Seller Insight

Set well back along this quiet, tree lined, picturesque lane, alongside other individually designed, established properties, stands this remarkably beautiful, spacious, three storey, family home. Just a short distance from the town of Solihull, whilst an excellent choice of amenities is on the doorstep.

The house built in the mid 1930s had been the subject of an outstanding modification, refurbishment and enlargement by previous owners and was of enormous attraction for its present owners when they came to view. A family home which offers high levels of practicality teamed with comfort and luxury. Each room has its own individual delight, but there is an excellent sociabl e flow throughout this special home, with its flexible layout offering many options on its uses. However, the kitchen/diner and year round orangery is a special area, and the main hub of day to day family life, and is where family and friends gather to enjoy friendly meals. With its bi-folding doors opening out onto decking, leading into the garden, this fabulous area further extends the living space and is ideal when the owners entertain, whatever season of the year, and whatever the occasion.

The neat, landscaped garden has been given as much care and attention as that of the house and does blend in seamlessly with the main accommodation and, also, offers space for quiet relaxation. After busy days, sitting on the deck with a relaxing drink is very special and certainly a spot on which to recharge the batteries!

It is just a short walk to a parade of shops which has friendly butcher and baker shops, together with a well stocked convenience store. In addition, Solihull is very close and is where there are many delightful restaurants and friendly pubs - also, popular Touchwood Shopping Centre is located here. There is an excellent choice of education opportunities within easy reach, as are a variety of sport and leisure pursuits, with Olton Golf Course being just a four minute walk away from the house. Easy access to Birmingham Airport, Olton railway station and the M42 ensure that travel is very easy. In addition, it is so easy to access beautiful open countryside to explore.

It is now time for another family to enjoy living here in this fabulous family home in such an incredible location.”*

YOU CAN FOLLOW US ON

“We purchased our new house and sold our old house through Fine and Country with both aspects being handled by Martin and Rachel. I cannot thank them enough for the way they handled the process, always acting professionally and courteously. We were kept fully informed every step of the way on our sale, even at weekends when needed. The open house sale process worked really well for us and we ended up with a number of serious offers over the asking price with the sale going through first time with our chosen purchaser. We were presented with a fantastic album at the end of the sale process”… “Well worth the fee paid”
