This extensively extended traditional bay-fronted home is positioned on the corner of Castle Road and Westhead Road. The enlarged accommodation provides an excellent balance of living space and bedroom comfort.
On the ground floor, you will find three reception rooms, a conservatory and a generously sized kitchen. Moving upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms served by a family bathroom, with an en-suite shower room to the master. Two of the bedrooms are particularly spacious, setting this property apart from many others. The spacious interior is complemented by a family-friendly rear garden and a six-car driveway to the front, leading to the single integral garage.
Entrance
The property is approached from Castle Road via a substantial tarmacadam driveway, accommodating multiple vehicles and providing access to the garage. The integral single garage, accessed through an up-and-over door to the front, benefits from power and lighting. A glazed front door from the driveway leads to the porch, offering useful space for coats and shoes.
Living Room
Upon entering the house, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors radiating to the living room, kitchen and dining room. The light and airy living room is nicely located at the rear of the ground floor, overlooking the garden. It features a gas fire with surround, a useful decorative recess, bay window to the side and patio doors accessing the rear garden.
Reception Room
To the front of the ground floor is a classic bay-fronted reception room, currently used for dining and centred around an elegant fireplace with an inset gas fire.
Kitchen and Breakfast Area
The generously sized kitchen runs across the back of the house and is partly open plan to a breakfast/dining area, which in turn, opens onto the adjoining conservatory. This space has the potential to be completely open plan if required, providing a user-friendly area catering to living, dining and cooking. The kitchen area has matching wall and base units with under- cupboard lighting, work surfaces with an inset sink drainer, a useful understairs cupboard, plus a ‘Neff ’ oven and hob. An archway leads to the breakfast area, offering plenty of space for living and dining, flowing nicely onto the conservatory.
Conservatory
The conservatory has tiled flooring and French doors leading to the rear garden. Also adjoining the kitchen is a side lobby with doors providing access to the downstairs cloakroom/WC and office.
Office
This spacious and versatile ground floor room, ideal not only as a office but also as an additional bedroom or living room, comprises downlighters, three frosted windows and a light tube.
First Floor
The first-floor accommodation is accessed via a spacious landing with a loft hatch and drop-down ladder.
Bedroom One
This extremely spacious bay-fronted master bedroom features an array of fitted furniture, including mirror-fronted wardrobes, further cupboards and storage, two bedside tables and a dressing table built into the large bay. The owners have modernised the adjoining en-suite shower room, featuring a wall-mounted vanity unit, tiled walls and flooring, downlighters, a towel radiator and a shower cubicle.
Bedrooms Two, Three and Four
The second bedroom is equally as large as the master bedroom, benefiting from a bay window providing pleasant views across the village to neighbouring Kinver Edge. Bedroom three is a double room and bedroom four is a small double or a spacious single room. Both rooms feature lovely views from their windows.
House Bathroom
The well-proportioned house bathroom accommodates both a shower cubicle and corner bath, featuring tiled walls, a low- level WC, a washbasin and a frosted window.
Gardens and Grounds
A user-friendly rear garden completes the package nicely, with the corner position affording a pleasant degree of privacy to this excellent outside space. The rear garden is well-maintained and comprises a spacious block-paved patio perfect for al fresco dining, two side gates and a generously sized lawn with a seating area tucked away in one corner. There is a pergola covering the seating area with a delightful wisteria growing around it. Several mature fruit trees reside throughout the grounds.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange
A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.
The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:
1. Any significant material issues highlighted in a survey that were not evident or drawn to the attention of you the buyer prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.
The reservation fee, equivalent to 0.5% of the accepted offer unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and a positive completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.
Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property.
Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
