Station Road, Knowle, Solihull, B93 0HJ

A charming and beautifully extended Victorian cottage built in 1883 and situated in the heart of the highly desirable village of Knowle, combining an abundance of period character with stylish modern living. Benefitting from no upward chain, this delightful home retains many attractive original-style features, including fireplaces, polished wooden floorboards, decorative coving and Minton-style tiled flooring, whilst offering spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.

An enclosed porch leads through to the entrance hallway with attractive refurbished original tiled flooring. The cosy lounge is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys a bay window, feature fireplace, polished wooden floorboards, decorative coving and wall lighting, creating a warm and inviting reception room.

The separate dining room continues the character and charm, with a gas fuelled log burner, polished flooring and a useful pantry/storage cupboard. This lovely space opens into the impressive extended breakfast kitchen, a particularly attractive addition to the property, with a large roof lantern flooding the room with natural light and French doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen offers breakfast bar seating, an integrated wine fridge, Belfast-style sink with feature tap and space for an American-style fridge freezer, creating a wonderful space for everyday family living with the added benefit of under-floor heating.

Leading off the kitchen is a useful utility room with a vaulted ceiling, Velux roof window and space for laundry appliances, which in turn provides access to a modern ground floor shower room.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both retaining attractive feature fireplaces, with the principal bedroom also benefitting from built-in wardrobes. A third bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and is currently utilised as a home office, providing a versatile space that could equally accommodate a nursery or child's bedroom. Completing the first-floor accommodation is a spacious family bathroom with a four-piece suite incorporating a separate bath and shower enclosure.

A further staircase rises from the landing to a converted loft room with Velux roof windows, providing an excellent additional space for a home office, hobby room or occasional guest accommodation, subject to any relevant building regulations.

The rear garden is a particularly delightful feature of this characterful home, offering a surprisingly generous and private outdoor space for such a central village location. A paved patio and additional barked area and terrace provide excellent options for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst a good-sized lawn, mature trees and established shrubs create a pleasant and secluded setting. A Summer house with lighting, heating and internet provides an ideal working from home space or games room, whilst a substantial double garage offers exceptional versatility. Originally two single garages, now converted into one spacious garage with a replacement roof, the space benefits from two remote-controlled electric roller doors, lighting and electrics suitable for car charging and heating/air conditioning. Currently arranged to accommodate both parking and a home gym, with rubber gym style flooring to one half. The garage enjoys direct garden access and rear vehicular access and provides valuable off-road parking. An additional timber storage shed completes this impressive and versatile outdoor space, with further on-street parking available to the front of the property.

The property enjoys an enviable position within easy reach of Knowle's picturesque High Street, renowned for its excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional public houses and everyday amenities. The village is also particularly popular with families, with well-regarded local schooling including Knowle C of E Primary Academy and Arden Academy conveniently located nearby. For commuters, nearby Dorridge Railway Station provides services to Birmingham and London Marylebone, whilst the M42 motorway offers excellent connections to the wider motorway network. Solihull Town Centre, Birmingham Airport and the NEC are also readily accessible.

Combining the charm and individuality of a Victorian cottage with the benefits of thoughtfully extended accommodation, a delightful private garden and a highly sought-after village location, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with the added advantage of no upward chain.
