Hampton in Arden | 5 Bedrooms | £2,250,000

Five Gables is a home which offers turn-key living with exceptional style and comfort. The property has over 4,000 square feet of accommodation and secure parking, and is within walking distance to Hampton in Arden train station, which has links to Birmingham and London.  The property lies within a 0.59 acre plot, with superbly maintained gardens, and a south-easterly aspect.

On entering the porch and hallway, wooden floors lead through to the study, living room and separate dining room. Both the living and dining rooms enjoy working bespoke cast iron fireplaces, details such as these which continue through the property, both to the interior and exterior.

The hub of the home is undoubtedly the Tom Howley kitchen with a large extended orangery taking in the views of the garden.  The kitchen enjoys zoned underfloor heating beneath the Mandarin Stone tiled flooring, Corian worktops and solid Oak drawers/compartments. The kitchen is wired to be compatible with Sonos, has a sociable central island/breakfast bar, and appliances including a Miele integrated dishwasher, and AGA with an electric companion. There is space for two large fridge/freezers, currently home to a Fisher & Paykel set along with a full-height Fisher & Paykel wine cooler.

The utility is discreetly practical, accessed from the kitchen and leads into the carport, ideal for entering the house on rainy days! 

The orangery is a superb extension of the kitchen, a beautiful family area and an entertaining space, with direct views of the garden.  

The staircase is a further example of attention to detail in this home, with a Roger Oates runner and an open first-floor landing with decorative hand-crafted railings. 

The main bedroom suite has a separate dressing area with built-in wardrobes. The large ensuite was re-fitted in 2022 with Mandarin Stone flooring, a pure marble top vanity and a bespoke Mandarin Stone sink and stand-alone bath.

Bedroom two, ideal for guests, has a Heritage sink unit, large walk-in shower, and WC. The main bathroom has an inviting cast iron stand-alone bath, a separate shower, sink and WC, and underfloor heating to the stone tiled flooring.     

Five Gables is a home of substance and feeling. At every turn, there is a detail which has been considered for its aesthetic and practical use. The quality of materials used has been chosen for longevity, whilst enhancing the elegance of everything this home is. 

Location

Hampton in Arden is a most picturesque village maintaining traditional street scenes and a handful of everyday amenities whilst also offering the destination landmark Hampton Manor: Situated in 45 acres of gardens and woodland and home to Michelin star Peel's restaurant and the more recently opened ‘Smoke’ and Bakery. More casual dining in the village is at The White Lion pub on the high street.

The Hampton Health and Fitness Club is a bespoke gym on Old Station Road, complemented by the nearby tennis club. The village has always maintained a loyal population, of youngsters who once grown wish to remain close by and more mature generations perhaps feeling the need to downsize yet stay close by to the village and amenities.

The village has its own train station, with links to Birmingham New Street and London Euston. Birmingham International Railway Station is a 3 minute train journey, opening up a wider transport network and easy access to Birmingham Airport.

The well-regarded George Fentham Endowed School lies in the village and accepts pupils from nursery to Year 6. The village is under 4 miles from Solihull town centre, making this location a superb option for those wishing to distance from the town centre with no compromise on facilities and lifestyle.
