Wychwood Avenue, Knowle, Solihull

Offered to the market with no upward chain, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property that has been lovingly owned by the same family for over 50 years.

Occupying a sought-after position on one of Knowle's well-regarded residential roads, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,400 sq ft including the garage. Whilst now requiring a degree of modernisation, it provides an excellent canvas for a new owner to create a superb long-term family home in a highly desirable location.

The accommodation includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, conservatory and a particularly useful utility room, together with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over the first floor. A long integral garage provides excellent storage, workshop potential or scope for further adaptation, subject to any necessary consents.

A standout feature of the property is the exceptional rear garden. Mature, private and wonderfully established, it offers a peaceful setting rarely found today. The garden has clearly been carefully nurtured over many years and provides an attractive backdrop for family life, entertaining and outdoor enjoyment, with a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

The property is ideally placed for the excellent amenities of Knowle village, with its selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and highly regarded schools, whilst Solihull town centre, motorway links and rail connections are all easily accessible.

Properties of this nature, with such a long ownership history and outstanding potential, are increasingly rare to the market and early viewing is strongly recommended.

Location - Knowle is a large village approximately one mile from Junction 5 of the M42 motorway and some 3 miles from Solihull town centre. Village amenities are centred around a traditional high street, offering a high-end local butcher, luxury bakery, hairdressers, boutique dress shops for both men and women, a handful of bespoke wine, gin and ale bars, with new acclaimed eatery and bar ‘Cheals’. The Greswolde Hotel and Wilsons Arms offer an ongoing traditional presence, whilst local residents are able to satisfy all shopping needs not only from individual stores but also a small Tesco as well as picking up a Costa along the way. The picturesque sight of whites on the cricket pitch are often seen on a summer’s afternoon at the well-supported cricket and tennis club off Station Road. Knowle football club off Hampton Road and excellent rugby facility at The Old Silhillians ground appeal to all age groups and new members are most welcome.

To the end of the high street, Grade I Listed Knowle Parish Church is over 600 years old, still to this day promoting and maintaining the community ethos within the village. Birmingham NEC, International Airport and Railway Station are within about 5 miles and offer excellent network connections throughout the UK, with direct links to Birmingham city centre and services of approx. 1hr 10 mins to London Euston. Arden Academy invites pupils from age 11 to 18 and has become an aspirational focus for local junior schools. Whilst maintaining village characteristics, Knowle has maintained itself to be one of the most desirable locations for all generations, also proud to be home to two National Trust properties at Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House.
