Shottery Grove, Sutton Coldfield

A beautifully presented, considerably improved four/five-bedroom detached family residence, offering an exceptional balance of contemporary living, versatile accommodation and genuine family practicality, enjoying a wonderful position backing onto the playing fields of Sutton Coldfield Rugby Club.

There are houses that look impressive, and then there are homes that have been thoughtfully designed around the people who live in them. This is most certainly the latter. Lovingly maintained, significantly enhanced and carefully adapted over the years, this outstanding family residence offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home that feels every bit as practical as it is beautiful. From busy weekday mornings to leisurely Sunday afternoons, from intimate evenings together to occasions when the whole family comes to visit, this is a property that makes room for it all.

Set back from the road behind an extensive block-paved driveway, providing generous off-road parking for the entire family and visiting guests, the property makes an inviting first impression. There is access to the property's integral garage and side access to the property's rear garden.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hallway, with a convenient downstairs cloakroom and access to the principal ground-floor accommodation.To the left, a beautifully appointed formal lounge provides a welcome contrast to the more open, sociable spaces beyond. Generously proportioned and complemented by an attractive bay window, soft neutral décor and a striking textured feature wall, this is a room made for quieter moments. Whether settling down together for a film, enjoying a peaceful evening or gathering around at Christmas, it offers a wonderfully comfortable retreat from the pace of everyday family life.

The true centrepiece of this home, however, is its magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family living space — a room that perfectly captures what modern family living should feel like. Impressively designed and finished to an excellent standard, the contemporary kitchen features sleek, high-gloss cabinetry, elegant quartz work surfaces and an abundance of storage and preparation space. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, AEG oven and coffee machine, together with a wine cooler, creating a kitchen that is as capable of hosting an evening with friends as it is handling the everyday demands of family life.At its heart sits a substantial, beautifully designed dining table, perfectly positioned beneath contemporary pendant lighting. More than simply somewhere to eat, this is a place for everyone to come together. Morning coffees, after-school conversations, family celebrations and Sunday roasts all have their place here, with generous seating that comfortably accommodates different generations around one table.

Flowing naturally from the dining area is a superb family living space, beautifully complemented by a rich, contemporary colour palette, striking feature wall, recessed ceiling lighting and attractive garden-facing patio doors. The arrangement allows everyone to enjoy their own activity whilst remaining connected — cooking, dining, relaxing or entertaining in one wonderfully cohesive environment. The entire space feels considered, welcoming and exceptionally well suited to modern family life.Practicality has certainly not been overlooked, with a separate, well-appointed utility room providing additional cabinetry, work surfaces, a sink and dedicated laundry facilities, keeping the everyday essentials neatly away from the principal living accommodation.

One of the property's most appealing qualities is its remarkable flexibility. A further ground-floor extension provides an additional, generously sized reception room, currently arranged as a fifth bedroom. Beautifully presented, with direct access towards the rear garden, this versatile space offers a wealth of possibilities. It could comfortably serve as a guest bedroom, home office, additional sitting room or independent retreat for an older family member.Importantly, the room is complemented by an adjacent wet room, finished with attractive natural stone-style tiling and incorporating a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. Together, these spaces provide an especially appealing arrangement for multigenerational living, offering family members the opportunity to enjoy greater independence whilst remaining very much part of the home.

To the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfortable and adaptable space for growing families. The principal bedroom is a particularly inviting retreat, featuring generous proportions, fitted wardrobe storage and the luxury of its own contemporary en-suite shower room, beautifully finished with rich, textured tiling, a glazed shower enclosure and modern sanitaryware.The remaining bedrooms are equally well presented, offering an attractive combination of double-bedroom accommodation, useful storage and individual character. Whether required for children, teenagers, visiting family or working from home, the arrangement provides the flexibility to adapt as family needs change. A stylish, modern family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation, featuring contemporary tiling, a bath with shower facilities and a sleek vanity unit.

Outside, the rear garden is every bit as welcoming as the accommodation within. Thoughtfully landscaped and lovingly established, it features an attractive, curved lawn surrounded by paved pathways, mature planted borders, ornamental trees and a variety of established shrubs. A delightful seating area creates an inviting setting for summer evenings, whilst a charming timber summerhouse adds further character and enjoyment to this wonderful outdoor space.Backing directly onto the expansive playing fields of Sutton Coldfield Rugby Club, the garden enjoys an appealing open aspect beyond its mature boundary planting, giving this already generous family setting a wonderful sense of openness. It is easy to imagine children playing on the lawn, summer barbecues with friends or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by greenery.

The location is equally compelling.

Shottery Grove enjoys a convenient residential setting within the ever-popular Walmley area of Sutton Coldfield, placing a wealth of everyday amenities within easy reach. Walmley Village offers a welcoming collection of local shops, convenience stores, cafés, public houses, a library and essential services, whilst the wider shopping, dining and leisure facilities of Sutton Coldfield town centre are readily accessible.Families are particularly well catered for, with The Deanery Church of England Primary School close by, alongside Walmley Infant and Junior Schools and Bishop Walsh Catholic School within the surrounding area. Excellent local bus connections, including services towards Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham, together with access to Wylde Green railway station and the wider road network, make the location practical for commuters and family life alike.Ultimately, what makes this property so special is not simply its generous accommodation, stylish presentation or desirable setting. It is the way every part of the home works together. There is room to entertain and room to escape, space for children to grow and space for older generations to remain close. There are beautiful places to gather, practical spaces that make everyday life easier and a wonderful garden in which to enjoy it all.

This is a proper family home in every sense of the word — beautifully maintained, thoughtfully improved and ready to welcome its next chapter.

Early internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, versatility and exceptional lifestyle accommodation this outstanding family residence has to offer.
