St. Bernards Road, Solihull

A deceptive and charming period cottage, located on one of Solihull’s most prestigious roads, offering approx. 2676 sq ft of living accommodation to the main house and approx. 1111 sq ft of garaging, office and gym space.

Upon arrival, the property is set back beyond a quaint brick wall and most deceptive upon approach.

There is driveway parking to the immediate front of the property ahead of the electronic gates that lead up the rest of the block paved driveway to the side and rear of the property.

Quirky in its nature, this detached period cottage has a formal entrance hall from the first driveway, yet the current vendors frequently use the rear door that leads into the rear boot room and through to the family kitchen, living and dining area. The solid stone flooring and charming wooden beams are just two of the characterful features that enhance the historic charm that resonates throughout the property.

The country style kitchen enjoys plentiful storage, integrated appliances and a gas AGA. The island has room for a few bar stools, creating the option to dine informally throughout the day. The open living and dining area is perfectly situated adjacent to the kitchen with room for a comfortable lounge seating area with attractive fireplace and an additional reception space with room for a large dining table, perfect for entertaining. The French doors lead from the dining area onto the patio, inviting the garden in during the warmer months.

The formal living room with a large open fireplace, traditional wooden panelling and herringbone wooden flooring transform this room into the upmost cosy living space, perfect to unwind in the evening. The formal reception hallway is situated just off the living room, which could also be used as a private study.

A further two reception rooms, both currently dressed as a snug and living room, provide versatile accommodation as a playroom or games room perhaps. The snug enjoys doors onto the garden, allowing a copious amount of natural light into this versatile space. The guest WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are four bedrooms to the first floor, including the principal bedroom situated to the rear elevation with walk through dressing area and ensuite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from built in wardrobes and an ensuite with bathroom with a shower over the bath. Bedroom three and four are both double bedrooms, enjoying fitted storage and share use of the family bathroom with a luxury slipper bath.

Grounds and Garaging
Externally, the rear patio and lawn enjoy a south-westerly aspect, creating the perfect space to entertain in the summer months. The garden is most private from neighbouring properties with an established variety of greenery and trees.

The spacious driveway and separate detached garage provides parking for multiple vehicles. There is an additional room to the rear of the garage, providing versatile accommodation, currently used as a gym.

The garage also benefits from accommodation above, currently providing a useful office space, perfect for those that work from home.
