Bradnocks Marsh Lane, Hampton-in-Arden, Solihull B92 0LH

Ground Floor:
Approached through elegant wrought iron double gates, Ivycroft immediately creates an
excellent first impression. The property is set behind attractive wrought iron railings, stone pillars, newly planted laurels, mature hedging and beautifully landscaped borders, with hydrangeas, honeysuckle and established shrubs complementing the reclaimed brickwork. A traditional flagstone pathway leads to the charming sage-green entrance porch, which provides a welcoming introduction to this beautifully presented home.

The spacious reception hall features handsome oak flooring, high ceilings, attractive wall coverings and a dado rail, while the oak staircase, with its black wrought iron twisted finials, adds further character. Beneath the stairs is an unusually generous storage cupboard, originally forming part of the cellar, providing excellent space for household equipment and larger items.

There are two superb reception rooms positioned to the front of the property. The dining room is a delightful entertaining space with an open fireplace, high ceilings, dual aspect windows and a lovely bay window overlooking the countryside. Opposite, the generous sitting room provides a particularly impressive focal point with its large Inglenook fireplace, original brickwork, exposed beams and deep oak shelving with concealed storage. A deep bay window frames views across the open fields, while French doors lead directly into the
conservatory.

The conservatory is a wonderful light-filled addition, featuring a high glazed roof, double-glazed dark timber-effect composite frames, pale tiled flooring and double doors opening onto the terrace. Its outlook across the gardens makes this a superb room in which to relax throughout the year.

The downstairs accommodation also includes a stylish cloakroom with Heritage sanitaryware, an inset basin and useful storage, together with a new Worcester Bosch boiler discreetly housed within. A substantial storage cupboard provides further practical space.

The refurbished breakfast kitchen is beautifully in keeping with the character of the house, featuring a timeless Shaker-style design in soft neutral tones. It incorporates extensive floor and wall-mounted cabinetry, glass-fronted units, refurbished work surfaces, a Hotpoint double oven and grill, induction hob and integrated AEG dishwasher. There is ample space for an American-style fridge freezer and a generous breakfast bar with seating for four. Dual aspect windows overlook the gardens and ensure the room is filled with natural light. A useful boot room provides direct access to the rear garden.

First floor:
The first floor is reached via a beautifully carpeted oak staircase and opens onto an exceptionally spacious landing, complete with a large picture window overlooking the front of the property. The landing itself provides an attractive additional space, ideal for reading or creating a small study area.

The accommodation comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying high ceilings and having been comprehensively redecorated and, where required, replastered.
The first bedroom is a comfortable double with a lovely neutral finish and views over the front. The second, positioned opposite, is a generous dual-aspect guest bedroom, enjoying views across both the open countryside and the gardens, together with handsome oak doors and vintage-style black iron door furniture.

The principal bedroom is an impressive space, having originally formed two bedrooms and now providing an exceptional suite of generous proportions. Positioned to the rear, it enjoys a wonderful outlook across the gardens and surrounding countryside, with no properties overlooking it. There is ample space for a substantial bed and furniture, complemented by a new plush carpet and calm neutral décor. The adjoining en suite shower room features floor to-ceiling tiling, a Heritage vanity basin with storage, low-level WC and corner shower with Mira electric shower.

The family bathroom is equally well presented, with a bath, separate corner shower, modern vanity unit, inset WC and extensive storage. Floor-to-ceiling tiling, a large, obscured window and newly fitted vinyl flooring create a bright and practical space.
The loft is boarded and benefits from double insulation, a fitted ladder and lighting, providing excellent additional storage and making the upper level particularly practical.

Gardens & Grounds:
One of Ivycroft’s most compelling features is its exceptional approximately three-quarter acre plot. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private, extending across an unusually wide parcel of land and offering a remarkable combination of formal, productive and recreational spaces.

The front garden has been extensively improved, with newly landscaped borders, attractive reclaimed brick walls, wrought iron railings and gates, stone pillars, mature hedging and carefully selected planting. Open fields immediately beyond the property reinforce the idyllic rural setting, while the quiet country lane provides a wonderfully peaceful approach.

To the rear, the garden unfolds into a series of beautifully considered spaces. Tall evergreen trees and established hedging provide excellent screening, ensuring an exceptional degree of privacy. A raised seating terrace has been created where a former koi pond once stood, surrounded by attractive stonework and rockery-style planting. It provides a wonderful spot from which to enjoy the garden and watch the evening light.

Further raised terraces provide additional areas for outdoor dining and entertaining, with mature borders, old brickwork, picket fencing and established planting creating a characterful and romantic setting. An attractive arbour, covered with clematis and honeysuckle, leads through the garden and creates a lovely framework for the productive areas.

The garden has been designed with both pleasure and productivity in mind. There is a substantial enclosed growing area with raised beds, together with strawberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants and blackberries. A small fruit orchard produces apples, cooking apples, pears and plums, while a greenhouse provides further opportunity for growing.

Numerous mature trees, shrubs and hedges create year-round interest, complemented by hydrangeas, lilacs and extensive established borders. Several useful storage sheds and a substantial brick-built garden store provide ample accommodation for gardening equipment and tools, and an excellent hobby room offers the perfect space as a teenage pad, separate office, gym or remaining as a hobby room.

The property also benefits from a newly constructed carport, comfortably accommodating two cars, together with additional driveway parking and a smart sage-green garage door.
Gates provide access from the parking area directly into the gardens, while a garage with excellent ceiling height offers further storage and workshop potential.

The scale and versatility of the plot are exceptional, with the unusually wide frontage and substantial gardens offering considerable scope for those wishing to further enhance the property, subject to the necessary planning consents. Together, the beautifully refurbished
house, superb gardens, private parking and excellent range of outbuildings create a truly
special country home with an enviable combination of privacy, character and convenience.
