Summary
Set within an exceptionally private plot of approximately 0.5 acres, this substantial residence offers around 4,446 sq ft of highly versatile accommodation, presenting an opportunity to tailor and design to your own specifications. Enjoying elevated views and surrounded by mature, wrap-around gardens, the property provides a peaceful retreat with ample parking and a double garage. The well proportioned layout includes four reception rooms (one of particularly impressive scale with a surrounding balcony and another featuring a large conservatory) alongside a dedicated office, kitchen/diner, utility room, four generous bedrooms, and three bathrooms. A centrally heated lower ground floor offers a self-contained annex space. Ideally positioned opposite the expansive Lickey Hills Country Park and less than a mile from the amenities of Barnt Green village, this home combines space, flexibility, and an enviable setting.
Description
The interior of the property offers an impressive sense of scale and versatility, presenting an excellent opportunity for modernisation and enhancement throughout. An enclosed porch opens into a striking and spacious entrance hall, where a grand double sided staircase creates an immediate focal point. The hall is well equipped with two cloak cupboards, a display alcove, and a guest WC.
From here, the accommodation flows into a substantial triple aspect living room, filled with natural light, with a decorative fireplace and a sliding glazed door opening onto a surrounding balcony that takes full advantage of the elevated position. The entrance hall also leads to a designated office and two further reception rooms - one featuring a decorative fireplace - with both rooms benefitting from sliding glazed doors that open directly onto the garden patio.
The kitchen/diner is fitted with an integrated dishwasher and Rangemaster oven and provides ample space for informal dining, while an adjoining utility room houses the boiler and hot water cylinder within a cupboard and offers convenient side access. A particularly notable feature is the expansive conservatory, accessed from both the hall and the kitchen, providing additional reception space with direct access to the side of the house.
Upstairs, a vast galleried landing - large enough to accommodate a further seating or lounge area - enhances the feeling of openness, complete with a linen cupboard for added practicality. The principal bedroom suite incorporates a walk-through dressing room leading to an en suite bathroom, with the bedroom itself enjoying French doors opening to a Juliet balcony. A second bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room and linen cupboard, while two further bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom featuring a raised sunken tub. Owing to the property’s elevated setting, all bedrooms have been thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the far-reaching views.
Annex
The lower ground floor, accessed from the main hall, offers a centrally heated space currently arranged as annex accommodation. This includes a living area with kitchenette, a shower room, and a large bedroom space, which in turn leads to a garden room (unheated) with direct access out to the garden - ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
Outside
Externally, the property sits within approximately 0.5 acres of wrap-around grounds. The majority of the garden lies to the east, where a multi-level patio with pond descends to a substantial lawn bordered by mature hedging. The patio continues around the property, and the plot also includes an additional area of woodland. To the front, the house is discreetly screened by dense hedging and mature trees. A long, level driveway leads to a detached double garage, while a further section of driveway slopes down towards the house, providing additional parking. Steps from both levels guide you to the front entrance, where the porch is framed by a landscaped garden area.

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, sought after primary school, village hall, popular public house 'The Oak Tree' and Sunday lunch at 'The Old Rose and Crown' hotel. Barnt Green Road itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods (located opposite) and 135 Acre Cofton Park once visited by Pope Benedict XVI. The bordering village, Barnt Green, is located approximately 0.9 miles away and offers everyday shopping facilities, doctor's surgery, several dentists, St Andrews primary school, 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 cricket club, Blackwell Golf 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 3.6 miles away and the M5 around the same distance.
