Seller Insight This very attractive and beautifully presented family home, which was built in the mid 1950s, enjoys a superb location

close to the heart of Sutton Coldfield. “It was the quality of the schools in the area that originally brought us here almost 23 years ago,” says Lesley, “and when we happened upon this house, for us as a family it just seemed to tick all the boxes. We’re also close to Sutton Park, which is a nice place to cycle or just take a gentle stroll.”

Each of the rooms within this home is generously proportioned, and the layout of the house as a whole is ideally suited to modern family living. “The property had been extended by the previous owners years before we purchased it, but during our time here, as our family grew, we too have increased it in size by converting the loft and adding another side extension. There’s now a lovely feeling of space throughout, and as some of the rooms have an almost open-plan feel.”

“As well as increasing the size of the house, we’ve also tried to keep everything very much up to date and in good working order, so we had it re-wired, fitted new windows, updated the bathroom and just three years ago we had a lovely new kitchen with bespoke units and granite worktops installed. We’ve also kept the decor in extremely good order, so the whole house is in really great condition.”

“Both the sitting room and the self-contained annex open onto a lovely patio area, which has the feeling of a courtyard,” says Lesley. “Beyond the patio is a generous lawn and a path that leads to another seating area with a pretty pergola, which is a nice place to sit with a cup of coffee as it catches the morning sun. It’s a beautiful garden and extremely peaceful, so much so that when you sit out you almost feel as if you’re in the middle of the countryside.”

“My favourite room in the house is most definitely the formal sitting room. It has a big bay window that lets in lots of light, an open fire that’s gorgeous in winter. We actually designed the furniture to fit the space and chose colours that are mellow, warm and inviting. In 2011 we had a spacious annex built for my mother-in-law,” continues Lesley, “which is in keeping with the style of the main house. It’s totally self contained and even has access to the front of the property, so there are endless possibilities for its use.”

These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.

There are three double bedrooms on the first floor with a fourth bedroom and lounge area on the second floor.

A designer style reconstituted stone bath with waterfall tap is the main feature of the very smart family bathroom with large shower and granite vanity unit.

A delightful mature, private garden boasts two patio areas, the block paved pathway transports you to an oasis with pergola and small pond, perfect for that evening gin and tonic.

The self contained studio has separate access via intercom, with wetroom, a small American style fitted kitchen and both internet and telephone line. One would expect to achieve in excess of £400 per month should you wish to rent this but it would provide a great space for additional family accommodation or independent work space.

SUTTON COLDFIELD

A green and pleasant suburb, just eight miles from the city centre of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield is famed for its beautiful park and nature reserve. At 2,224 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country. A site of Special Scientific interest, it provides habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife.

A former borough town, Sutton Coldfield is the largest place to shop and relax within Birmingham outside of the city centre. There are three distinct shopping environments provided by the Red Rose Centre, The Mall and New Hall Walk, which brings ‘out of town’ shops into the heart of Sutton Coldfield. With a broad range of High Street names located on The Parade there is something for everyone.

There are ample swimming and dry sports facilities at Wyndley Leisure Centre, a short walk from the town centre, as well as a feast of cultural, hobby or interest groups on offer throughout the area. You could try your hand at sailing at Powells’ Pool or enjoy a round of golf – the Sutton Coldfield circuit is truly excellent! With four private golf courses set within the constituency boundary and two additional municipal golf courses, there is something here for the keen golfer, no matter what your handicap. The schooling in the area is fantastic with grammar and private schools all within easy reach.

The town centre is located on the A5127, approximately 7 miles north of Birmingham city centre. It can also be approached from the A38 exit Minworth or Bassetts Pole as well as junction 9 of the M42. Various local train stations provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Lichfield.

BIRMINGHAMLying at the seat of England’s industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City” is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library.

Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols.

Alongside outstanding museums and galleries you’ll find an increasing number of gastronomic restaurants, cool and/or secret cocktail bars and picturesque canals with waterside bars, restaurants, attractions and cruises. Thriving legacies of Birmingham’s industrial heritage include its Jewellery Quarter, Cadbury manufacturing plant and a former custard factory that’s been transformed into a cutting-edge creative hub.

With construction on the High Speed Rail (HS2) line – connecting London with Birmingham in just 45 minutes by 2026 – set to boost employment and the economy, ‘Brum’, as it’s dubbed by locals, is buzzing.
