The dining room has lots of natural light flooding through from two sets of French doors and a double set of bi-folds leading into the conservatory. The main living room is delightfully decorated in neutral creams and browns and has a superbly large gas inset fireplace with a marble and brick effect surround. The large window overlooking the quiet cul-de-sac to the front has vertical blinds fitted, and the rear of the living room has a set of bi-folding doors leading to the fabulous conservatory, again enhancing the open plan flow of this property. Added to the property fairly recently, the conservatory has very much become part of the hub of the home. Linking the kitchen, dining room and living room together, it is an outstanding construction and hugely enhances the appeal and flow of the downstairs space. Constructed from an olive green aluminium frame with clear glass walls and roof, this wonderful space is enjoyed by the family as a further dining room, living room and garden room. With such a private outlook across the garden and bi-folding doors opening onto the patio, this air conditioned and under floor heated room is enjoyed by the family all year round. One of the most outstanding features of this family home is the beautifully extended and wellappointed open plan family breakfast kitchen. With an exceptionally large range of wall and floor units presented in a high gloss white and silver and a run of high top glass fronted wall cupboards, the contemporary finish sits perfectly next to the beautiful Quartz stone worktops. There is a generous centre island incorporating an inset Miele 5 gas burner with a wok burner, a double Luxair extractor fan above and Blanco double sinks. The kitchen also houses a Miele dishwasher, full height Miele larder fridge and full height freezer together with a bank of ovens including an electric Miele oven, pan warming drawer and microwave/grill. Beautiful wall coverings blend with the modern radiators, and bi-folding doors open the back of the kitchen completely to the rear terrace and gardens.

Seller Insight We were immediately attracted to the location of the property. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, we enjoy a corner position with land to the side and rear of the property,” says the vendor. “We were excited by the potential to extend the property and subsequently increased the floor space by 50% by adding a 2-storey extension to create a fabulous kitchen with bifold doors leading out to the patio, plus two extra bedrooms, both with en suites.” “The location has been fabulous for us as we step out of the front door to a beautifully manicured green area where children can safely play. We are very close to the city centre, Bearwood and Harborne which has a lovely High Street with lots of amenities, shops and bars. The Bullring is just a short drive away and there are plenty of days out for the whole family to enjoy, including day trips to the picturesque Clent Hills, Dudley Zoo and Drayton Manor Park. We’re well situated for easy access to the motorway network, including the M5 and M6.” “The garden catches the sun all day and is very private. It is surrounded by tall fencing and a brick wall at the rear. There is plenty of room to host BBQs and parties, especially when we open the bifold doors from the kitchen and conservatory to create a seamless indoor / outdoor entertaining area.” “We’ve always felt safe living here as nobody comes along the road other than residents, so it is very private. There’s a great sense of community and everyone knows each other which adds to the sense of security, as well as an avid Neighbourhood Watch scheme.” “Our favourite room is the conservatory. It’s always full of light and we use it all year round as the air conditioning keeps it lovely and cool in the summer, whilst the underfloor heating ensures that it is warm in the colder months.” “It’s very safe and quiet here with no through traffic.” “The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. My sister got married in 2001 and there was plenty of room for the wedding guests to stay at the house.” “We have a large family and unfortunately have outgrown the house as we have extended as much as we can. We will miss everything about living in this lovely house, as well as the privacy and friendly neighbourhood community.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
