Summary
Nestled along one of Barnt Green's picturesque and sought-after roads - so enchanting it has even inspired its own published book - this striking Edwardian Arts and Crafts family home showcases handsome Tudor Revival elevations and occupies a breathtaking plot of approximately ¾ acre. Surrounded by beautifully established woodland and mature landscaping, the property enjoys an exceptional level of privacy, with wrap around south-east to south-westerly gardens that have been lovingly nurtured by the current owners to create a truly idyllic setting. Two independent driveways serve the property, with one leading to a substantial double garage featuring electric doors and useful first-floor storage rooms above. Despite its wonderfully secluded position, the property remains just moments from the excellent amenities of Barnt Green Village, its train station, highly regarded schools and convenient access to the Midlands motorway network.

Description
A welcoming and exceptionally spacious entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation, centred around an open staircase and flooded with natural light from large windows, including a magnificent picture window framing views of the surrounding woodland. The generous proportions provide ample space for a home office or reading area, creating a wonderfully versatile entrance to the home.

Double doors open into an impressive triple aspect living room, where a contemporary ‘Contura’ wood burning stove forms an attractive focal point. Two sets of double doors positioned either side of the chimney breast seamlessly connect the room to the gardens, creating an ideal space for both everyday family living and entertaining.

Also accessed from the entrance hall is a charming separate sitting room, featuring an outstanding decorative fireplace that perfectly reflects the property's Edwardian heritage. Double doors lead directly onto a secluded patio, providing another peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding gardens.

The country style kitchen is fitted with solid wood cabinetry beneath granite worktops, complemented by a traditional red AGA, a separate electric hob, Belfast sink and an excellent range of storage. The kitchen flows naturally into a delightful dining/family room, with an attractive beamed ceiling and French doors opening directly onto the adjoining patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A practical utility room adjoins the kitchen, providing further storage, external access and a guest WC.

The first floor continues to impress with its high ceilings and abundance of natural light. The spacious landing even retains an original decorative fireplace.

The principal bedroom is approached via a walk-through dressing corridor with beautiful wall mural, perfectly suited for a large full height mirror. The bedroom itself enjoys wonderful elevated views across the gardens and benefits from fitted wardrobes and drawers, thoughtfully designed to create an attractive window seat. Discreetly concealed behind a sliding door within the dressing corridor is a contemporary shower room.

The principal guest bedroom is equally well-appointed, also featuring fitted wardrobes and drawer units with a window seat, together with its own modern en suite shower room. A further generous double bedroom includes a decorative original cast iron fireplace alongside a useful double cupboard housing the hot water cylinder, while the fourth single bedroom, currently arranged as a home office, enjoys delightful garden views and fitted wardrobes.

Completing the accommodation is a beautifully presented traditional family bathroom, fitted with a classic roll-top bath perfectly positioned to enjoy picturesque views, alongside a separate shower enclosure.

Outside
The wrap-around gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Extending to approximately ¾ acre and enjoying a desirable south-east to south-westerly aspect, they provide an exceptional degree of privacy and have been lovingly cultivated to create a series of beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces. Sweeping split-level lawns wrap around the house, complemented by a generous patio nestled between the two levels, surrounded by exquisitely planted borders and productive kitchen planting conveniently located beside the dining room doors. Beyond, a charming lower garden is home to a superb timber greenhouse, an apple tree and a pond, while woodland pathways lead to the rear of the plot where the double garage is discreetly positioned.

The property is approached via two separate driveways located at opposite ends of the plot. The principal driveway provides generous parking immediately in front of the house, while the second leads to a substantial double garage with twin electric doors and staircase access to two excellent first-floor storage rooms above. Beyond the garage, a further area of the garden has been arranged as a vegetable growing and storage area.

Location
