Description

Paul Carr Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this impressive and beautifully presented five-bedroom detached family home, ideally situated on the highly sought-after Sweetbriar Way in Heath Hayes with no onward chain. Tucked away on a private road, this spacious property offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and practicality.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a generous entrance hallway with a convenient downstairs cloakroom. The ground floor accommodation includes a bright and inviting lounge, a separate dining room, and a conservatory that opens onto the rear garden. At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner, featuring sleek high-gloss cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, granite worktops, a breakfast island, and integrated appliances. A utility area is thoughtfully incorporated into the integral garage, offering further convenience.

Upstairs, the property boasts four generously sized double bedrooms, along with a fifth bedroom which also functions perfectly as a dressing room or home office. The spacious principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, this chain-free property continues to impress. To the front, a stylish imprinted concrete driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the integral garage. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and offers excellent privacy, with a large imprinted concrete patio area ideal for entertaining, a well-maintained lawn, mature planted borders, and secure side gated access.

A superb opportunity to acquire a high-quality family home in a prime location — early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what this home has to offer.
