As viewers make their way into the home, they will be taken back immediately by a stunning hallway that has a tall ceiling all the way to the first floor with a feature chandelier and upper level window providing extra natural light to the entrance. It’s worth noting that all windows and exterior doors are double-glazed. From here there is a grand staircase leading up to the first floor gallery landing, as well as three sets of French doors to access the lounge, dining room and kitchen. There is also a single door for a welcome guest wc that also features a wash basin and a handy storage cupboard.

The lounge is positioned to the left of the home and stretches the full length of the building with a large bay window to the front. The room is so large that the new owners can position a full-sized sofa suite and still have plenty of space for a study area to the rear of the room where there is the first of three sets of patio doors leading out to the rear garden. Next to the lounge is the dining room which is large enough to hold an eight-seater dining table with ease. As well as a set of patio doors to the garden, the dining room also has a door opening to the kitchen.

Moving into arguably the best room in the house, the kitchen with open plan family room is quite simply sensational. The kitchen is in the original part of the house and has a range of stylish fitted units including a large console with a snug space for an American-style fridge-freezer to be positioned. Other features of the suite include a sink set into the protruding unit in the centre of the kitchen, a five-burner gas hob, chest height double oven, and a breakfast bar. At the front of the kitchen is a door into a matching utility room suite with clear spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer, whilst also housing the system boiler.

An opening from the kitchen allows passage into the extension; a glorious family room that boasts a vaulted ceiling with four skylights, a set of French doors opening out to the patio and two further windows on the far wall. The family room is a vast space that is effectively a second lounge and is perfect for entertaining family and guests throughout the year.

First Floor

Moving upstairs, the lovely gallery landing branches off to two short corridors with doors opening to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The larger two bedrooms are to the right side of the house with bedroom one at the front, bedroom two at the rear and the family bathroom in between at the far right. The airing cupboard featuring the hot water tank is also to the right.

Bedroom One begins with a fabulous dressing area featuring two-and-a-half fitted wardrobes before expanding to a huge bedroom area. As there are wardrobes in the dressing area, the main bedroom is an incredible open space for just a bed therefore the new owners have plenty of options for other furniture such as a sofa and other side boards. To the rear of the bedroom is a doorway through to an en suite shower room that includes a large cubicle with storm shower, a long unit with two wash hand basins, two back-lit mirrors, a towel radiator, and a toilet.

Bedroom four to the rear is a similar sized bedroom to bedroom three, except it is without fitted wardrobes. As shown in the pictures, bedroom five is set out as a study but is the size of a small double bedroom or large single depending on the new owner’s preference. Finally for the interior, the property has a huge loft space for extra storage.

Transport links

Edwards Farm Road is located in the heart of Fradley Village, the original part of Fradley. The village is located near to the A38 which leads north towards Burton upon Trent and Derby and south towards Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham. Just south of Lichfield there are also links to the A5 and M6 Toll. The M42 at Tamworth is around a 15-20 minute drive away. Furthermore, there are many country short cuts that provide alternative options in rush hour to get to Lichfield.

Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located a short 5-10 minute drive from Lichfield Trent Valley railway station. There are split level platforms as the station is part of both the West Coast Mainline and Cross City Line. This means there is access to major UK destinations such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Manchester to name a few, as well as destinations in the midlands including Sutton Coldfield, Redditch, Atherstone, Nuneaton & Rugby.

The property is well positioned for bus users as the Lichfield to Burton upon Trent route passes along nearby Long Lane and Church Lane and provides a regular service in both directions.
