Introduction & Exterior

Built in 2005, this superb three-storey home is part of a delightful modern development on the outskirts of Brownhills by the Wyrley & Essington Canal and Catshill Junction. The name of the Bridgeside Close is derived from Clayhanger Bridge over the canal at the beginning of the street. It is a peaceful development that has been a long term family home for the current owners and is likely to be the same for the new buyers.

The house is set back from the close behind a printed concrete driveway that has been added by the current owner as a second and more convenient driveway to the existing driveway located to the rear of the house. This is accesses by service road that leads under an arch connected at the left of the house to a communal area where the driveway precedes the single garage. The garage is part of a two-garage block with pitched roof for extra storage and power & lighting installed.

A secure gate from the service road opens to the rear garden. This well-kept and private outdoor space will be loved by families as it has a flagstone patio offering plenty of room for an outdoor furniture set, an area of raised decking as a further seating option, and a lawn laid in between. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Guests enter through the yellow main entrance door at the front of the house into a long hallway that has plenty of room for guests to remove coats and shoes. Immediately to the left of the entrance is a guest WC with wash basin. There is an obscured window allowing in natural light and it’s worth noting that all windows throughout this home are double-glazed. The remaining doors from the hallway are to the kitchen and lounge. Just beyond the WC is the carpeted staircase leading up to the first floor and beneath this is a welcome area of open storage, current utilised for a sideboard unit.

The kitchen is to the right of the hallway and comprises of a wooden suite fitted to the rear three walls of the room. This leaves an open area at the front for a dining table, in front of a window looking out to the Close. The kitchen includes a Hotpoint oven and cookerhood extractor fan positioned above a four-burner gas hob. Clear spaces are available for a washing machine (with plumbing), dishwasher and fridge freezer. The kitchen suite also conceals the central heating condenser boiler.

The lounge is at the rear and spans the full width of the house, originally intended for both a lounge and dining. Since the addition of a stunning large conservatory on the rear of the house, the lounge has simply been used for relaxing the family and is a great size for this. As well as French doors opening into the conservatory, there is a window to the right allowing more natural light into the lounge.

The conservatory is a superb size and is currently used as a picturesque area to run a home business. The new owners may prefer to use this as a dining room, playroom or an additional sitting room. A glass ceiling gives glorious blue sky views on brighter days with a slight tint to protect from the sun. A second set of French doors open out to the flagstone patio.

First Floor

Guests make their way up to the first floor where there is a corridor landing that has plenty of wall space for artwork and family photography. From the landing there are doors leading to three bedrooms, the family bathroom, an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank fed by the boiler in the kitchen, and a further storage cupboard. There is also a second staircase leading up to the second floor.

The three bedrooms on this floor comprise of two generous double rooms and a good sized single. The two doubles are positioned back-to-back on the right side of this floor, and each have an identical wardrobe making great use of the space behind the airing cupboard.

The family bathroom is a pleasant suite that includes a bathtub with shower and curtain fitted over, pedestal wash basin, toilet, electric shaving point, and mosaic-style tiling to the splashback areas.

Second Floor

The prospective main occupants of this home will love the second floor as it is solely dedicated to the master bedroom. The vast double bedroom has so much room for a king sized bed and other bedroom furniture to be positioned, especially as there is a large built-in wardrobe already supplied. A standard vertical window protrudes from the roofline at the front of the bedroom, with a skylight providing light from the rear.

Also at the rear of the bedroom is an angled door opening into a large en suite shower room. This superb suite includes a shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin, toilet, a radiator, and tiling to the splash back areas. An obscured window provides lots of natural light to the room and there is extra space for a furniture unit, as depicted in the photo.
