Bittell Road, Barnt Green, B45

Summary
A distinctive Georgian property with striking Tudor Revival detailing, boasting over approximately 2,800 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation (incl. outbuildings), combining impressive period character with generous proportions throughout. The spacious reception rooms are complemented by a flexible use tanked cellar room, four large double bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing excellent space for modern family living. Outside, the property is equally impressive, with a south-facing rear garden, a side courtyard and two brick-built outbuildings, one currently arranged as a utility and the other as an outside office. A particularly spacious driveway leads to a former coach house, providing garage space with potential for conversion to annex accommodation (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The property is completely tucked away and approached via an approximately 100m (328ft) private driveway shared with just two other properties. Despite this secluded setting, Barnt Green high street, train station and sought-after local schooling are all within walking distance.

Description
The accommodation is approached via an entrance hall, which opens into a formal dining room featuring a characterful beamed ceiling, gas living flame fire set within a painted brick fireplace and an attractive large bay window with a door opening onto the rear garden. To the front of the property is a generous living room with a beamed ceiling, centred around a wood-burning stove set within an exposed brick inglenook fireplace, with double doors providing direct access onto the driveway. A further sitting room occupies the rear of the property and enjoys lovely original window shutters together with a gas living flame fire and attractive fireplace surround.

The kitchen/diner provides a wonderful modern and sociable space, with a generous breakfast island, granite worktops, several windows and a beautiful decorative antique cast iron range providing a striking focal point. Integrated appliances include a Rangemaster range oven and microwave, with space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A door from the kitchen leads into a useful side porch, providing access to the courtyard. At the end of the hall/dining room, a characterful door with stained glass opens into a wet shower room, which benefits from a vaulted ceiling and Velux window.

Also accessed from the entrance hall, stairs descend to the tanked cellar, providing a flexible-use room with the added benefit of a pantry cupboard and housing the central heating boiler.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to four generous double bedrooms, all retaining their own decorative cast iron fireplaces. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and drawers together with an en suite shower room. The second bedroom is another substantial double, with fitted wardrobes and an adjoining open closet incorporating a sink. There are two further double bedrooms, with a modern shower room conveniently positioned between them. A separate bathroom is accessed from the landing and includes an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank.

Outside
The property enjoys a highly private and secluded plot, approached via an approximately 100m (328ft) private driveway shared with just two other properties. The particularly spacious stone chipped front driveway provides ample parking and leads to a former coach house with a tall vaulted ceiling (possibility for annex conversion - subject to necessary planning permissions/regulations). To the rear, the south facing garden comprises a large raised patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a generous lower lawn enclosed by fenced boundaries and complemented by a range of established shrubs and a mature apple tree. A gated access leads directly onto Orchard Croft, providing particularly convenient pedestrian access into Barnt Green village. To the side, a private courtyard creates an excellent additional entertaining space and is complemented by two brick built outbuildings. One is currently used as a utility room, with space for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer, while the other serves as an outside office, featuring a vaulted ceiling together with power and internet connection.
