Solihull | 5 Bedrooms | £1,150,000

This home stands proudly on Hampton Lane, and in 2013 enjoyed a superb renovation to extend and improve the accommodation to just over 3,400 square feet. The property now enjoys a large open-plan kitchen and family area, 2nd reception room, extended rear first-floor bedrooms and a superb bedroom suite to the top-floor loft conversion.

On entering, the hallway is practically tiled and has an oak-framed front door with privacy glass panels. The living room has a front bay window and a wood burner set to a slate hearth.  There is a 2nd reception room offering ground floor home office space or use as a playroom/hobby room.  There is a guest cloakroom and boot room off the hallway.

The large open-plan kitchen spans the width of the rear of the property, having a cosy separate sitting area and two sets of bifold doors leading to the patio and garden. The kitchen enjoys a large island with a breakfast bar, granite worktops, tiled flooring, and access to the useful separate utility area. Integrated kitchen appliances include 2 sets of ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, 5-ring gas hob, ceiling ceiling-mounted extractor fan and a warming plate drawer. There is a hot tap (hot and cold water) to the sink area and a wine cooler to the island.

Opening the bi-fold doors on a warm day takes you immediately to the large patio with a pond and water feature. From the rear of the property, the garden spans approx. 130 ft in length with a total plot size of approximately 0.2 acre. The excellently appointed summer house (with power, electric heating and lighting) is to the rear of the garden and provides versatile options as a summer house, home office or gym.

The utility room is accessed from the kitchen, has a stainless steel under-counter large sink and also gives access to the covered side passage. There is space for a washing machine and a secondary appliance.

All bathrooms and ensuites enjoy Porcelanosa sanitaryware, tiling and rain-head showers. On the first floor is the main bathroom which has a large sunken bath, vanity sink and separate corner shower.  There are four double bedrooms on the first floor which all have fitted wardrobes, and 3 have ensuites. One of the 2 rear bedrooms enjoys walk-out balcony access overlooking the rear garden, the balcony having space for a small table and chairs.  The bedroom accommodation is versatile, with the current owners using the top floor as the primary suite, however, should the preference be to have the principal suite on the first floor, there is a fabulous large primary option with a very generously sized ensuite which has a large walk-in shower.

The large bedroom suite to the second (top) floor has Velux windows bringing in natural light, a high gable ceiling and eaves storage. The large ensuite to this bedroom is fully tiled, having a walk-in shower, separate

Porcelanosa stand-alone bath, and double sinks with a vanity station.  There is also a separate walk-in dressing room off the top floor landing.

In summary, this is a beautifully presented and excellently maintained family home, with the practicalities of family living at the forefront of its appeal, along with an unquestionably convenient location.
