Summary
This exceptional home has been completely transformed by the current owners to create a stunning, ‘move in ready’ property perfectly suited to modern living. At its heart lies an incredible kitchen/dining room extension, thoughtfully designed with a striking vaulted ceiling, underfloor heating and bespoke triple glazed Crittall-style external doors. Further notable features include two living rooms - one featuring a charming log burner - a sumptuous bathroom and a substantial rear garden. The property is located in the sought after area of Cofton Hackett, within walking distance to the renowned 'Lickey Hills' and 'Cofton Park' as well as benefitting from easy access to Barnt Green, the regenerated Longbridge retail village and motorway network.
Description
The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, offering ample space for hanging coats and access to a convenient understairs guest WC. The elegant living room sits to the front of the property and features a decorative arched fireplace as its focal point, complemented by bespoke cabinetry and shelving fitted within the alcoves to either side.
From the hallway, the home opens into the truly exceptional extended kitchen/dining room - a spectacular space designed for modern family life and entertaining. A vaulted ceiling with Velux windows enhances the sense of light and volume, while a polished concrete floor with wet underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort. Industrial-inspired touches include an exposed brick wall and visible RSJ, perfectly paired with a bespoke triple-glazed Crittall-style window and two matching doors that open directly onto the garden. The high-quality kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, extractor fan (with range cooker available by separate negotiation), space for an American-style fridge/freezer, and a breakfast island with statement pendant lighting above.
Adjoining the kitchen is a cosy lounge featuring an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner set within - an inviting retreat that complements the sociable open-plan space. The kitchen also provides access to the garage storage, which offers space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The first floor continues to impress with high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms. There are two sizeable double bedrooms, both boasting cast iron decorative fireplaces and bespoke fitted wardrobes, alongside a versatile single bedroom ideal as a nursery or home office. The sumptuous family bathroom is beautifully finished, complete with a walk-in shower, freestanding bathtub and sleek black fittings for a contemporary edge.
Accessed via Bedroom Two by a pull-down ladder, the insulated and boarded loft room benefits from a Velux window and lighting, providing excellent additional storage or hobby space.
Outside
The generous rear garden features a block-paved patio ideal for outdoor dining, steps leading down through planted borders to a substantial lawn with hedged and fenced boundaries, a large covered pergola and a shed beyond. To the front, a driveway provides parking for two vehicles, and the garage storage is accessible via double doors.
Location
Cofton Hackett is an ancient settlement mentioned in historical documents dating back to 780 AD and in the present day provides a wide range of local amenities including an 18 hole golf course, two churches, village hall, easy access to local schools as well as a popular public house 'The Oak Tree' and Sunday lunch at 'The Old Rose and Crown' hotel. Ashmead Drive itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods and 135 Acre Cofton Park (located directly opposite the property).
The bordering village, Barnt Green, is located approximately 2 miles away and offers everyday shopping facilities, doctor's surgery, several dentists, the ever-popular Grade II listed 'Barnt Green Inn' and railway station (direct to Birmingham New Street). There are also many sporting facilities including a renowned sports club (one of the leading racquet clubs in the country), cricket club, sailing and many other clubs and societies. No more than 2 miles away is the recently regenerated Longbridge site (former MG Rover car plant), home to the largest Marks and Spencers in the Midlands. Access to the M42 is just 4 miles away and the M5 around the same distance.
