7 bedroom semi-detached house

Located just a short distance from the amenities of Burton town centre is this attractive and substantial Victorian property. Originally constructed in circa 1860, one former notable resident is Charles Arthur Tresise, who resided at the property with his family in the late 1800's to early 1900's. Charles Tresise was a local business owner as well as a Mayor and Alderman of Burton. His name can be seen prominently displayed on the foundation stone of Burton Magistrates Court, on Horninglow Street.

The main entrance door opens into the expansive hallway where the eye is immediately drawn to the charming stained glass window to the side aspect and its original Minton tile flooring that runs through.
From here, a staircase rises to the first floor and doors lead off to the various downstairs rooms including cloakroom with low level WC and stylish hand wash basin.
The first of the reception rooms is the dining room with exposed floorboards, a double glazed bay window as well as a beautiful fireplace and surround. There is characterful coving to the ceiling which is also present in the adjacent lounge where the exposed floorboards continue and there is also a brick-backed fireplace with multi fuel stove in addition to two central heating radiators.
Continuing through, the entrance hallway gives access to the kitchen/diner. Having been refitted to match the character of this home, there is wood eye and base level units with work surfaces over. Along with the quarry tiled floor, the chimney breast is the focal point - with exposed brickwork hosting the range cooker. There is ample storage with both a generous cupboard space and separate larder.
The utility has been created by the current owners, having previously been the kitchen for the property. It has further storage units, work surface and undercounter appliance space, a sink unit and external access door leading out to the rear garden.
Under the stairs, there is a door leading down to the cellar, which provides a useful storage space.

The first-floor hosts four of the seven bedrooms, all being generously sized. To this floor, there are three which incorporate a charming fireplace in keeping with the age of the property. The largest of the four is currently utilised as a dance studio, but maintains the characterful coving found elsewhere in the house.
Also on this floor, the refitted bathroom beautifully blends traditional with contemporary, with part tiling to the walls, a freestanding roll top bath and shower over, low level WC, hand wash basin and radiator with towel rail.

The second-floor hosts three further double bedrooms, with bedroom six hosting a charming period built in wardrobe and drawer unit.
There is another bathroom to this floor, offering both a freestanding bath – positioned beneath a skylight – a separate walk-in shower cubicle with wall mounted shower unit, a WC and wash hand basin. Subway style tiles with contrasting grout create a feature wall and there is also a heated towel rail.

The property itself is set back from the road with a tarmac and gravel frontage providing ample off-road parking for several cars. The beautifully landscaped gardens have created several distinct spaces, including a patio with ample space for entertaining guests, a decked area with space for a hot tub, a pond and a further sheltered seating area. There are brick-built outbuildings providing storage, and gated side access to the driveway.

Famed for its proud brewing history, the market town of Burton-on-Trent is located in the West Midlands, benefiting from a well equipped town centre, coupled with idyllic surrounding villages and countryside. Positioned within walking distance of the superb range of shops, cafes and leisure facilities, there are also riverside walks nearby, with the Washlands providing open green space. Transport links aren't a problem, with the property being on a bus route and just a short drive from the A38, providing easy access north and south to the cities of Lichfield and Derby and beyond.
