Introduction & Exterior
This fabulously presented home on the popular Abbots Gate development in Glascote, Tamworth will prove extremely popular amongst families seeking plenty of reception space and those who like to entertain. The property is set back from a service driveway at the end of Cleeve, where there is off-road parking for two cars and potential for a third. This is due to there being a pleasant synthetic lawn garden to the left with gravel patch and shrubbery that enhances the initial presentation.
A secure gated passage to the right side of the house continues through to the rear garden. Those who like to relax outdoors will fall in love with the stunning wooden gazebo fixed to the full width of the rear of the house with decking laid underneath. The garden is low maintenance with a large patch of synthetic lawn surrounded by bark, further decking and raised plant boxes. In the far-right corner of the garden is another patch of synthetic lawn for those who prefer to sit in the sun during the summer. Furthermore, an eye-catching addition is an outdoor bar at the centre-rear.
Ground Floor
Guests enter the home through a generous porch that is ample for removing coats and shoes before moving through to a long hallway with large gloss floor tiling. Viewers will also note the attractive, good-quality internal doors that have glass panels. These lead off to the kitchen, family room and double doors through to the lounge. Immediately to the right is a door for the guest WC which includes a wash basin. Viewers’ attention will also be drawn to the fabulous, plush leopard-print carpet laid to the staircase.
The leopard-print carpet continues into the generous lounge that has a bay window at the front. This not only allows in plenty of natural light but allows for a large sofa suite to be positioned around the modern, wall-mounted fireplace. The family room on the opposite side of the hallway is converted from the garage and is a superb length secondary reception room that is tastefully decorated.
The final room on the ground is the sensational kitchen with dining space. The dining area was originally a separate room that led from the lounge; however, this connection has been smartly closed off with glass bricks to keep the lounge private and to allow for a large eight-seater dining table to be positioned. French doors open out to the sheltered decking and there is also a tall, wall mounted radiator in the dining area.
The kitchen suite is mounted to the right side of the room and includes a stylish hi-gloss suite with laminated stone-effect work surfaces. Integrated within the suite is an electric oven with hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, and a composite 11⁄2 bowl sink with drainer. There is also clear space for a washing machine, with plumbing. Access to a deep understairs cupboard is found beside the entrance to the kitchen.
First Floor
Viewers arrive at the landing with doors leading off to all five bedrooms and the family shower room. There is also a hatch above to access a large, insulated loft space. The shower room has an attractive suite that includes a tall shower cubicle that includes Bluetooth connectivity, and a row of units that include the wash basin and toilet. Behind the door to the shower room is a chrome heated towel rail.
The bedrooms comprise of three doubles and two singles. Bedrooms one, three and five located left of the stairwell are part of the original build. Bedroom one has a glorious set of wardrobes at the rear of the room. Bedroom Five is currently arranged as a dressing room and has a cupboard positioned above the stairwell that houses the central heating boiler.
To the right of the staircase is the extension which includes bedrooms two and four, a double and single bedroom respectively. Bedroom two is an impressive size and includes access to its own en suite bathroom. This fetching white suite has a large bathtub with central taps, toilet, wall mounted heated towel rail and a pedestal wash basin. The tiling around the bath includes a trendy mosaic design.

Transport links
The Abbots Gate development is located off the Glascote Road (B5000) which links between Tamworth centre and Polesworth, passing through Glascote where there is a junction down to the A5. This makes ease for connecting to the M42 and A38 for commuting to places such as Birmingham, Lichfield, Nottingham and Nuneaton to name a few. Those who don’t mind walking will enjoy a 20-30 minute walk to the Town Centre & Train Station, depending on pace.
For trains, Tamworth railway station is a major split level platform station operating on both the West Coast Main Line and Cross Country Line. This provides excellent access to major cities within mainland UK such as Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Nottingham and Liverpool to name a few.
Bus users will be delighted that a regular circular bus service to Tamworth town centre has stops on Glascote Road. This service runs up at least five times per hour on weekdays. Many further destinations are then available from Tamworth to places such as Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Burton on Trent to name a few.
Schools & amenities
Parents will be delighted that, according to the Staffordshire Schools website, both catchment schools are well within a mile of this home. The secondary school catchment is listed as Tamworth Enterprise College which is a 0.85 miles walk or drive away. The Primary School is even closer, as William MacGregor Primary is only 0.28 miles away. As with all areas, there are other local schools and it is highly recommended that you check with the local authority to confirm catchment.
Amenities wise, at the beginning of the development, there is a Co-operative convenience store just across the canal off the Glascote Road. For a larger shop, Tamworth has a plethora of supermarkets and retail parks which are all within a 5-10 minute journey - the closest being a recently opened Aldi, also on the Glascote Road
As with the majority of Tamworth, you are never far from a designated walkway and cycle path leading toward the town centre. The canal mentioned above is the Coventry which runs along the side of the estate providing more scenic walking. Tamworth is also home to the historic Castle as well as the Snowdome, Leisure Centres, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other places of interest.
