Bradnocks Marsh Lane, Hampton in Arden, Solihull

A characterful home in a superb commuter location - the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort.

Tucked within the peaceful parish of Hampton-in-Arden, just a short drive from Balsall Common, this wonderful detached home captures the essence of countryside living with a stylish, contemporary twist.

As the details were being prepared, children were racing their bikes along the long, sweeping driveway. Goalposts stood ready for an impromptu football match, and the courtyard quietly beckoned for soft music and the sizzle of a summer BBQ. This is a home that feels alive - full of stories waiting to be written.
There's a romance and energy to a character property like this - something no modern build can replicate. Its quirks and details reveal themselves slowly, rewarding every return visit with something new. But let's not get too whimsical - this is also a serious, well-designed home.

Whether you're a growing family or a couple wanting room for visiting friends and family, the house offers versatility in spades. It's surprisingly low-maintenance, and while only two doorways are a little shy on head height, the rest of the home boasts generous proportions throughout.

Inside, you'll find a beautifully styled interior where modern finishes tastefully complement traditional craftsmanship. A welcoming lobby opens into a large family room, centred around a log-burning stove. The kitchen - complete with utility and pantry - is practical and well-appointed, while a dual-aspect lounge and generous dining room provide flexible, elegant spaces for entertaining or unwinding.

Two staircases lead to the first floor, with the main staircase arriving at a landing with a fitted storage and cloaks cupboard. A dedicated study and a spacious guest WC round off the ground floor - completing a layout that's both functional and full of character.

The story continues upstairs...

The main landing opens to two well-proportioned double bedrooms (Bedrooms 3 and 4), each enjoying bright dual-aspect views. These rooms share a stylishly appointed four-piece family bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and a freestanding roll-top bath - perfect for both practicality and a touch of indulgence.

From the same landing, you'll find access to the stunning principal suite - also reachable via the secondary staircase from the opposite wing of the house. (Go ahead and take a moment to study the floor plan - we'll wait!) Right - welcome back.

The principal bedroom is an exceptional space: semi-vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and tall windows that flood the room with natural light. A statement bateau bath offers a serene retreat - ideal for unwinding without negotiating bathroom time with teenagers. There's also a double wardrobe, a feature fireplace, and ample room for a super king-sized bed. This suite truly balances elegance with comfort.

Tucked away in the north wing, the final bedroom offers triple-aspect views and a similar semi-vaulted ceiling to the principal. It's a wonderfully private room, full of potential. The current owners have purposefully left the en-suite unfitted - allowing the next owners to shape it to their own vision and taste.
Outside, lifestyle takes centre stage.

A detached double garage and ample parking sit behind secure electric gates. The mature front gardens provide an inviting approach, while the real showstopper lies to the rear - a sophisticated 'grown-up' play area in the form of a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Designed for al fresco living, it's complete with an outdoor bar, power points, and uninterrupted views across rolling farmland. It's the perfect space to entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the seasons.
