Description
This beautifully presented home offers thoughtfully arranged accommodation with a wonderful sense of flow throughout the ground floor. An enclosed porch opens into an inviting entrance hall, featuring an understairs guest WC and a stained-glass window above the staircase. From here, there is access to the open-aspect kitchen/dining room, which enjoys views over the rear garden and a wood-burning stove set within an attractive arched chimney breast. The kitchen also provides internal access to the garage. Double doors from the hall lead into the charming and generously proportioned lounge, showcasing exposed wooden flooring, an exposed brick feature wall and a further wood-burning stove set into an arched chimney breast. From the lounge, double doors open into a centrally heated conservatory with direct access to the garden, which in turn loops back through to the kitchen - creating a seamless and sociable layout where the entire ground floor links effortlessly.
To the first floor, a spacious landing - large enough to accommodate a home office area - leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which features a striking exposed brick wall and a period decorative fireplace. There is also a sizeable single bedroom and a large, modern yet traditionally styled bathroom, complete with a freestanding claw-foot bath and a separate corner shower cubicle.
Outside
Externally, the west facing rear garden enjoys an initial patio area, steps leading up to a lawn with fenced boundaries, mature shrubs to the borders, and a useful door providing access to the rear of the garage. Side access is available along one side of the property. To the front, there is a driveway offering tandem parking leading to the garage, alongside a generous area of lawn.
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Cofton Hackett is an ancient settlement mentioned in historical documents dating back to 780 AD and in the present day provides a wide range of local amenities including an 18 hole golf course, two churches, village hall, easy access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. Chestnut Drive itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods and 135 Acre Cofton Park.
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.
