Solihull | 5 Bedrooms | £1,950,000

Glebe House is an exceptionally appointed family home. Edwardian features are openly apparent, and the house has a modern elegant interior, situated to a 0.39-acre plot, within walking distance to Solihull town centre. 

The property is well set back from the Warwick Road and has a large multi-vehicle in and out gravelled driveway. On entering the front porch, the hallway gives a warm welcome and has a parquet floor and an open working fireplace.  From the hallway, there is a guest cloakroom and useful store/coat cupboard with access to the cellar. The separate dining room is located to the front elevation and offers versatile use as a second sitting room or playroom. The formal living room overlooks the rear garden and has a stunning stone set fireplace and wood burner. The panelling and décor is well well-considered and tastefully executed – a theme which runs the entire property.

The bespoke kitchen is a bright and inviting family space, with an island, breakfast bar and space for a table overlooking the gardens. Appliances are by Miele and Siemens, with a Perrin + Rowe double Belfast sink, walnut cabinetry, and dresser unit. The laundry room and boot room provide excellent storage options, with the boot room also doubling up as a separate workspace for young members of the family.

On the first floor are four excellent double bedrooms with above-average ceiling height. There are 2 ensuites and a main family bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor is a principal suite with a large bathroom, dressing area and storage cupboard. Four of the bedrooms have bespoke hard wood fitted wardrobes.  There is also a 12’6” x 7’1” walk-in hidden storage area to the top floor allowing ease of storing suitcases and heavier items. 

“The Coach House” offers versatile accommodation over the large garage. There is separate access from the side of the main house into its hallway, with a ground-floor shower room and WC, which is the perfect accompaniment to the current gym area. This room would also be perfect as a games/cinema room. Stairs lead up to a home office which is an incredibly inviting and tranquil space. There is further vast walk-in storage from this room.

The rear garden is well established with a private fenced and hedged boundary.

Glebe House is unquestionably a most attractive family home; its Edwardian beginnings have been sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, giving a modern yet elegant take on family living – with an abundance of convenience on the doorstep.
