The property

Tenure: Freehold

EPC Rating: C ** Council Tax Band: B

Introduction & Exterior

This sensationally presented family home on the Aldridge side of the Aldridge/Rushall border will be of high interest to first time buyers and those seeking a home that is ready to move into. The home has been refurbished and remodelled by the current owner to include a utility room and guest WC, as well as stylish suites and an eye-catching media wall. Further good news is that the property is available with no upward chain.

The house is set back from Westgate, holding an elevated position behind a lawned front garden and a block-paved driveway for two cars. To the left of the house is a passageway with a gate at each end to pass between the front and rear exterior without the need of entering the house. There is a side door between the gates to enter the home through the utility room.

The rear garden is a fantastic size for a property of this type. It features a large wooden summer house to the left that is preceded by a gravel patch and has a slabbed patio behind. The rest of the garden is mainly lawn with a path running through the centre. A combination of evergreen hedgerow and tall wooden fencing provides the boundaries to keep the garden lovely and private.

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home via an attractive composite front door directly into the hallway where the clean neutral décor is immediately apparent. To the immediate left is the guest WC which is a new addition to the property. It features a toilet with wash basin built into the cistern to cleverly save space. Elsewhere from the hallway are doors opening to the kitchen and lounge, with the carpeted staircase leading in a straight fashion up to the first floor landing.

The kitchen is incredibly stylish with a grey suite that is perfectly complemented by wood-effect laminated work surfaces. The suite includes an integrated electric oven, four-ring electric hob with extractor fan above, and a dishwasher. Clear space at the front of the room is available for a dining table and the room is naturally well lit by dual aspect windows. A handy understairs cupboard is found to the right of the kitchen entrance.

An opening to the front of the kitchen accesses the utility room where there is undercounter space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a space to the side for a fridge freezer. As mentioned above there is an exit door to the side passage.

The lounge is the largest room in the house and stretches the full length of the original build. The most striking feature is that the chimney breast and recess beside have been converted to a stunning media wall with downlighting set within ornament shelving. The remainder of the room comfortably holds a sofa suite. A set of French doors open to the lean-to conservatory that provides a lovely spot to sit with a panoramic view of the garden thanks to the full-width window and further set of French doors opening to the garden.

First Floor

The first floor begins with a corridor landing that moves from left-to-right providing access to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and an airing cupboard housing the central heating combi-boiler. Again, like the ground floor, all rooms are decorated tastefully.

Bedrooms one and two are both positioned at the front of the house at either side of the stairwell. Bedroom one has a large triple-sliding mirrored-door wardrobe fitted into a deep recess. Bedroom two has a similar recess which has been left open to better position a double bed, and has dual aspect windows. Bedroom three is a good sized single bedroom that is currently set out as a home office and built-in storage cupboard.

The final part of remodelling in the house is that the originally separated bathroom and WC have been opened together to create a complete family bathroom that features another stylish suite. It comprises of an L-shaped bath with shower and black-grid shower screen fitted above, a wash basin atop a glossy storage cabinet, wall mounted towel radiator, and a toilet.

Transport links

Westgate is part of the main stretch that links Rushall with Aldridge and is therefore excellent for commuters looking to reach the Lichfield Road for journeys to Walsall and Lichfield, and through Aldridge via nearby Stubbers Green Lane to reach Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham.

As Aldridge doesn’t have a railway running through, the nearest railway stations to this property are Walsall or Bloxwich, which offer regular services to Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton, Cannock & Rugeley.

Bus users will be delighted that there are bus stops located on Westgate for the Lichfield to Walsall route which passes through Aldridge, Stonnall and Shenstone.

Schools & amenities

Barns Lane, which continues from Westgate and is in good walking distance, has a public house called The Farmers Boy and a Premier convenience store just along from it on the adjacent Kings Road. Taking a short walk away from the front of the house down north-west leads to ‘The Swag’ and Swan Pool which are lovely countryside spots enjoyed by dog walkers and those looking to stretch their legs for a while.

The nearest primary school is Radleys Primary which is under a half mile walk on Kings Road in Rushall. There are two secondary schools a mile from the home. These are The Aldridge School and Ormiston Academy, Shelfield. Viewers are advised, as always, to check with the local authority before confirming catchment. The well renowned St Francis of Assisi Catholic Secondary is just under a mile and a half away.
