Property description

The property

EPC band: D / Council Tax Band: C / Rear Garden Orientation: North

Available with no upward chain, this fabulous link detached home in the Etching Hill area of Rugeley will prove very popular, particularly to first time buyers. The house is set back from Highland Way holding an elevated position meaning there are outstanding views looking over Rugeley to the front. Between the house and the road is a wide, block-paved driveway with slate border for extra kerb appeal. There is space for at least two cars on a driveway that precedes a garage with an electric, roll-shut door.

Viewers will enter the house via a porch that has ample room for guests to remove coats and shoes. A second door opens through to a wide open lounge with the staircase to the first floor to the left, an electric fireplace at the rear and a bowed window to the front. To the rear of the lounge is a door through to a large kitchen that has an open space to the right of the room for a dining table to be positioned in front of the French patio doors.

The kitchen has a fitted suite with integrated chest height double oven, electric four-ring hob and an under counter refrigerator. There is also the central heating combi-boiler. A door to the left of the kitchen leads through to the utility room. The utility room has tiling to the floor and to the lower half of the walls as it has been used for dog grooming by the owners previous to the current owner. From the utility room there are doors leading out to the rear garden and forwards to the rear of the garage.

Moving upstairs, the first floor comprises of three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) and a family bathroom that all lead from the landing. The landing has a side window to allow natural light and a storage cupboard. All three bedrooms have built in storage cupboards, with the master bedroom having and open wardrobe. The family bathroom is a pleasant suite with a shower fitted over the bath, wash basin and toilet. As mentioned at the top, from the front bedrooms there are delightful views over Rugeley with St Joseph & St Etheldreda Church in the distance.

Transport links

Etching Hill is a short drive from the A460, which was formerly the A51 before a bypass was created around the North-East of the town and named as the new stretch of the A51, benefitting residents by removing heavy traffic travelling through Rugeley. The A51 leads north-west from Rugeley towards Stoke, M6 North and Stafford (A513) and south-east toward Lichfield, whereas the A460 leads to Cannock, Walsall and the M6 South.

A short journey across Rugeley will bring viewers to Rugeley Trent Valley Train Station which has hourly trains to London as well as a regular service to Birmingham via Walsall & Cannock (the Chase Line). Closer to the property is Rugeley Town Train Station, which is within a decent walk and forms part of the Chase Line.

Bus users will be delighted that a regular bus service to Rugeley Town centre is available from Crabtree Way, the road from which Highland Way branches. The service is part of the 826 route from Lichfield to Stafford.

Schools & amenities

The property is within a mile of the nearest secondary school, The Hart School which is 0.7 miles away. There are three nearby primary schools with Etching Hill Primary (0.2 miles), Forest Hill (0.3 miles) and The John Bamford School (0.4 miles). This information has been researched via the Staffordshire County Council website however we recommend that parents make their own enquiries before confirming catchment.

On nearby Springfield Road is a Co-operative convenience store, perfectly located for a dash out for a loaf of bread or pint of milk. The Town Centre is either a short drive or decent walk and includes many famous and independent stores. There are also three major supermarkets in Rugeley (Tesco, Morrisons & Aldi).
