SELLER’S THOUGHTS The vendors have loved living here for the past 25 years where their family has grown up. They have loved the feel of this popular and private road, close to the Jacobean hall, with the road lined with lime trees. The neighbours are friendly and share a WhatsApp group to support one another. The spacious home with large garden has been amazing for the family and when friends/family visit to enjoy the peaceful setting. Rectory Lane is a highly desirable location set within Castle Bromwich village, on a private residential road. The properties along the lime tree lined lane are all unique and executive family homes. This particular property is nicely set back from the roadside, enjoining the benefits of a front lawn which is nicely protected by trees and bushes, as well as having a generous block paved driveway to the front for several family cars. You have access to the garage via and up and over door, a storm porch to arrive home, as well as access along the side of the property to reach the rear garden. Welcoming inside. Your first impressions are of space and style with this home being gorgeously presented, an eclectic mix of modern and traditional. First of all the entrance hall is super spacious, and warm with a welcoming grand entrance that you would expect from this style of home in this location. The hallway is neutrally presented with feature wall covering, as well as having the most delightful real wood flooring which flows around the ground floor. The hallway has the benefit of a generous sized family cloakroom, with stairs rising up to the four bedrooms and main family bathroom. The hallway gives access to the living room, dining room and around to the kitchen and further accommodation. A great little feature of the hallway is a double sized built-in storage cupboard, which has been ideally kitted out to hang coats and store shoes, and great in this family home to cater for everybody’s needs to tuck coats out the way. The cloakroom is always an important room in any family home, having the continuation of the hall flooring, with a WC, and hand wash basin with Victorian style taps and splash-back mosaic tiling. We love the rounded feature window, which adds a nice style to this room, having both radiator and lighting. The family living room is set to the one side of the property. A spacious and stylishly presented space, light and airy, and enjoying the view through the French patio doors looking towards the south-facing landscaped rear garden. There is no shortage of light in this room, having windows to the front and rear, as well as to the side. This comfortable family living room delivers plenty of floor space, travelling the full depth of the house; ideal for several sofas, media centre and enjoying a focal Gazco remote control log fire. The room is complimented by plastered coving around the ceilings, stylish wall lighting and boasting a bay window which gives some extra floor space, as well as windows to the side. We also love how the French patio doors open out into the generous conservatory, which is perfect for a family or when entertaining. A lovely comfortable room. The family dining room is located off the hallway. A delightful space, generous with its floor area, and the continuation of the oak flooring that runs through from the hallway. This room certainly feels full of character and charm. There’s plenty of space here for a large dining table, as well as room around the outside for additional storage cabinets, and as you see even the family piano. The room has the benefit of a modern radiator and French doors that stretch out into the conservatory, so you can easily reach the kitchen, or again when entertaining works really well. Also enjoys the benefit of the landscaped garden view. Likely to be the central hub of this family home is this most delightful and prestigious kitchen/breakfast space. |Located on the centre of the ground floor accommodation. The owners had the kitchen completely bespoke designed around their requirements, and as you see from the pictures it is modern with an abundance of storage cupboards to meet all your catering needs. First of all if you stepped through from the hallway, you will notice the delightful view of the south-facing garden, with a large window to bring in plenty of natural light. Secondly, is the large central island, which offers covers on all four sides, as well as plenty of space for bar stools around to socialise, and the great entertaining space for friends, being able to cater and converse at the same time. The kitchen offers a number of fitted appliances, which includes a set of double ovens, a Hotpoint combi-duo electric hob, with splash-back and extractor hood above, as well as a Baumatic microwave /combi oven built-in and dishwasher. Furthermore, a nice feature that was added to this when designed is the coffee station, perfectly in reach of the central Island to reach across for your morning coffee whilst studying your morning paper and croissant. There’s also space next to the coffee machine for an American-sized fridge/freezer, the ideal wall for a television and modern radiators. You’ll see that this space works really well when entertaining, perfect for the family, and having the door to the side that leads into the conservatory, again, opening up into the dining room and living room. There is an archway that leads to the two additional bedrooms/offices, separate and well engineered utility and downstairs shower room. Moving through from the kitchen along the side corridor is access to the downstairs shower room which is perfect as an additional cloakroom, or should you decide to use these two additional reception rooms for bedrooms, then this shower room will take care of those needs. The shower room has a corner shower with mains-fed controls, a WC with dual flush, and a pedestal wash basin with mixer tap and splash-back tiling. The delightful tiles that flow through from the kitchen continue along this corridor into the shower room. Also off the corridor is the utility space, which again has been thoughtfully planned out, to offer a good compliment of units, a Franke sink with mixer tap, provisions for washing machine and separate dryer, space for a fridge/freezer, good work-surface space, and plenty of additional cupboards to keep all your cleaning and washing appliances out of the way of the kitchen. Just along the corridor is a handy storage cupboard which is ideal for keeping files and additional storage. The corridor also gives access to the garage. Along this corridor, are two further rooms, one to front and one to rear of the house, which are flexible in their uses. Currently for the homeowners this works well for their individual office spaces, however, does give the opportunity for two further bedrooms/reception rooms, gaming room or gym etc. Again, having the advantage of the downstairs shower room, means that using these as bedrooms, is easily managed and turns this house into a 6 bed. The rear office room has a double glazed window providing a view of the garden, it is a nice size and as you see is currently fitted out with office furniture, to give you a demonstration of how you could use this space. The front room is nicely styled, being used as a comfy sitting space and office, but has that flexible use if needed to be another bedroom. The property also benefits from a large conservatory across the rear of the house which is a great addition to this home. As you can see from the photos and on your visit, it is flexible, having a nice seating area which is perfect for a relaxing, a coffee or a glass of wine, as well as a dining set, easily placed here which is great for entertaining in the warmer months, particularly with the large French doors opening to the south- facing rear garden. Because of the access from either the kitchen, the living room or the dining room, and being able to open all these doors, open out the entire ground floor for you particularly when entertaining. The conservatory has a tall roof, a number of windows, and is essentially heated so you can use this space all year round. Welcome upstairs. The delightful and neutral style of the ground floor continues through into the bedrooms and family bathroom accommodation upstairs. Just like the entrance hall downstairs, the landing is also spacious, and delivers that airy feeling where you know a busy household can move around freely during the morning rush hour. The landing enjoys a gallery style spindle staircase, with a large leaded window to the front which is a superb feature, adding a traditional touch to the space and keeping with the homes period design, ensuring plenty of natural light flows into the stair well and landing. The landing has a modern radiator, a dressing station with power which is perfect for hairdryers and straighteners, as well as a useful storage cupboard with a window. Let’s take a look at the bedrooms. The principal bedroom is located at the rear of the house enjoying that delightful view of the rear landscaped south-facing garden. The bedroom delivers excellent floor space, neutral in its presentation, with plenty of area for a large bed, and an abundance of furniture. This bedroom benefits from a good compliment of built-in wardrobes, which are deep and stretch wider than you would think, offering plenty of space for hanging clothes and storing shoes. This room is nicely complimented by easy to manage flooring, wall and ceiling lighting, and an archway to an en-suite. The en suite is super stylish having a recently re-fitted suite comprising of a vanity unit with deep drawers for toiletries, with a sink and chrome mixer tap, a WC with dual flush, and a large corner shower with power-shower, mains-fed handheld and rain drench attachments. The en-suite is in keeping with the décor of the main bedroom, having a frosted leaded window to the side elevation as well as a modern ladder radiator for towels. The second bedroom is located at the rear house, again, enjoying that delightful south-facing garden view through a large double glazed window to ensure plenty of natural light flows into the bedroom. This light and bright bedroom is spacious, having the benefit of two double built-in wardrobes, and leaving plenty of space for a double bed if required, and a handy corner for home working desk or additional storage. Bedroom number three is also set to the rear of the house, again, a tastefully presented bedroom, with delightful garden view, having a large double glazed window and the benefit of a good sized fitted wardrobe with modern sliding doors. Bedroom number four, on the first floor, maybe the smallest, however, as you will see from your visit will easily accommodate a double bed. Storage is not a problem having both a double and single fitted wardrobe for your convenience. This bedroom is tastefully presented with neutral design, and feature floral wall covering, and having a large double glazed leaded window to the front elevation providing you with a restful view into the front garden. The family bathroom is a really great size, and ideal to look after the other three bedrooms on the top floor. The bathroom offers a bath with Victorian-style taps and shower, a Victorian-style WC, pedestal wash basin with individual hot and cold taps, having period-style tiling around, and a useful cupboard for storing away toiletries, which stretches into the eaves. The Property benefits from a single and a half size garage. Having up and over vehicle access door to the front, with side personal door leading into the utility corridor. The garage is also home to the Worcester boiler, which the owners are currently using on a Hive system, it’s also home to the electricity consumer unit, and provides excellent storage, lighting and power. There is even a tap and additional plumbing facilities, should you require additional washing machines in the garage area. We talked earlier about the unique address within Castle Bromwich village, being an easy walking distance to the Hall, yet the gardens of this road are also generous, and a key feature to why you’re probably looking at this address. The garden firstly has the benefit of being south- facing, is lovely and private, beautifully landscaped with flowerbeds, bushes and trees all around, and having the benefits of various breakout zones for dining, entertaining and of course that obligatory barbecue. Having access from the conservatory is perfect for entertaining, or for the kids to be kept under a watchful eye and there is also access around the side of the property to return back to the driveway via a gate. There’s a nice patio area close to the house, which is perfect for setting out an outdoor dining set and barbecue area, and then you move to the garden, with another ideal sitting space at the rear. There’s a generous sized summer house. The summer house offers good storage, being wooden construction with French doors and windows, whilst to the rear of the summer house, is a handy storage area for your garden tools, lawnmower etcetera and a good place to tuck away your summer furniture in the winter months.
