The first thing to make you aware of is that the current owners applied and had planning permission granted in 2021 for a substantial extension to the side, double storey to offer additional sitting room on the ground floor, with an additional two bedrooms on the first floor. Please do ask the agent for further details. permission granted in 2021 with Solihull MBC. Expired in June 2024. The existing property works exceptionally well as a family home and set on this popular central village development within an easy reach of the local schools, village centre, transport links and countryside walks. On the ground floor you are greeted by a welcoming hallway with downstairs WC. The family living room is a lovely size, generous in its proportions, and offering a bay window to deliver plenty of light and tranquil outlook. To the rear of the lounge is an open-plan kitchen and dining space, with breakfast bar and additional under-stairs pantry, as well as having a slightly converted garage to offer a utility, and a conservatory which works well for the kids to have their own lounge space. Upstairs, the hallway is spacious offering two double sized bedrooms, and a generous third bedroom, as well as a modern family bathroom. Outside, there is good parking to the front, and the house is set well back from the roadside, as well as offering a larger than usual rear garden plot, which does, as mentioned, lend itself easily to an extension. APPROACH The property is set back from the roadside on this popular and peaceful Kemps Green estate in the heart of the village. The pavement is deep with driveway running across the deep pavement which offers some extra guest parking options, as well as a generous driveway on the property with front lawn, and access into the garage and a porch. LIVING ACCOMMODATION Once through the porch you find yourself in the hallway which gives access into the living room, stairs up to the bedrooms and family bathroom, and having the benefit of a downstairs toilet. The WC is always handy in the family house, offering a vanity cupboard with hand wash basin and mixer tap, and a WC. There’s also a window to the front elevation for light. The living room is a lovely bright space, with a view through the bay window into the front garden which is a nice peaceful setting to relax in. What we love about this room is the size and the layout, which makes it easy to fit larger sofas, media centre and should you wish, it’s easy to add a feature fireplace. The lounge is neutrally presented with the benefit of wood laminate flooring, which works really well in a family home and continues through into the kitchen/diner to the rear. Keeping in theme with a family house, then the kitchen/dining room works exceptionally well, particularly with the large French doors to open out into the rear garden and patio. This is a perfect home, both for the family, and when entertaining to take the party outside. The kitchen is modern, offering a good selection of wall and base units with a cream hi-gloss finish, providing excellent work-space and breakfast bar, ideal for a couple of barstools when socialising, or sitting with a cup of coffee and work laptop. The kitchen offers a number of integrated appliances which include a one and a half sink and drainer, a single oven with grill and a four-ring gas hob over with splash-back and extractor hood, as well as a built-in fridge and dishwasher. This is a great space, and the dining area easily accommodates a family sized dining table with the benefit of a useful under-stairs pantry cupboard. Stepping to the side from the kitchen is a conservatory area, which as you can see from the photos and your viewing is working really well for the younger members of the family to have their own lounge space, to chill with their friends when they visit. Having a patio door leading out to the garden, with a further door into the utility. The garage has been partially converted over time to offer a utility area, which does take the pressure off the kitchen, providing plumbing and power for your white goods, as well as being home to the boiler. There’s also some good storage and counter space in here.

The second bedroom is set to the front of the house and works really well for the teenage member of the family to have a double bed with plenty of floor space for their gaming desk and storage. This room enjoys a view into the peaceful development through a large double glazed window ensuring plenty of natural light into the space.
