THE PROPERTY

Situated on a sought after Great Barr avenue, this beautiful family home will warm the hearts of all viewers. The property has been very well looked after by the current owner’s family since 1959 and therefore they would be delighted to pass it on to a family that will continue to look after it for years to come. Set back from Grove Vale Avenue, the property begins with a patterned concrete driveway allowing for plenty of off road parking and leading to the garage. A manicured lawn with flowers to the side helps complete the stunning kerb appeal with this home.

Entering through a good sized porch, viewers will find themselves in a light hallway, with enough space for a small furniture unit or side table. With the staircase to the first floor at the end of the hallway, there are doors off to the breakfast kitchen and lounge. The lounge is a phenomenal reception room, as it is a large L-shaped room with ample space for a large sofa suite and other furniture units should you desire them. A double glazed patio door to the rear garden is flanked by full height windows allowing plenty of light into the lounge.

A running theme throughout this house is the tasteful décor and it is certainly of note in the lounge, with designed wallpaper around a gorgeous feature fireplace. To the front of the lounge are bi-folding doors through to the dining room. There is smaller feature fireplace in the dining room but the show stealer is the curved bay window, which allows for a full sized family dining table with plenty of space to manoeuvre.

The breakfast kitchen is a lovely long room, which owes much to the extension (along with the lounge). There is space for a family breakfast table near to the side access door, without encroaching on the main kitchen area. A range of wall and base units are on show, with excellent work space and integrated appliances such as electric hob, grill and oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

Moving upstairs, this home has the rare quality of three double bedrooms, all with bay windows and all well decorated. The family bathroom has a separate bath and shower cubicle, with the toilet being in a separate room altogether along with another hand basin. There is a large loft hatch with fixed ladder up to the spacious attic with is insulated and mostly boarded.

Finishing out to the rear, the property has a breath-taking garden. Mostly lawn, the garden is bordered by gorgeous flowers and shrubs that the photos simply cannot do justice. There is also a charming summer house situated at the bottom corner. A lovely block paved patio precedes the main garden area and continues round the side of the property past both the kitchen and garage side doors, and via a secure gate, to the front of the property.
