Seller Insight “The main draw to this house was the outdoor swimming pool.

The house is on a large plot, with a sizeable garden out of the front and back. Our grandchildren get great use of the pool and they don’t have to wait for the hottest days of the year to use it as it’s heated,” say Andrew and Diane.

“The house itself is large as well, in the 30 years that we have lived here we have extended it to include a fifth bedroom, extended the master bedroom and added a conservatory. Around seven years ago we also renovated our lounge, kitchen and dining room to create a great openplan space which is really the hub of the home,” Andrew and Diane continue.

“The house itself is on a nice quiet road of consisting of mainly detached houses and bungalows. The railway station a 20 minute stroll away and good bus transport links to the shops in Solihull even closer, we are also in good proximity to excellent schools” “We really love the open plan lounge, kitchen and diner. We have a big island, making it a very social space both for everyday gatherings and parties.”

“We have a summer house at the end of the garden and the heated pool is a real highlight for the grandchildren. We like to sit on the side with a glass of wine and supervise them playing. We have had lots of great garden parties at the house, as it’s a space that lends itself very well to entertaining and it easily accommodates a lot of guests.

“It has been a great family home and our children have grown up here so it will always hold a lot of memories for us, we will be sad to leave”
