Property Description

The property

Set on a fabulous and substantial plot on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Shenstone, this detached family home will impress all viewers. The property begins with a tarmac driveway rising up to block paving that runs across the front of the house to two garages; one integral to the house and one detached. The driveway then continues along the side of the property towards the rear where there is a bridge across to the remainder of this vast plot. The reason for the bridge is that Crane Brook, a stream that meanders to the north of Shenstone, runs through the garden creating a unique and beautiful feature. At this point, viewers will note the solar panels on the front roof which provide a significant saving off the electric bills.

Before we continue, it’s worth noting that it is incredibly difficult to put this property into words, and therefore a viewing is highly advised.

Entering the home through the main front door, viewers are brought into an excellent-sized entrance porch before moving on through to the main hallway. The hallway includes the staircase up to first floor aswell as doors for the lounge, kitchen, dining room, study and the first of two ground floor WCs. There is also a handy under-stairs cupboard that runs right underneath the winding staircase, providing plenty of storage.

In the hallway, the first door to the right is for the study which has plenty of space for a large desk and other office furniture, as well as a lovely bay window that provides a nice outlook to the front of the property. The second room to the right is a magnificent lounge which is a huge room, measuring at over seventeen feet in length. Besides the size, the other main features of the lounge are a delightful bay window overlooking the rear garden and Crane Brook, and a marvellous gas fireplace set into a recess with windows on either side.

From the lounge, viewers will pass the WC and kitchen to the final door which is for the dining room. This room has another bay window to the front, overlooking the countryside across Mill Lane. There is a feature gas fireplace and the room is large enough to hold a twelve-seater dining table with ease. Next is the kitchen which is, quite frankly, sensational. Extended from its original size, the kitchen has two distinctive parts; the first being the original part where there are wooden wall and base units with a granite work surface. A sink is incorporated with a drainer cut into the surface. This part of the kitchen also includes an integrated dishwasher.

The larger part of the kitchen is perhaps the most impressive part of the house, where there is a glorious red Aga that includes two stoves and four ovens. There is also a beautiful fitted Welsh dresser along the near wall with a double height fridge and matching freezer on either side. Viewers will note the stylish large cream hi-gloss floor tiles that flow through the kitchen and into a fabulous conservatory that makes the most of the views over the garden. The conservatory is the perfect place to relax all year round as it is double glazed with a self-cleaning glass roof, patio doors to the side and a large tri-folding door to the rear.

The ground floor continues with a door from the kitchen through to the utility room which has more surface space and units, with plumbing for a washing machine and further room for a tumble dryer. The second of the two ground floor WCs is located off the utility room, which is ideal after spending time out in the garden and therefore not being required to tread through the house. There is also a further door into the integral garage which a good sized single garage with a window to the side and an electric roll-shut door.

Moving upstairs, the landing is nice and open, with a wooden banister running up from the staircase and a deep storage cupboard. The landing has doors leading off to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is to the right hand side of the house and is a magnificent double bedroom with plenty of fitted furniture. The room then opens to the rear for a dressing room and a further door to a sleek en suite shower room, including a bidet. Next to the master bedroom is the family bathroom which, like the en suite, has a lovely modern finish and includes a large bathtub and stylish curved double shower cubicle.

To the left hand side of the house are the remaining three bedrooms, which are also all double bedrooms. Bedroom two includes another en suite shower room, this time without a toilet, separated by two built in wardrobes. Bedroom three has a larger floor space than bedroom two, has another built in wardrobe and a window looking out to the rear garden. The fourth and final bedroom is an excellent l-shaped room located at the front of the house.

We finish the description of the property outside to the rear which is one of the main selling features of the property. Before getting beyond Crane Brook, the land around the house is mostly lawn along with a delightful patio seating area to the side of the conservatory. Across the bridge is a vast expanse of land belonging to this house which has a covenant that prevents the land from being developed. Within this land is a large outbuilding that has been used as a games room for billiards in the past and is perfect for further storage.

Around the northern perimeter of the plot is woodland that enhances privacy as the plot extends all the way across to the A5127 Birmingham Road. Next to the bridge over Crane Brook is a lovely stoned footpath where viewers can walk amongst the daffodils across a wooden footbridge where the remainder of the garden can be explored. Finally, as mentioned at the top, next to the house is a detached single garage that is slightly bigger in size than the integral garage. This garage also includes an electric roll shut door, a window to the rear and a large loft space - in addition to the large loft space above the house.
