Description

Presenting a truly remarkable opportunity, this exceptional five-bedroom period house, nestled on the edge of the ever-popular village of Balsall Common, this unique home spans approximately 2,500 square feet and is thoughtfully arranged to suit both family life and entertaining.

From the welcoming entrance hall, you are led into a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, including a drawing room with door leading to an office, and family room which are bathed in natural light and offering tranquil views over the gardens. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited for family gatherings, while a separate lounge provides a cosy retreat for relaxation. From the kitchen you have a useful utility room, and a large studio room.

Four generously sized bedrooms are complemented by two stylish bathrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for all. A standout feature is the self-contained one-bedroom apartment, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or as a potential rental opportunity. The apartment has its own living room, kitchen, shower room and separate w.c. The apartment also has own entrance from the garden, giving the apartment privacy from the main house.

With a chain-free sale and fabulous scope to add your own stamp to the home this is a rare chance to secure a lovely family home with both potential and character.

The outside space is equally impressive, beginning with a substantial driveway that provides ample parking for several vehicles, in addition to a practical car port. The garden is south west-facing garden, which extends to approximately 1.2 acres and offers a haven of peace and privacy.

Mature trees, vibrant planting, and sweeping lawns create a picturesque setting, perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is ample space for adding a swimming pool, tennis court, or landscaped terraces, should you wish to further enhance the grounds.

The property’s position on the outskirts of Balsall Common means you are just moments from the village’s excellent amenities, including highly regarded schools, independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, and train station.

Superb transport links provide easy access to Solihull, Coventry, and Birmingham, ensuring you remain well connected while enjoying the tranquillity of rural surroundings.
