Woodside Grange - Fine & Country West Midlands

Woodside Grange Woodside Drive | Little Aston Park | Sutton Coldfield

WOODSIDE GRANGE This spacious, detached house was built approximately 20 years ago. Approached via a small private road, it has a large gated driveway providing parking for 10 plus cars. Neighbouring open farmland provides spectacular views not ordinarily enjoyed by properties on Little Aston Park.

This property is in a wonderfully secluded location, with an electric gated entrance and approached from a small private road off Walsall Road. Lawns and mature trees accentuate the impressive entrance to this property. It also offers CCTV, anti-ram bars and security linked independent alarms.

A magnificent galleried hallway with oak staircase offers access to four reception rooms, a large recently fitted breakfast kitchen with Aga and a Victorian-style conservatory overlooking the mature rear garden.

There is a cosy but elegant drawing room with fireplace and gas coal effect fire. A square walk-in bay and rear French doors provide lots of light to this room.

There is an additional sitting room with French doors leading to rear garden patio and feature fireplace making it a perfect morning room or cosy evening retreat.

A smaller reception room at the front of the property is a perfect study or music room.

There is also an extremely spacious dining room which will easily accommodate dining for ten people.

The recently fitted contemporary kitchen is finished to a high standard, complete with central isle housing Belfast sink, a new Aga cooker, polished granite worktops plus integrated dishwasher and microwave.

A door leads to a fitted utility room with garden access and cloakroom.

French doors from the kitchen lead to the delightful centrally heated conservatory with Victorian-style roof and ceramic flooring. A perfect living space for the modern family with access to the rear garden patio and lawns.

Seller Insight This stunning family home enjoys a fabulous setting along a private road on beautiful Little Aston Park. The house is set behind its own private gates and occupies a sizeable acreage of land.

The individually designed house has been constructed to a high specification, but its present owner has undertaken a large project to enhance the house even further including additional comforts and luxuries.

Beautifully tucked away, this property is within easy to reach of both highly rated state and independent schools, together with outstanding sport and leisure facilities, restaurants and bars. Road and rail links are extremely convenient and journeys into London are fast and efficient.

“It was the location of the house and its convenient access to amenities which brought us to view the property. However, on crossing its threshold for the first time, we were immediately impressed with the welcoming, impressive hallway, with its centrally placed staircase leading up to a galleried landing. This set the tone of the house for us as we ventured further and we loved everything about it, particularly its bright and spacious, well-proportioned, rooms. However, since coming to live here, a major enhancement and refurbishment project has taken place and it is now an incredibly comfortable family home and fabulous for entertaining.

I run my business from a spacious office which has been created above the large garage. This has been ideal for me as I am independent from the house, and yet nearby for family needs.”

“I am very proud of the kitchen, which was part of the refurbishment project. I love its clean symmetry but it is a friendly, sociable space.

Double sets of French doors open into the enormous conservatory, which provides space for dining or relaxation. The whole area is fabulous for entertaining, particularly in summertime, when all the doors are open wide and guests can spill out onto the patio.”

“The spacious garden is mainly laid to lawn but, being screened by several large, protected, trees, gives the garden a woodland setting. It is an incredibly peaceful and tranquil space. My daughter grew up here and it has always been an extremely secure place for her, together with her friends, to play happily and safely wherever they may be in the garden.

This amazing home has now outgrown my family’s requirements and it is now time for others to enjoy a superb quality of life living here.”

The elegant galleried landing is light and spacious giving access to the five bedrooms, a large linen store cupboard and a family bathroom with corner bath, under floor heating and vanity unit with twin basins.

There is a private, well maintained rear garden with mature trees and shrubs, a covered ornamental pool with stream feature and patio areas.

The garden is adjacent to neighbouring farmland.

A Coach House detached triple garage with two electric garage doors boasts a first floor studio which could provide a perfect space for office or games room. It also houses a downstairs WC.

SUTTON COLDFIELD A green and pleasant suburb, just eight miles from the city centre of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield is famed for its beautiful park and nature reserve. At 2,224 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country. A site of Special Scientific interest, it provides habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife.

A former borough town, Sutton Coldfield is the largest place to shop and relax within Birmingham outside of the city centre. There are three distinct shopping environments provided by the Red Rose Centre,The Mall and New Hall Walk, which brings ‘out of town’ shops into the heart of Sutton Coldfield. With a broad range of High Street names located on The Parade there is something for everyone.

There are ample swimming and dry sports facilities at Wyndley Leisure Centre, a short walk from the town centre, as well as a feast of cultural, hobby or interest groups on offer throughout the area. You could try your hand at sailing at Powells’ Pool or enjoy a round of golf – the Sutton Coldfield circuit is truly excellent! With four private golf courses set within the constituency boundary and two additional municipal golf courses, there is something here for the keen golfer, no matter what your handicap. The schooling in the area is fantastic with grammar and private schools all within easy reach.

The town centre is located on the A5127, approximately 7 miles north of Birmingham city centre. It can also be approached from the A38 exit Minworth or Bassetts Pole as well as junction 9 of the M42. Various local train stations provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Lichfield.

Location Little Aston Park is a private residential estate, ranked in the top ten most expensive areas in England and Wales, set in a woodland setting and located approximately 7 miles north of Birmingham between Little Aston and Streetly.

It is one of the most prestigious localities in the Midlands consisting of approximately one hundred multi-million pound individual architect designed houses, centred on the historic rhododendron lined Roman Road.
