Entering the property through the front door and onto the marble flooring which runs throughout most of the ground floor. Around to the left of the hallway there is a utility room and another access door. On this side of the property is the kitchen which extends into an orangery providing excellent light and a fantastic seating area. The kitchen is fitted to a high specification and has a central chef island that doubles up as a breakfast bar. The kitchen has granite work surfaces and built in appliances.

Back to the entrance hall and there is access to a reception room that could be a large study or snug or sixth bedroom and large cloakroom. There is also access to a formal dining room and a spectacular living room with light coming in from the dual aspect.

Round to the right of the hallway there is one of the five/six double bedrooms with an ensuite and Jacuzzi bath. There is also a further downstairs WC on this floor.

Seller Insight Surrounded by mature greenery, this secluded, private property has been the happy family home of the current

owners for 14 years. “Our two children have grown up here, passing from teenagers to adulthood and we have all thoroughly enjoyed living here since 2001. Now that they have grown up and moved out we simply want to be closer to our daughter, so we can enjoy our grandchildren as they grow up.” The house is conveniently located in Balsall Common, which has a great range of services and is within easy reach of Solihull Touchwood Centre, Leamington Spa and Coventry, as well as the UK motorway network. “If you were to imagine the UK motorway network as an X - we are at the very centre!”

The whole of the rear living areas of the house are beautifully naturally lit - so Kitchen/orangery, Living room and dining room benefit enormously from being south facing; the marble floor - combined with the fabulous entry of light it enhances the Mediterranean feel. With the kitchen / orangery having been redeveloped seven years ago, the family have found themselves drawn to the space, where they now spend most of their time. “It is the focal point of friends and family activity - drinking an ‘aperitivo’ whilst preparing lunch or dinner means no one is isolated in the kitchen!”

The unusual “U” shaped composition of the house creates distinctive zones. There is plenty of space to utilize the arrangement to best suit the needs of any occupants. “If you wanted to work from home, there are options where you could place an office - either downstairs or upstairs. “In fact my ‘office’ did not even take up a room - I had my desk and working area upstairs in a large alcove on the landing.”

In a nutshell, the best feature of the property is SPACE - the house is like a ‘tardis’ once you enter, it opens out. It was

like having three dwellings in one,” describe the current owners. “We had the downstairs which incorporates a master bedroom suite and our two children had half of the upstairs each. With the design of the property this gave an apartment feel to both as they each had a ‘wing’ comprising large bedroom with en suite and large lounge. There is also plenty of space outside for cars to be parked securely out of sight of the road - all four of us had cars of our own, which were easily accommodated with adequate space left for friends and family to park as well - so we ended up being the hub of social activity!”

The stairway to the first floor has a good sized sky light, there is also a large alcove on the landing.. On the first floor there are a further four double bedrooms two with ensuite bathrooms. There is also a main refitted family bathroom.

Outside there are private and well maintained gardens to all sides of the property. There is also access to the gardeners toilet/boiler room. To the front there are further gardens with ample parking and a double garage.

The grounds are so useable, as a parent, it is nice to know that when the front gates are closed,

the children are completely safe to enjoy playing with their friends and in the sunshine.”

Historically part of Warwickshire, Solihull is one of the most prosperous towns in the English Midlands. In November 2013, the uSwitch Quality of Life Index named Solihull the “best place to live” in the United Kingdom. The motto of Solihull is Urbs in Rure (Town in Country).

Solihull’s name is commonly thought to have derived from the position of its parish church, St Alphege, on a ‘soily’ hill. The church was built on a hill of stiff red marl, which turned to sticky mud in wet weather.

Solihull probably came into being about a thousand years ago, as a clearing in the forest to which people would come to trade. The town is noted for its historic architecture, which includes surviving examples of timber framed Tudor style houses and shops. The historic Solihull School dates from 1560 (although not on its present site). The red sandstone parish church of St. Alphege dates from a similar period.

Excellent communication links with the M42 (J4 and J5) which provides access to the M40 providing motorway access to London, the M6 and the North West and the M5 and the South West. Birmingham International Airport is a short drive away, as well as the hub of the Midlands rail network, the newly refurbished New Street. Solihull train station provides direct access to London Marylebone.
