Hampton in Arden | 5 Bedrooms | £1,450,000

An open porch welcomes you through the front door to an enclosed porch, perfect for leaving shoes and coats. From here a door opens into a large reception hall which provides access to all downstairs accommodation. The dining room is at the front of the property with a large bay window and open fireplace. Behind this is the formal lounge, a welcoming space with a second open fire. There is ample space for guests with a warm and cosy feel for those winter evenings. There are double doors from here out to the orangery which over looks the garden and benefits from an abundance of natural light pouring through from the large sash windows and ceiling lantern. The study is to the left of the hall, having built in shelving units and an additional coat cupboard. There is a downstairs WC with vanity wash hand basin. To the rear of the property is the heart of this home, the kitchen/living space. This space offers all a family could wish for. The imposing island immediately draws attention as does the wood burning ‘Esse Ironheart’ stove. There is a built in, full length Liebherr fridge and freezer, Hotpoint dishwasher, double Belfast sink and space for a gas range style cooker. It has both a butler’s pantry and a walk in pantry, bifold doors overlooking the garden, underfloor heating and ample space for a separate dining table and chairs. The utility is off the kitchen with good storage cupboards, one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and space for appliances.

To the first floor are five bedrooms. Bedroom one is to the rear of the property with a window seat overlooking the garden, surrounding greenery and fields. It benefits from walk through wardrobe space which leads to the ensuite. The ensuite has electric underfloor heating with freestanding bath, separate shower unit, WC and double vanity sinks. Bedroom two has built in wardrobes with an ensuite shower room. Bedroom three also has built in wardrobes and lower level storage and, along with bedrooms 4 and 5, is serviced by the main bathroom. The main bathroom has a separate bath and shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. The landing has a heated airing cupboard, a storage cupboard and provides access to the spacious and accessible loft (largely boarded with ladder access).

Externally, the garden is exquisite. The initial view is of the patio and lawn with mature, well stocked borders. Beyond this is a rose garden, planted with over 100 David Austin roses. They entwine to create private seating areas idyllic for a reading spot in the summer months. Beyond the gates, the middle area of the garden is perfect for family sport and games. The final third of the garden is a neat vegetable garden with a composting area, wooden shed, open potting shed plus hard-standing for a greenhouse. 

The in and out driveway provides generous parking with a lawned area and a charming magnolia tree. There is a single garage, electric charging point and to the rear of the garage is a storage area with plumbing for a dog shower should one be required

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 not one but three dining experiences, the bakery for that everyday treat, Smoke for wood-fired dining and Grace & Savour. More casual dining experiences can be found at Soho Tavern and on the high street, The White Lion pub. 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.
