Introduction & Exterior

This fabulously presented home on the popular Abbots Gate development in Glascote, Tamworth will prove extremely popular amongst families seeking plenty of reception space and those who like to entertain. The property is set back from a service driveway at the end of Cleeve, where there is off-road parking for two cars and potential for a third. This is due to there being a pleasant synthetic lawn garden to the left with gravel patch and shrubbery that enhances the initial presentation.

A secure gated passage to the right side of the house continues through to the rear garden. Those who like to relax outdoors will fall in love with the stunning wooden gazebo fixed to the full width of the rear of the house with decking laid underneath. The garden is low maintenance with a large patch of synthetic lawn surrounded by bark, further decking and raised plant boxes. In the far-right corner of the garden is another patch of synthetic lawn for those who prefer to sit in the sun during the summer. Furthermore, an eye-catching addition is an outdoor bar at the centre-rear.

French doors open out to the sheltered decking and there is also a tall, wall mounted radiator in the dining area.

The kitchen suite is mounted to the right side of the room and includes a stylish hi-gloss suite with laminated stone-effect work surfaces.
