SELLER INSIGHT We liked the modern feel of the property as soon as we saw it, and could see the potential to really make it our own,” say the current owners of 29d Hartopp Road. “All the rooms are generously proportioned, especially the large lounge and master suite, so it was a good fit for our family of three teenagers. The angle at which the house sits on Hartopp Road was appealing too, this being the only property on the road angled with the front elevation facing south.” Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We converted the attic, creating another bedroom and en suite, and also extended the kitchen internally by incorporating the laundry room. Plus, we created a useable space in the back room, in addition to a laundry area and a separate study area. Other improvements have included modernising throughout; creating a Jack & Jill bathroom; sound proofing between floors; and fitting a log burner in the large lounge.” “Outside, we extended the patio and improved the fish pond,” the owners continue. “We installed an African hut, too, which we refurbished a couple of years ago - the children have made great use of this for teenage gatherings and parties over the years. The garden is large and enjoys patches of sun, and is surrounded by mature trees which make it very private. A particular favourite feature is our very own wooded copse, which enhances the feelings of peace and tranquillity this property affords. The gardens are perfect for al fresco entertaining too - we held our daughter’s hen party in a large marquee on the lawn last summer.” The location of the property also has much to recommend it. “There are state and private schools nearby for all ages and the private schools that are further away, like Solihull and Lichfield Cathedral School, run bus services for school children from the estate. Mere Green shopping area is just 20 minutes’ walk away, with numerous restaurants and an M&S food hall,” the owners say. “There are tennis and squash clubs on the estate, and we have the largest enclosed park in Europe (Sutton Park) very close by, through which we can stroll into Sutton Coldfield. There are excellent transport links nearby too, with the Cross-city train (Lichfield to Redditch via Birmingham) running trains every 15 minutes.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
