Located on the sought-after Darwin Park (or ‘The Waitrose Development’ to those from Lichfield), this fabulous three-storey home will delight all viewers with its magnificent presentation. The house is set back from Deykin Road behind a fenced front lawn with a gated pathway leading to the front door.

To the right of the house is a shared drive for this house and neighbouring properties to access their parking. This particular house includes a single garage and a carport. Shown on the photos, the carport is to the left (where the car is parked) and the garage is to the right of the two shown. The garage includes a pitched roof for additional storage.  

From the drive there is a secure gate to the side of the house that accesses a wonderful, private rear garden. The garden has been well maintained by the current owner and features a flagstone patio, raised decking and plush lawn. A raised flower bed supported by sleepers provides an attractive touch to left and there is an outdoor tap to assist with keeping them looking at their best. The garden is kept private by tall wooden fencing.

Upon entering the home, guests will find an ample hallway for removing coats and shoes, and a handy cupboard to the left to store them. Preceding this cupboard is a guest WC that includes a corner wash basin. Opposite the guest WC is the entrance to the kitchen, and at the far end of the hallway is a door to enter the lounge. Just before the lounge, to the left is the carpeted staircase rising up to the first floor.

Buyers will love the stylish hi-gloss suite fitted in the kitchen, with Minerva worktops that have the wash basin sunk into it along with cut draining lines. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, four-ring electric hob with extractor fan, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge-freezer. A space with plumbing is available for a washing machine to be positioned. Also secluded within the units is the gas boiler.

The lounge is the largest room in the house and has a lovely, polished wood effect floor and a set of French doors set into a wide bay at the rear of the room that allow plenty of natural light in. The French doors open straight to the flagstone patio. The lounge is easily large enough to hold dining as well as a sofa suite and entertainment unit, as depicted in the photos.
