Linthurst Newtown, Blackwell, B60 1BS

Summary
An outstanding example of a ‘traditional style’ yet beautifully contemporary family home, this impressive residence was built in 2021 to exacting standards by local developer ‘Fletcher Homes’ and has since been further enhanced by the current owners. Extending to over 2,000 sq. ft. of impeccably presented accommodation, the property centers around a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/family room fitted with high quality appliances, complemented by two elegant reception rooms – one featuring a charming gas stove - and the recent addition of a highly glazed garden room that seamlessly connects indoors with out. Underfloor heating serves the ground floor, while three beautifully appointed bathrooms cater effortlessly to modern family life. With five years remaining on the home warranty, this luxury home occupies a prime position on one of Blackwell’s sought after roads, just half a mile from a highly rated first school and less than a mile from Barnt Green.

Description
The beautifully appointed accommodation, painted throughout in timeless tones by Farrow & Ball, is thoughtfully arranged over three floors and benefits from underfloor heating across the entire ground floor.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, complete with a useful understairs storage cupboard and a stylish guest WC. To the front, a superb south-facing living room features a bay window and a traditional style gas stove set upon an elevated plinth, creating a charming focal point. A separate sitting room – currently utilised as a playroom – offers excellent versatility and includes a lockable cupboard housing the boiler along with additional storage space.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the vast open plan kitchen/dining/family room, designed perfectly for both modern family life and entertaining. A part vaulted ceiling with electronically operated Velux windows enhances the sense of space and light, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden. The high quality ‘Elgar’ kitchen suite is complemented by ‘Stone & Earth’ quartz worktops and an impressive range of integrated appliances including a ‘Quettle’ boiling water tap, NEFF ‘Slide & Hide’ oven and microwave, NEFF induction hob, Caple extractor fan, recently installed top-of-the-range Bosch dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer and wine cooler. In-ceiling speakers add to the contemporary feel, and a breakfast bar provides casual dining space. A utility cupboard offers plumbing and space for both a washing machine and dryer.

Bi-folding doors extend into a recent addition – a highly glazed garden room – also benefitting from underfloor heating. Two sliding glass panes create a seamless connection to the garden, allowing the outside to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

An exquisite oak staircase with glass balustrade and subtle low-level lighting rises to the first floor. Here, a superb principal guest bedroom enjoys bespoke fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room. A further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, two additional bedrooms overlooking the garden, and a stylish house bathroom complete this level.

Occupying the entire second floor, the magnificent master bedroom suite provides a luxurious retreat with an en suite shower room and a generous eaves storage cupboard. The current owners have added an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, shelving and matching bedside tables.

All bathrooms are finished to an exceptional standard, featuring marble-effect porcelain tiling, contemporary sanitary ware, automatic under-vanity lighting and touch-illuminated mirrors.

The property further benefits from a fully integrated alarm system covering smoke, fire and intruder detection, ensuring complete peace of mind.

Outside
Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden offers a patio seating area leading to an elevated lawn with planted borders enhanced by uplighting and fenced boundaries. An enclosed wooden lean-to runs along one side of the house, providing practical storage for a lawn mower, garden furniture and bicycles etc, while gated access is available to the opposite side of the house. To the front, a block paved driveway affords parking for multiple vehicles.
