Set on a large plot in the hamlet of Hints, this four-bedroom detached home offers spacious family accommodation and direct countryside views to the front. The layout includes three reception rooms, a separate utility, and an integral double garage, giving flexible living and practical storage. Mature gardens and a woodland backdrop provide privacy and a rural feel while remaining within convenient reach of Tamworth and the M6 Toll.
The property is being sold by the Secretary of State for Transport following HS2 acquisition and is approximately 846m from the line; sale conditions include restrictions relating to future compensation claims. The house is heated by an oil-fired boiler, has double glazing installed before 2002, and shows an EPC figure cited in the listing with scope for improvement.
Internally the home suits a growing family: generous reception space, a study/dining room, and four bedrooms (one used as a dressing room). There is a single family bathroom only, so buyers wanting en-suite facilities should plan modifications. Council Tax is Band F and crime levels are described as above average for the area, both relevant to budget and location choice.
Practical extras include off-street parking, an integral double garage (potential for conversion subject to consent), fast broadband availability, and easy road links to Tamworth and Birmingham. The open house is scheduled for Saturday 22 November 2025, 11am–12noon (advance registration required).
