The property

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: D ** Council Tax Band: C

Introduction & Exterior

This wonderful, detached home in Amington will be of high interest to families seeking plenty of space throughout the house, a generous rear garden and a home that is ready to move into. It is set back from Torc Avenue behind a block paved driveway that, due to the large porch, is suited to a larger car parking side-on to the house. The garage door shown is blocked-off immediately behind as it has been converted to increase the interior space of the house.

To the left of the house is a gated passageway that leads round to the rear garden. The garden has plenty of features including a deep patio, large lawn wrapping around a large wooden shed and sheltered storage built into the gap at the right side of the house. The shed could be used as a workshop with power added by the new owners if desired. Tall wooden fencing is erected to the boundaries.

Ground Floor

Viewers enter the home via a wonderful bright and wide porch that has plenty of room for guests to remove and store coats and shoes. The large window at the front is responsible for the brightness and it’s worth noting that all windows throughout the home are double-glazed. The staircase to the first floor is at the rear left of the porch, with a door beside to enter into the lounge.

This vast reception room stretches the rest of the length of the house and features wood-effect laminate flooring laid underfoot. To the right of the room is a chimney breast that has a gas fire fitted to the front. The fire is ornamental as the gas system has been disconnected in favour of a highly efficient electric water heating system (more on this below). The front of the reception room is designated as a lounge, with dining area located at the rear of the room ahead of the sliding patio doors that open to the garden patio.

A door to the left of the reception room accesses the kitchen. Fitted in a galley-style, the kitchen has a stylish hi-gloss suite that has plenty of units and work surface space. Integrated within the units is an electric oven, hob and cookerhood extractor fan. Clear spaces are available for a fridge freezer and dishwasher (with plumbing) and there is a set of French doors at the rear that open out to the garden.

As mentioned at the top, the garage has been converted. This has been done into two rooms; a utility room and a study that is currently used a music room. The utility room features the ‘Fischer’ branded combination boiler. This has the appearance of any regular combi-boiler except that it’s modern design is to run on electric rather than gas but is still a ‘wet’ system with its use of standard radiators and is very efficient. We welcome readers to research more on this type of system.

First Floor & Attic Level

Viewers return to the entrance to take the carpeted staircase up to the first floor landing. This L-shaped area has doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom

The three bedrooms comprise of a large double bedroom at the rear and two further double bedrooms on either side of the stairwell at the front of the house. The master bedroom has a row of mirrored wardrobes fitted to the far wall and a large double glazed window with a great view over the rear garden. Bedroom three, to the left of the stairwell, has built-in mirrored wardrobe at the rear of the room.

Things get even more interesting in bedroom two. This generous double bedroom originally had a built-in storage cupboard at the front which has been removed to allow for an open wooden staircase leading up to the attic level. The attic is split to two similar size rooms on either side of the stairwell that each have a skylight window and plenty of eaves storage. The current owners use these rooms as home offices.

The family bathroom is a superb suite. Originally a bathroom with airing cupboard and a separate toilet, these have been knocked through to maximise the space and allow for the sensational suite we see today. This comprises of a large, curved bathtub at the far end of the room that has central taps, a corner shower cubicle with electric shower, pedestal wash basin, and toilet. Two obscured windows on different aspects allow in plenty of natural light and attractive tiling is applied to the entire walls and floor.

Transport links

Torc Avenue continues from New Street in Glascote, branching off the Glascote Road (B5000) which links between Tamworth centre and Polesworth. Midway along this route is a junction with Marlborough Way that leads to the A5. This makes it easy for connecting to the M42 and A38 for commuting to places such as Birmingham, Lichfield, Nottingham, and Nuneaton to name a few. Those who don’t mind walking will enjoy a 20-30 minute walk to the Town Centre & Train Station, depending on pace.

For trains, Tamworth railway station is a major split level platform station operating on both the West Coast Main Line and Cross Country Line. This provides excellent access to major cities within mainland UK such as Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Nottingham and Liverpool to name a few.

Bus users will be delighted that a regular circular bus service to Tamworth town centre has stops on Glascote Road. This service runs up at least five times per hour on weekdays. Many further destinations are then available from Tamworth to places such as Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Burton on Trent to name a few.

Schools & amenities

Parents will be delighted that, according to the Staffordshire Schools website, both catchment schools are well within a mile of this home. The secondary school catchment is listed as Landau Forte, Amington which is 0.5 miles walk or drive away. The Primary School is even closer, as Woodlands Primary is only 0.2 miles away. As with all areas, there are other local schools and it is highly recommended that you check with the local authority to confirm catchment.

Amenities wise, the part of the Glascote Road that New Street branches off is the centre of Glascote itself, and therefore has a row of shops and independent businesses that include a convenience store and takeaways. For a larger shop, Tamworth has a plethora of supermarkets and retail parks which are all within a 5–10-minute journey - the closest being a recently opened Aldi, also on the Glascote Road

Not too far away off the Glascote Road (heading towards Tamworth) is a bridge over the Coventry Canal, providing a pleasant route for walks and runs. Tamworth is also home to the historic Castle as well as the Snowdome, Leisure Centres, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other places of interest.
