Summary - 40 Lickey Rock, Marlbrook B60 1HF
Approximately 2 acres of mature gardens, meadow, pond and woodland
Set within about two acres of mature gardens and woodland, this four-bedroom detached cottage combines spacious family living with wide-ranging outdoor space. The house offers two large reception rooms, a modern fitted breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances, separate utility, and a dual-aspect first-floor bedroom with en-suite that could work as a self-contained suite. From the lounge a covered veranda and patio look over sweeping lawns, a wildlife pond, meadow pathway and elevated countryside views.
The property sits in a desirable, very low-crime area with good access to the M42 and M5 and nearby rail links into Birmingham — convenient for commuting while retaining a rural character. Schools rated Good are close by, and local shops, GP services and public transport are within easy reach. Off-street parking for several cars is provided via the driveway and gated entrance.
Important factual points: the house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (no known built-in insulation), double glazing of unknown age, and mains gas boiler with radiators. Services, appliances and heating have not been tested and should be verified by a buyer or surveyor. Council Tax Band F applies and running costs should be considered given the property's size and age.
This home will appeal to families who value space, established gardens and countryside views, and to buyers looking for an attractive, move-in-ready property with scope to improve energy efficiency. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and layout; purchasers seeking a fully modernised, highly insulated dwelling should factor potential upgrades into their plans.
