Walsall Road, Sutton Coldfield, B74 4ND

Set back from Walsall Road in the heart of Four Oaks, this impressive four bedroom detached period home, built in 1906, is full of original character, thoughtful spaces, and over a century of charm. Owned and beautifully maintained by the same family for more than 40 years, it is a rare opportunity to step into a home that has clearly been loved.

From the front door, you step into a charming vestibule, the perfect place to greet guests before entering the heart of the home. From there, the property opens into a welcoming open hallway. With its wooden staircase, original features and generous proportions, this entrance area is more than just a hall. It could easily serve as a reading corner or additional reception space.

The lounge is timeless and filled with natural light thanks to two beautiful bay windows  one to the front and one to the side. A stunning period fireplace creates a real focal point, and the room has a lovely balance of character and comfort. Across the hall, the formal dining room is equally charming. Decorated with Ianthe wallpaper by Liberty, it pairs classic style with rich period details, including another original fireplace with surround.

To the rear of the home, a sun room looks out over the garden and provides a peaceful space to unwind in all seasons. There is also a breakfast room or snug, with warm wood panelled walls, giving it a traditional cottage feel. Double doors open out onto a peaceful corner of the garden  a favourite spot for the current owners to enjoy breakfast or coffee surrounded by nature.

The kitchen, updated in 2016, is a fantastic size and full of thoughtful touches. It blends practical family living with classic style and includes a self contained pantry that offers excellent storage and keeps everything beautifully organised. The kitchen flows through to a spacious utility room with access to the garden, ideal for everyday family life or returning from a walk at nearby Sutton Park.

Tucked away off the hallway is a guest cloakroom with a lovely traditional feel. What makes it extra special is the cleverly disguised secret door that leads down to a well kept cellar — an incredibly useful additional space that even includes a fitted radiator, making it comfortable and usable all year round.

Throughout the property, natural light pours in from all angles, giving each room a bright and uplifting atmosphere.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, each filled with charm and light. The principal bedroom features beautiful Hammonds fitted furniture and a cleverly designed en suite shower room tucked discreetly behind wardrobe doors. A spacious family bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate shower cubical plus a separate toilet, offers comfort and convenience for everyday living.

A spiral staircase from the landing leads to the second floor, where you will find three additional rooms. These spaces have not been granted planning consent to be classed as bedrooms, but they offer excellent flexibility home offices, a gym, or creative spaces. They are bright and welcoming thanks to two newly installed Velux windows, bringing in even more natural light and sky views.

Outside, the garden is truly special. Lovingly maintained, it offers a variety of private and peaceful seating areas surrounded by beautifully kept planting. The garden includes azaleas, lavenders, olive trees, and 15 mature acers, offering vibrant colour and structure throughout the seasons.

To the front, the home has strong curb appeal with a spacious driveway, a double garage, and a handsome presence. There is also an EV charging point, a full alarm system, and CCTV for added peace of mind.

The location could not be more convenient, with an excellent choice of both primary and secondary schools all within walking distance. You are also just a short stroll from Sutton Park, Mere Green’s shops, bars, restaurants and gyms, as well as Butlers Lane and Four Oaks train stations.

This is more than a house. It is a forever home that holds decades of happy memories. The current owners have cherished every moment here and are now ready to pass it on to someone who will love it just as much.
