Tettenhall village - 2.5 miles, Wolverhampton City Centre - 4.5 miles, Birmingham - 20 miles, M54 (J2) - 4.2 miles, (distances approximate)

Location - Histons Hill is one of the most sought after addresses within the highly regarded South Staffordshire village of Codsall which has long since been held in much favour within the residential market. The village centre provides a comprehensive range of local shopping and leisure amenities and the area is well served by schooling locally with a wide array of excellent schools in both sectors being easily accessible.

Wolverhampton City Centre is within a short drive, there are regular bus services from Codsall and regular local rail services running from Codsall and Bilbrook stations.

The Ferns stands in a lovely position and is totally shielded from Histons Hill by virtue of a long driveway which serves the front access for just two properties. The house stands within superb "wrap-around" gardens with much shielding and protecting matured greenery.

Description - The Ferns comprises a substantial house providing fine living accommodation over two storeys with a high degree of flexibility of use. The property has been well maintained by the current sellers and is presented in excellent decorative order.

The house is believed to have been originally built in approximately 1820 with a superb period elevation typical of the period. The property has benefitted from substantial later extensions which have greatly enhanced the scope of accommodation provided with the benefit of a lovely blend of both informal and formal living areas, excellent sleeping provision and a self-contained suite of first floor rooms which would be ideal for dependent relative or staff accommodation or which alternatively could be used as a home officing suite.

Accommodation - A tile hung PORCH with panelled front door opens into a charming RECEPTION HALL with oak flooring and concealed access to the CELLAR. There is a wide bank of fitted cloaks and storage cupboards together with a glazed external door, coved ceiling, wiring for wall lights and a door to the CLOAKROOM with a well appointed white suite of a WC and wash basin set within a vanity unit. The DRAWING ROOM is the principal reception room to the ground floor with windows and French doors to the gardens, oak flooring, an open fireplace with marble hearth and slips and carved, pine, Adam style surround together with moulded ceiling cornice and wiring for wall lights.

An informal FAMILY ROOM provides a charming everyday living area with a bow window and further window overlooking the driveway approach, oak flooring, wiring for wall lights, internal window to the hall and an inter-connecting, glazed door to the stunning BREAKFAST KITCHEN which was re-fitted in 2010 by Carvers to an excellent and exacting standard with a comprehensive range of gloss-fronted white units with granite working surfaces and upstands together with a co-ordinated granite breakfast bar, under-unit lighting, inset Franke stainless steel sink unit, inset Neff five-ring gas hob with stainless steel Franke extraction chimney above and granite splashback, integrated Neff stainless steel microwave and integrated Neff stainless steel double electric oven, integrated dishwasher, American style fridge freezer housing unit, tiled floor, windows overlooking the rear gardens, integrated ceiling lighting and a door to the SIDE LOBBY AND LAUNDRY with a co-ordinating range of wall and base mounted units, plumbing for a washing machine, stainless steel Franke sink unit, recessed understairs storage area and floor mounted gas fired central heating boiler.

NB This suite of rooms could provide the basis for a multitude of different uses.

Outside - The Ferns stands in a particularly charming situation which is one of the principal attractions of the residence and is approached over a long driveway which leads to a five-bar wooden gate opening into the extensive parking forecourt with a central Victorian lamppost, extensive parking for many vehicles and matured borders. The grounds wrap around the house to the extensive rear and side lawns with a large paved terrace, densely planted beds and borders, specimen trees and a superb rockery garden.
