Seller Insight A quirky, modern red brick detached property in the sought after area of Harborne, Birmingham, this is a unique house with plenty of character. Beautifully designed with bespoke finishing and exquisite attention to detail, the house was meticulously envisioned by specially commissioned architects to the first owners in the mid 1980s, and this personal touch is evident throughout the house, from the elegant curve of arched doorways to the exposed beams and wooden panelling; from red brick interior feature walls and tiled floors to charming rounded windows on the front elevation. “It’s an individual house, quite different to anything else you will find in this area,” says the current owner, “a real stand-alone, unique property.” Though all rooms are bright and airy, the splendid living room with its double height vaulted ceiling is the stand out feature of the house. “The lounge is breathtaking with its double height ceiling and triple aspect making it reminiscent of a modern barn conversion in a city setting.” An open plan dining/breakfast room and stylish fitted kitchen complete the ground floor, with three generously proportioned bedrooms upstairs. Outside, a paved garden provides the perfect space for entertaining, low maintenance yet picturesque with shrub borders and trees. “Inside and out,” says the current owner, “the property offers plenty of space, making it the ideal house for family life as well as for entertaining.” The property is conveniently located in Harborne, said to be the village of Birmingham, with its trendy bars and restaurants complementing a cosy, country feel around St. Peter’s church in the heart of the old village. “It’s a lovely place to live,” says the owner. “There are sports facilities and green park spaces, as well as good local schools and shopping facilities. You don’t need to go into the city - everything is just on your doorstep. However, the centre of Birmingham is not far away for a taste of bigger city life. Local primary schools include Harborne and St Peter’s CofE, as well as Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School and Chad Vale which both received “outstanding” in Ofsted inspections. Local independent schools are very popular for children of secondary school age.” These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.
