Introduction & Exterior This fabulous, modern detached home in Streethay will prove extremely popular to smaller families seeking a place with brilliant reception space, a garage and private rear garden. It will also be of high interest to commuters, and especially those needing to travel to London and Birmingham as it is a close walk to Lichfield Trent Valley Station. The house is set back, from Poplar Road behind a short front lawn with slabbed path leading to the composite front door. The ‘front’ garden for the property is a lawn secluded to the left of the house, whereas the main garden for the house is behind the tall brick wall to the right. Access to the garden from outside is via the three-car tandem driveway beyond the garden, from where there is a secure gate. The driveway precedes a detached single garage that has a manual up and over door to enter, pitched roof for extra storage, and power and lighting.   The garden has been wonderfully maintained and comprises of flagstone and slabbed patio areas with gravel edging, a lawn, and attractive raised plant beds at the end of the garden that are supported by wooden beams. As well as the tall brick wall built to the outer boundaries, a wooden fence is erected between the neighbouring property make this garden lovely and private. Ground Floor Viewers enter this lovely double-fronted building through the central composite front door immediately into a generous hallway which runs through the centre of the ground floor with doors leading off to the lounge, kitchen, and a guest WC with wash basin at the far end. The carpeted staircase is immediately ahead that rises in a straight fashion up to the first floor and has a handy storage cupboard underneath. Just beside the bottom step is a door to enter a magnificent lounge that has a bay window to the side to allow extra light into an already bright room, owing to the front window. It’s worth noting that all exterior doors and windows are double-glazed. The lounge is the largest room in the house, stretching the full length of the building. The kitchen also stretches the full length, being slightly narrower than the lounge but still wide enough to afford a wonderful dining area at the rear of the room. This enables a six-seater dining table to be comfortably positioned beside a set of French doors that open to the patio. The kitchen has a stylish grey, hi-gloss suite fitted around the front of the room that features a range of integrated appliances and a one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer set in front of the kitchen window. The appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, four-burner gas hob, extractor fan, chest height fan assisted oven and a washing machine. First Floor As viewers make their to the first floor, they arrive at a wide landing that has doors, leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and another storage cupboard, this time housing the gas combination boiler. The master bedroom is positioned at the front-left of the first floor and is the largest of the three bedrooms, comfortably holding a king sized bed and space for a large wardrobe. To the front-right of the bedroom is access to an en suite shower room which has a shower cubicle, wall-mounted wash basin, toilet and radiator.  The remaining bedrooms are a comfortable double bedroom and a generous single bedroom with recess, that could be perfect as a home office. The family bathroom has another attractive suite that includes a large bathtub with central mixer tap, a wall-mounted wash basin, toilet, and a radiator behind the door.

This is to be confirmed by solicitors although we believe this to be around £260 per annum. TRANSPORT LINKS Cathedral View is located in Streethay just off the A5127 Burton Road. The A5127 leads to Lichfield City Centre in the west and the A38 north in the east, which leads directly to Burton on Trent and Derby. Taking Cappers Lane from the main roundabout at nearby Trent Valley will provide access to the A38 south (for Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield) as well as rural routes and the A51 to Tamworth. Eastern Avenue is a bypass which navigates around half the circumference of Lichfield, and therefore provides good access to the A51 north to Rugeley & Stafford. There is a regular bus service to Lichfield City Centre Bus Station opposite the property, which leads to Burton on Trent in the opposite direction. The bus station provides links to all of the above destinations as well as places beyond Lichfield to the west including Walsall, Brownhills, Burntwood & Cannock. Perfect for longer distance commuters, the property is located within walking distance of 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. SCHOOLS & AMENITIES With Lichfield being one of the smallest cities in the UK, the majority of homes are within walking distance to the centre, where there are plenty of famous and independent stores.

Lichfield is well served by supermarkets from higher end places such as Waitrose at Darwin Park and the large Co-op store in Boley Park, as well as your more mainstream stores such as Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi, B&M and Food Warehouse, all within a short drive. Even closer to the property on the development is a co-operative, along with a Dominos, Fish & Chip shop, beauty salon, and a Bod café & wine bar.
