Kineton Green Road, Solihull, B92 7DY

OPEN HOUSE EVENT | SATURDAY 27th SEPTEMBER 11AM - 1PM

This remarkable Edwardian home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained and highly versatile family residence of generous proportions. Combining the elegance of its era with thoughtful modern upgrades and spectacular outdoor space, it is a home to fall in love with and one that will continue to grow with you for years to come.

Set behind a mature hedge on a quiet residential street, Amberley dates to 1905, exuding timeless charm and understated grandeur. Approached via a pristine block-paved driveway with ample space for up to six vehicles, the front of the property is framed by deep borders, mature planting and tall, neat hedging, offering privacy and a striking first impression.

Stepping through the original front door, you are welcomed into a traditional porch showcasing period tiled flooring and beautiful stained-glass panels to the inner door, setting the scene for what lies beyond — a home rich in architectural detail and period elegance, yet warm and welcoming with all the modern touches of a comfortable family residence. The generous reception hall continues the heritage theme, with patterned tiling to the floor, high ceilings and a beautifully preserved plaster archway.

To the front of the property, the formal drawing room is a wonderfully light and airy space, bathed in natural light from a deep bay window with stained-glass top panels. The room is tastefully decorated in soft grey, with the original picture rail and cornicing intact. A feature fireplace, inset with a real flame gas fire, black high-gloss hearth and white marble surround, provides a striking focal point. There is also a useful storage cupboard behind a stripped pine door, featuring a further pretty stained-glass window.

Flowing from the hallway, the main living room at the rear of the property is equally impressive. This generously sized room features fabulous high ceilings, delicate original plasterwork and a wonderful open fireplace with a striking marble surround — the perfect setting for family relaxation and entertaining friends. French doors open directly onto the rear terrace, providing easy access to the garden during the warmer months.

Also on the ground floor is a beautifully appointed guest cloakroom. With high ceilings, a heritage-style WC and vanity basin, patterned tiled flooring and a stained-glass window, it is a stylish yet practical addition to the home.

At the heart of the property lies the open-plan breakfast kitchen, thoughtfully reconfigured to create a generously sized breakfast room and a practical yet stylish kitchen. Blending modern family living with traditional charm, the delicate pale apple-green cabinets pair beautifully with solid natural wood worktops, complemented by additional cabinetry with a granite surface, inset Belfast sink and space beneath for a washer and dishwasher.

The kitchen is equipped with a classic Elan range cooker featuring a six-burner induction hob, double ovens, a grill and a pan-warming drawer, while a powerful vented Falcon extractor sits above the tiled splashback. Two large original stripped pine windows to the side, along with a wide picture window to the rear, flood the room with natural light, and underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout the year. A cleverly concealed pantry provides extra storage, and a secondary access door leading back to the entrance hall enhances the natural flow of the ground floor.

Adjoining the kitchen is a garden room/lean-to with ceramic tiled flooring and a glass roof. Currently used for additional storage and utility purposes, it offers excellent potential to be transformed, perhaps into an orangery or further reception room. From here, there is internal access to a large single garage with ample space for a car, built-in shelving, a concrete floor, an up-and-over front door and rear access to the garden.

Upstairs

Ascending the original dog-leg staircase, laid with Berber wool twist carpet, you arrive at a spacious first-floor landing. Here, original plasterwork, picture rails and an elegant stained-glass window create a wonderful sense of light and openness. The master bedroom enjoys far-reaching, peaceful views across the rear garden and features stripped pine flooring, an original fireplace and ample space for wardrobes. The luxury en suite bathroom is finished in smart natural limestone tiling, with a modern double rainhead shower, vintage-style sanitaryware, a vanity basin set into a wooden cabinet and a chrome heated towel rail.

Also on the first floor are two further generously sized double bedrooms. Both benefit from high ceilings, original fireplaces, stripped flooring and large windows overlooking the front of the property, while one also includes a small walk-in wardrobe/storage area to the side. A separate WC and a beautifully finished family bathroom complete this level. The main bathroom features a freestanding clawfoot bath, a black-framed shower cubicle with rainhead, solid oak flooring, a Savoy basin and a well-appointed airing cupboard housing the high-pressure OSO hot water tank and Worcester boiler.

The second floor provides an additional suite of three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third bathroom, offering exceptional flexibility for family living. The front-facing bedroom includes a characterful window seat with leaded glass, while the rear large double bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings, delightful garden views, and an original fireplace. The sixth bedroom, also a comfortable double, includes further eaves storage and elevated views over the surrounding area. The generous second-floor bathroom is stylishly appointed with a clawfoot bath, inset Savoy basin, WC, shower cubicle with a deep inset shelf and elegant porcelain tiling. Two exposed beams enhance the period feel and additional loft space is accessed from here.

Outside

To the rear, the garden is a true sanctuary: south-east facing, expansive and beautifully landscaped. Stepping down from the living room via stone steps, you arrive on a well-designed terrace finished in a combination of block paving, large slabs and heritage blue bricks. A mature grapevine trails along one wall, while brick and stone boundary walls provide privacy and character on both sides. The garden is divided into distinct zones, including several lawned levels, productive vegetable beds and two substantial greenhouses. A winding original brick path meanders up through the garden to a dedicated seating area created by the present owners, offering a fabulous covered space for outdoor entertaining and dining, complete with a built-in brick barbecue and decking. Please note there is no power supply to this area.

Beyond this, the garden continues into further lawns framed by mature trees, including apple, fig and eucalyptus, along with ornamental shrubs such as camellias, snowberries and Japanese anemones. At the rear, a practical working area, completely screened by mature laurel and holly bushes, contains raised compost beds, two storage sheds (a raised wooden shed and a metal-framed unit) and additional storage areas. The garden is fully enclosed, offering security and seclusion for both children and pets, while its mature planting, multiple seating areas and architectural detail make it a delight for gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
