.

First Floor

Guests make their way up a wonderful gallery stairwell up to the corridor style landing. The landing has doors leading off to three generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional WC. Above the first floor is a thickly insulated large loft space.

The largest of the bedrooms is at the far end of the corridor (right side of the house) and has a similar footprint to the lounge below. As depicted in the photos, the king sized bed is dwarfed by the space available, and this will impress viewers. The room feels even bigger due to the vaulted ceiling and has more of the attractive panelling seen in other rooms. There is a handy storage cupboard recessed into the entrance of the bedroom.

Bedroom two is immediately next to the master bedroom and is shown with another king sized bed in place and a desk unit opposite displaying the great space available, whereas bedroom three is used as a dressing room but is clearly a double bedroom. All three bedrooms have windows overlooking the rear garden, with bedroom one also having a window to the front.

The family bathroom is at the front of the house and features a long bathtub with shower and screen fitted over, as well as a Windsor radiator with towel rail, wash basin atop cabinet, and a toilet. It is the only room on the first floor that includes underfloor heating. As mentioned above, there is an additional toilet with wash basin in a small room between the bathroom and the stairwell.
