Introduction
Positioned on an individual plot on a private drive, this stunning, executive detached family home in Fradley overlooks the Coventry Canal and will prove extremely popular to all viewers. The private drive off Wyndham Wood Close leads to four properties with three along one row and this particular property on its own meaning that there is no right of way across the front for any neighbouring properties. This allows for an abundance of off-road parking to the front and additional garden space, in addition to the wide driveway that precedes the detached double garage that has two manual up-and-over doors.
Ground Floor
Guests enter the home via the composite main front door into a lovely, welcoming hallway with the staircase to the first floor ahead and doors leading off to three reception rooms, the kitchen, and the guest wc with wash basin. The flooring is of high quality, wood-effect laminate and there is a fetching carpet runner leading up the staircase.
The reception rooms comprise of the main lounge to the rear left, dining room to the front left and a snug to the front right. The snug is a popular room to relax for the current owners and this could easily be utilised as a home office. The carpeted dining room is very spacious and can hold a large family dining table as well as other furniture such as cabinets, or as depicted in the photos, a piano.
The lounge is the largest reception room and features a vast open space that is excellently lit naturally by three windows, two to the side and a larger one at the rear. There is a feature gas fireplace fitted between the windows to the left and the floor is covered by a continuation of the laminate flooring from the hallway.
The outstanding kitchen is arguably the best room in the house and doubles up as the fourth reception room with its large, curved, L-shaped central island with electrical socket and circular breakfast bar. This makes the perfect area for guests to enjoy a coffee. The island matches the main kitchen suite by having marble work surfaces and hi-gloss cream surfaces. The suite is fully integrated with double oven, five burner gas hob, dishwasher, deep utility drawers and plenty of unit space. A bay at the rear of the room features French doors leading out to the rear patio.
At the front of the kitchen is an opening through to a matching utility room suite that features a row of hi-gloss units with marble surface incorporating a sink, wine cooler, the gas central heating boiler, washing machine and a perfect recess for an American-style fridge-freezer. An exit door leads out to the driveway to the right.
First Floor
The first-floor landing area is impressively wide and has doors leading off to four bedrooms, including the master bedroom, and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is positioned to the front left of the first floor and is a very generous room with a row of fitted wardrobes and access to a modern en suite shower room. The window to the front of the room has delightful views of the Coventry Canal and in particular the No.90 Bridge. The en suite shower room includes a large double shower cubicle with storm head, toilet, wash basin and a heated towel rail.
The remaining three bedrooms on this floor are all double bedrooms and are positioned at each corner of the house with views of either the canal or rear garden. They each have plenty of electric sockets and space for wardrobes and a double bed.
The family bathroom is an exception suite that feature the rare inclusion of a bidet, as well as bathtub, wash basin, toilet and a separate shower cubicle that is perfectly fitted into a recess to the left. The suite is perfectly complemented by blue tiling to the walls and white floor tiling. The bathroom also features the airing cupboard housing the hot water tank.
Second Floor
The staircase from the first-floor winds over the staircase below to end at a short landing area with doors off to both remaining bedrooms. These are excellent-sized bedrooms with beautiful views of the canal to the front. The bedroom to the left (bedroom two) has a further arched window to the side to allow plenty of natural light as well as a row of fitted wardrobes and access to another stylish en suite shower room. This suite includes a curved shower cubicle, wash basin, toilet, and a heated towel rail.
Rear Garden
Finishing outside, the property comes with a remarkable rear garden. There is lots of ground space as the garden wraps around the rear of the double garage to allow for a patio area that make the perfect place for family barbecues. Most of the garden is laid to lawn with attractive shrubs and flowers to the borders. A second patio area is laid close to the house and provides easy access to the garage side door and the secure gate leading to the driveway. Tall wooden fencing provides the boundaries to maintain privacy.

Transport links
Wyndham Wood Close is located just south of Fradley Village and therefore has quick, easy routes leading to the A38 north via the village and there is an alternative route to the A38 via Fradley South and Fradley Park. The A38 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 five to ten-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 Turnbull Road (from which Wyndham Wood Close begins) and provides a regular service in both directions.
Schools & amenities
According to the Staffordshire Schools website, the catchment secondary school for this home is Friary High School, Lichfield which is over three miles away however, fear not, there is a free school bus service provided. The catchment primary school located in Fradley Village is St Stephens Primary and is a short walk from the home, by the side of St Stephens Church and Fradley Village Hall. Parents will be delighted that both homes hold a Good (2) rating from their latest Ofsted assessments. Although we have researched this information, parents are advised to confirm catchment via the local authority.
A short distance from the property is a row of shops and businesses that include a gym, convenience store, pharmacy, and takeaway outlets. There is also a coffee shop and all of these are well within walking distance along Common Lane. Again, close to the property, there is a lovely, enclosed play area for young children that is found along nearby Worthington Road.

Here there are plenty of famous and independent stores, along with a plethora of supermarkets including a large Waitrose in Darwin Park.
