A substantial detached cottage set behind a private gated driveway on an enormous plot of grounds approaching two acres. The house combines period redbrick character with generous, significantly extended accommodation: three reception rooms, a large open-plan breakfast kitchen with underfloor heating and bifold doors, plus utility and guest cloakroom for practical family living.
The first floor houses four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes extensive fitted wardrobes, a luxury ensuite and a private balcony with views over neighbouring greenbelt fields. Outside, meticulously maintained formal gardens, a pond with summerhouse, large lawns and established herbaceous borders create a private, tranquil setting rarely found so close to local amenities.
Practical positives include off-street parking, double and single garages, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold and located in an affluent, low-crime area with highly regarded local schools and good transport links into Solihull and Birmingham.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: the EPC rating is E, the cavity walls are understood to be uninsulated as-built, and the glazing install date is unknown. The house dates from the 1930s so ongoing maintenance and garden upkeep for the large plot will be a factor. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are important considerations alongside the home’s clear character and space advantages.
