Seller Insight Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac of near the village of Walmley, this house has been the current owners’ pride and joy. An impressively grand porch highlights the front of the house, a taster of what lies inside. Dominating the spacious and bright entrance hall, a wonderful wide staircase is a key feature on the ground floor. Beautiful bedrooms on the second floor lead onto a spacious landing with a relaxing seating area. The detailing of each room is exquisite. “Even the curtains are beautiful” says the owner. The property as a whole is beautifully finished, while a fine conservatory has been a lovely addition from which to enjoy views of the exquisite garden. “I have really taken care of the garden and put a lot of love into it” says the current owner. “The flower beds are beautiful. It’s a lovely garden, with deck chairs and a big marble table. We often sit outside in the summer and have barbecues.” With parking for up to 10 cars, the property lends itself easily to parties and family gatherings. The property is also one of only two houses in the estate to boast a triple garage. The current owners use one, and have converted the remaining two into a large room complete with carpeting, which is ideal for parties or a children’s playroom. The owners have hosted receptions for their daughter’s weddings in the space. “People walk in to the room and say ‘oh, wow!’” says the owner. The property has been first and foremost a family home. “It is the perfect house for kids” says the owner. “Our youngest child grew up here and enjoyed having the whole house to roam around in.” “We have hosted various functions at the house” say the owners. “When two of our children got married we had a marquee in the garden. All of our friends and family and neighbours came. It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves. There is also a friendly sense of community in the area. “The neighbours are lovely” says the owner. “There is a real family atmosphere in the area. People are very sociable.” 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.
Off the wonderfully spacious galleried landing, the master bedroom is an elegant, serene place to relax with fitted wardrobes and tastefully decorated en-suite, complete with white sanitary ware and a separate shower cubicle.
“I couldn’t choose a favourite room, I have individually decorated each one and I love them all. I have put a lot of loving work and care into this house,” says the current owner, “and I will be truly sad to leave.”
The Versace inspired double guest bedroom boasts bed coronet and matching curtains with fitted wardrobes. A second double bedroom with ensuite bathroom enjoys views of the rear garden. The fifth double bedroom is currently being used as an office with built in wardrobe and wooden flooring.
A private rear garden with large terrace, perfect for dining al-fresco and lawned area is accessed from the conservatory. The triple garage has currently been divided to offer a single garage facility with electric doors and the remainder is converted into an additional entertainment room with doors to private terrace and lawned garden. This would make a great space for an office or gym.
