Property description
INTRODUCTION Raymond Avenue is a real gem of a property, tucked away on a side road off the Walsall Road in Great Barr. Don't let the bungalow exterior fool you, this residence is as comfortable being a home for a family as it is for a retired couple. The current owners have undertaken a significant programme of improvement works and the property now has sumptuous contemporary interiors including a refitted kitchen and bathroom and a fantastic extended living room with a picture window that overlooks the delightful rear garden. To the rear is a triple garage, which is divided into a double and a single - an ideal area for those whom like to have a workshop or those that work within the trade.
LIVING AREAS The property is entered via a sizeable side extension, which makes a wide, welcoming entrance lobby, with French doors to the front and a further door leading to the garden at rear. This area also doubles as a utility, having an extensive range of fitted storage cupboards. Leading off the entrance lobby is an inner hall, which gives access to the bedrooms, living room and bathroom also has a hatch to the loft space which is partly boarded. The reception area is one of the main features of the property, a glorious living / dining room that offers some 25' in length of family living space. Features of the room are the coal effect gas fire, door out to the side to a small patio area, surprisingly high ceiling and the fabulous picture window overlooking the garden, which when teamed with a coffee table makes for a lovely area to sit and relax in. The kitchen has a fabulous range of refitted units including wall and base units, two double fan assisted ovens, plumbing for washing machine or dishwasher, 1 and 1/4 sink with mixer tap, 5 ring "gas on glass" hob with chimney style glass and stainless steel cooker hood, and a door out to a decked area with steps to the patio.
BEDROOM AND BATHROOM AREA All 3 bedrooms are of a double size, a real rarity for a property of this style, meaning the bedrooms could be set up in all manner of different ways i.e. using one as a study, playroom or home office. Bedroom 1 is decorated in warm colours, while bedroom 2 has a neutral contemporary feel. Bedroom 3 is currently used as a games room, showing that this property is ideal for not only a couple but also a family as well. The bathroom has a refitted suite of WC, wash basin, bath with mixer tap and shower hose over, walk in shower cubicle and feature flooring.
