The property offers generous proportions, an open plan feel to the ground floor, three well proportioned double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. A particular highlight is the magnificent, mature rear garden extending to approximately 39 metres in length, complete with a timber garden office. To the front, a driveway with EV charger and garage provide ample parking and storage, while the top of the road offers immediate access to the beautiful Lickey Hills Country Park.
Description
The property is approached via an entrance hall offering two spacious storage cupboards and access to a particularly generous guest WC, which also contains the combi boiler.
The impressive living room extends to 6.91m (22’7’’) in length and enjoys a dual aspect, creating a wonderfully light and spacious reception room. A gas living flame fire provides an attractive focal point, while double doors open directly onto the patio.
The kitchen/dining room provides a fantastic social space, with ample room for a dining table and chairs alongside a breakfast island. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances including an electric oven, electric hob, extractor fan and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen provides convenient access to the rear garden, while double doors open into the conservatory. Featuring full-length windows, the conservatory enjoys delightful views across the mature garden and provides a lovely additional reception space.
To the first floor, the generous master bedroom enjoys wonderful views over the adjoining woodland, with a glimpse of Cofton Lake visible through the trees. The bedroom is served by an en suite bathroom featuring a Velux window and useful eaves storage. There are two further well proportioned double bedrooms, one benefiting from a bay window with a built-in window seat and fitted wardrobes, while the other also enjoys views of the surrounding woodland. Completing the first floor accommodation is a modern family shower room, fitted with a large walk in shower and Velux window.
Outside
The impressive mature rear garden extends to approximately 39 metres (128 feet) in length and is arranged across a few tiers, creating a variety of spaces to enjoy. Immediately beyond the property is a patio area, with steps leading down to a lawn with mature planting, established trees and a gravelled section with a garden shed. At the bottom of the garden is a hidden 4m x 3.3m timber cabin, offering excellent versatility as a garden office, peaceful seating area or hobbies room.
A gate at the bottom of the garden provides access to the footpath running around Cofton Lake, offering a particularly special opportunity to enjoy peaceful walks in this exceptional setting. Access to the lake and its surrounding footpath is subject to the purchase of a share in the lake.
To the front, a driveway provides off road parking for two vehicles and benefits from an EV charging point, alongside access to the garage, which has a further door opening into the rear garden. A patio area, screened by established shrubs, provides a south facing spot to sit.

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. Reservoir Road itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods (located opposite Reservoir Road) and 135 Acre Cofton Park once visited by Pope Benedict XVI. The bordering village, Barnt Green, is located approximately 1.6 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 3.3 miles away and the M5 around the same distance.
