Furlong Cottage, Hall Lane, Hagley

A fabulous detached character house which has been renovated and partly extended in recent years to a particularly high standard and specification. Internally the property offers stylish contemporary living but with character features. With four bedrooms, master with en-suite, fabulous lounge/diner, additional reception room providing snug/dining room/office and lovely living dining kitchen with underfloor heating.

Thoughtfully laid out gardens and external areas and the bonus of a substantial detached building at the rear which, although appearing like a bungalow, provides a home office, and a stunning entertainment suite with space for a full size snooker table and bar. This could offer further potential, subject to planning consent, to provide a distinct annexe perhaps for a dependant relative or teenage crash pad or larger home office. There is plenty of parking with electrically gated parking to both front and rear. In total the accommodation extends to in excess of 3,000 sqft (281m2).

Located close to and overlooking the grounds to Hagley Hall it is well placed for lovely countryside walks including through the grounds of Hagley Hall itself and the Clent Hills. The Lyttelton Arms is within a short walk and amenities within Hagley village including an excellent range of shops, bars, restaurants, highly regarded schooling which is particularly valued by families with children and village railway station with direct services to Birmingham, Worcester and even London Marylebone. Easy motorway access is available at junction 3 or 4 of the M5 motorway.

Offered with no upward chain, this stunning property really must be viewed. Estimated to originally date from around 1825 with later additions. It provides spacious accommodation and a particularly high specification including zoned central heating to ground and first floor with Acova column radiators which are of a timeless period style, and windows have been updated by The Harborne Sash Window Company. There are log and multi fuel burners, and oak flooring to part, plus CAT5 cabling, CCTV and alarm.

The enclosed porch has an impressive oak front door, door leading to a long reception hall with oak flooring, access to useable cellar, ideal for wine storage and stylish staircase to first floor.

There is a snug/dining room/office with dual aspect and small arched windows which formed the main original entrance to the house.

Lounge/diner is particularly large as it was formerly two rooms with the focal point a log burner.

A part vaulted ceiling is a feature of the L-shaped living/dining/kitchen with multi fuel burner, 2 pairs of french doors to the garden, limestone flooring with underfloor heating and distinct kitchen area.

There is a guest cloakroom with wc and vessel wash basin, and large store cupboards. Utility/preparation room with inset Belfast sink, excellent range of storage units, plus a very useful drying area.

At first floor level, a landing gives access to a stunning master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed roof purlins, lovely views and en-suite shower room with Porcelanosa fittings with shower, vanity wash basin and wc.

Bedroom 2 also has a part vaulted ceiling and the welcome benefit of a walk in dressing room, with scope for conversion of part to an en-suite shower room/ WC.

There are two further bedrooms making four in total. The house bathroom is particularly impressive with bath having shower over, wc and wall mounted vanity wash basin. All in all a very stylish home.

Outside there is a side path and log store, garden with patio and lawn and original cottage garden walling. The garden could be enlarged if necessary, but presently there are electric gates which lead to a gravel parking area directly from Hall Lane. This could easily be changed to a larger grassed garden if this area of parking was not required.

There is a brick tool shed and further shed, concealed space for hot tub and winding path leading to the substantial detached entertainment suite with air conditioning, ceiling projector, impressive bar and guest WC. and home office currently with pool table. This could have further potential as an annexe perhaps for a dependant relative subject to the usual local authority consents.
