Broad Lane, Tanworth-In-Arden

This elegant Edwardian residence was acquired by the current owners many years ago and has since been thoughtfully enhanced to create a grand family home set within nearly 1.5 acres of glorious gardens and grounds. Occupying one of the largest plots on the much sought-after Broad Lane, the property is situated behind wrought iron gates, providing security and privacy, as well as adding to the overall appearance and style. In addition, there are superb views over the extensive rear garden and unspoiled Warwickshire countryside beyond.

The property was sympathetically extended 20 years ago, with the aid of an architect, to include a magnificent drawing room and an impressive principal bedroom suite above, comprising a spacious bedroom, dressing area and en-suite bathroom. The extension also included a balcony reached by patio doors from the main bedroom. Much of the ground floor of the house and the master bedroom benefits from the highest quality solid oak flooring, sourced from a specialist company. Throughout these improvements, great care has been taken to preserve the property's character and charm.

Tanworth-in-Arden is a much sought-after village, one of the most charming in the county, and with an active local community, provides such facilities as The Bell (pub and restaurant), highly regarded primary school with nursery, 13th Century parish church, village hall, golf and tennis clubs, and excellent doctors' surgery. The property is conveniently placed for access to the M40 and M42 motorways, reached via the A435, which also provides a direct route South. Wood End station is just a mile away, with regular trains to Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon and other destinations. Dorridge station, with regular fast trains to London, is only a short distance away, as are Birmingham International Airport (BHX) and the NEC.
