## Description

Enjoying a charming setting on this little known cul de sac tucked away at the end of Christchurch Lane, Saxon Walk is perfectly positioned to take advantage of both Lichfield's amenities and the adjacent Leomansley Woods - perfect for dog walking and enjoying the countryside. Available with the benefit of no upward chain this beautifully presented dormer style bungalow offers an extended accommodation layout which takes advantage of its generous corner plot. The gardens extend to three sides of the bungalow and have been immaculately maintained with neatly trimmed hedges and well stocked borders. Lichfield cathedral city centre is around a mile away where a broad choice of shopping and leisure facilities are available. The location is perfect for jumping onto the excellent road and rail networks which surround Lichfield. To fully appreciate the property, which is available with the benefit of no upward chain, an early viewing would be strongly recommended.
