Somerville Road, Sutton Coldfield, B73

LAUNCH VIEWING EVENT | 11TH JULY | BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

Welcome to Somerville Road, Sutton Coldfield – an exceptional seven bedroom period residence occupying one of Sutton Coldfield's most sought-after locations. Beautifully blending timeless Edwardian character with luxurious modern family living, this outstanding home enjoys uninterrupted views across Wyndley Pool and the magnificent Sutton Park, offering a truly unique lifestyle where town convenience meets countryside tranquillity.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes a striking first impression. A generous gravel driveway provides secure off-road parking for up to six vehicles, complete with security bollards, while the handsome façade hints at the wealth of original character waiting inside.

Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed by an impressive entrance hall featuring beautiful original Minton tiled flooring, rich oak floors, an ornate fireplace with gas fire, leaded stained-glass windows and exquisite decorative plasterwork above the picture rail—a wonderful introduction to this remarkable home.

The elegant reception rooms have been thoughtfully preserved and offer exceptional versatility. The magnificent front reception room, currently arranged as a formal dining room, centres around a substantial inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove and provides ample space to entertain twelve or more guests. A charming turreted stained-glass bay window creates the perfect setting for a spectacular Christmas tree.

The formal drawing room is equally impressive, featuring another log-burning stove, intricate original plasterwork and French doors opening directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Completing the ground floor reception accommodation is a beautiful piano room, equally suited as a library, home office or peaceful sitting room.

At the heart of the home lies an outstanding open-plan breakfast kitchen, designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. A substantial central island forms the focal point, complemented by a double Belfast sink, integrated wine fridge, dishwasher and refrigerator, space for an American-style fridge freezer, and remote-controlled Velux windows flooding the room with natural light. The dining area flows effortlessly into an inviting family room with two separate seating areas and wide bi-folding doors opening onto an expansive terrace overlooking the gardens and lake beyond.

Underfloor heating serves the kitchen, family room and utility room, while a Hive smart heating system offers convenient mobile control.

The first floor provides beautifully proportioned bedroom accommodation. The principal suite enjoys breathtaking views across Wyndley Pool from its private balcony—also accessible from the landing—and is complemented by a stylish contemporary en-suite shower room with underfloor heating. Imagine beginning each day with coffee on the balcony as the morning sun rises across the water.

Further accommodation includes an elegant front-facing double bedroom with original picture rails, deep coving and skirting boards, another generous bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a delightful rear bedroom enjoying peaceful lake views with a dressing area leading through to its own washroom. A smaller bedroom to the front of the house is currently used as a home office. The luxurious family bathroom combines period elegance with modern comfort, featuring a classic roll-top claw-foot bath, a generous monsoon shower and underfloor heating. Two substantial linen cupboards provide excellent additional storage.

The second floor offers two further spacious double bedrooms together with a family bathroom, making an ideal floor for older children, guests or multi-generational living. One of these rooms are currently used as a cinema room.

Outside, the rear gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Landscaped lawns gently descend towards a charming timber lakeside terrace, creating an idyllic setting for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the exceptional outlook across Wyndley Pool towards the ancient woodland of Sutton Park. From the rear terrace, it is hard to believe that Sutton Coldfield town centre is only a short walk away.

The location is second to none. Wyndley Leisure Centre (with its swimming pools, diving clubs, gym and athletics facilities)is quite literally on the doorstep. Sutton Coldfield railway station, the vibrant town centre, independent cafés, excellent restaurants and boutiques are all within comfortable walking distance, while the property's proximity to both of Sutton Coldfield's highly regarded grammar schools represents an exceptional advantage for families. 

Beyond the excellent local amenities, the property's position adjoining the breathtaking 2,400-acre Sutton Park National Nature Reserve offers an unrivalled outdoor lifestyle. One of Europe's largest urban parks, Sutton Park provides miles of scenic walking and cycling trails, seven picturesque lakes, sailing, pony trekking and abundant wildlife. Families will enjoy the children's play areas and much-loved donkey sanctuary, while the park's famous free-roaming wild ponies and grazing cattle create a unique countryside atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else. Having this remarkable natural landscape quite literally on your doorstep is one of Somerville Road's most exceptional and enduring attractions.
Beautifully maintained throughout, with the exterior recently redecorated and the boiler regularly serviced, this exceptional home successfully combines the grandeur and craftsmanship of its Edwardian heritage with the practical comforts expected of contemporary family living.

Homes offering such an enviable combination of period elegance, seven bedroom accommodation, breathtaking park and lake views, outstanding entertaining space and an unrivalled Sutton Coldfield location are exceptionally rare.
