The Green, Tanworth-in-Arden, Solihull, West Midlands B94

The Doctor’s House is an attractive Grade II listed Georgian home, superbly positioned just off The Green in the highly sought-after village of Tanworth in Arden. Dating back to 1785, this distinguished property is rich in period charm, with an abundance of characterful features thoughtfully preserved throughout.

The formal front door, accessed directly from the roadside, offers an impressive sense of arrival, while a more practical kitchen entrance is ideal for everyday living.

At the heart of the home lies a delightful dining kitchen with a notably elevated ceiling height, a warming AGA and generous storage and worktop space. A pantry sits just off the kitchen, providing invaluable additional storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a welcoming sitting room, enjoying delightful views over the rear garden. This room is believed to have historically served as a cheese room, with charming, exposed beams still displaying original agricultural hooks.

Further reception space includes a substantial dual-aspect drawing room with a feature fireplace, perfectly suited to entertaining and offering direct access to the rear garden. The formal dining room is ideal for family gatherings and dinner parties, with a large bay window that lets in plenty of natural light. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a study, thought to have once been the village dentist’s surgery, providing versatile space for home working or additional seating.

The basement, accessed from the reception hallway, has been thoughtfully converted to create a utility room, wine store and craft room/studio, adding both practicality and flexibility.

To the first floor, a charming galleried landing leads to three/four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is currently used as a sitting room and enjoys views over the rear garden, and provides access through to the fourth bedroom, which features beautiful outlooks towards the village church. These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Further bedroom accommodation is provided within The Cottage, situated across the courtyard from
the main house..

Converted from the former garage in 2007, this charming and self-contained property offers two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or independent living for older children. The Cottage provides highly versatile accommodation and could equally suit use as a home office, studio, or ancillary accommodation, offering privacy while remaining conveniently close to the principal house.

The property is accessed via a gated driveway, providing plenty of parking and access to the double garage. The detached double garage provides excellent space for vehicle storage, along with valuable additional storage. To the left-hand side of the property sits the Trap House, currently utilised for storage but offering clear potential for enhancement or repurposing, subject to the necessary consents, making it a particularly appealing ancillary feature of the home.

The property is surrounded by beautiful formal gardens, offering charm and functionality. To the right-hand side of the house lies a well-maintained lawn, while productive vegetable patches positioned behind the garage will appeal greatly to keen gardeners.

The principal lawn is bordered by an attractive selection of established plants and flowering specimens. This area benefits from a high degree of privacy from both the road and neighbouring properties, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting to enjoy during the warmer summer months.
