Why this home is Chosen… Situated in the heart of Sutton Coldfield and just a stone’s throw from Good Hope Hospital, this beautifully presented two-bedroom dormer bungalow occupies a generous plot and enjoys a stunning garden backing directly onto Rectory Park, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting rarely found so close to the town centre. Approaching the property, you are welcomed by an immaculate block-paved driveway, framed by attractive retaining walls and mature shrubs that create a striking and well-maintained frontage. Steps lead up to the front entrance where you are greeted by a useful and spacious porch, accessed through double doors, offering the perfect place for coats, shoes and everyday practicality. Come on in… Stepping through the front door, you enter a light and airy hallway, enhanced by natural light flowing through from a doorway at the far end which leads directly out to the rear garden. This central hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home, bright, welcoming and thoughtfully laid out. Conveniently located just off the hallway is a downstairs WC, a practical addition for guests and everyday use. To the right of the hallway sits the dining room, a wonderful space for entertaining family and friends. This room flows seamlessly through a double doorway into the generous lounge, creating an inviting layout. During the colder months, the living spaces feel warm, cosy and welcoming, making them the perfect retreat on winter evenings. The lounge can also be accessed from the hallway via its own doorway. To the rear of the property, a small yet extremely practical extension provides additional living space with bi-fold doors opening out onto the garden. This versatile area could serve as a home office, snug, reading room or garden room, offering flexibility depending on your lifestyle while beautifully connecting the interior to the outdoor space. Positioned to the left of the entrance hall is the ground floor double bedroom, a well-proportioned room featuring a bay window overlooking the front of the property, allowing natural light to flood the space. This bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, making it ideal for guests, family members, or convenient ground-floor living. Further along the hallway towards the rear of the home, the stairs rise to the first floor. Adjacent to the staircase is the kitchen, offering ample workspace and storage along with a useful breakfast bar that makes the room both practical and sociable. The kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and gas hob and provides plenty of space for everyday cooking and gathering. Returning to the back of the hall, there is an extremely useful utility and laundry room with additional storage cupboards and appliance space. From here, a door leads out to the garden. Upstairs, the property boasts a fabulous master suite. This impressive bedroom features a beautiful centrepiece fireplace with provision for a television above, creating a striking focal point and adding character to the space. The suite also benefits from a separate walk-in wardrobe and a superb ensuite bathroom, providing a luxurious and private retreat. The garden offers a beautifully maintained patio area, an ideal setting for outdoor seating and summer dining. The garden beyond is truly something special. From the patio, a charming small bridge crosses over a small, picturesque pond, leading onto lawned gardens that stretch toward the rear boundary. Backing onto Rectory Park, the garden feels wonderfully private and natural, filled with birdsong and wildlife. During the summer months it becomes a peaceful oasis of tranquillity, perfect for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery. Rectory Road is perfectly suited to downsizers, professionals or hospital staff, thanks to its close proximity to Good Hope Hospital. The property also offers excellent commuter links, with the M42 motorway just a short drive away, providing convenient access across the Midlands and beyond. For leisure and lifestyle, the renowned The Belfry Hotel & Resort is nearby, offering championship golf courses, outdoor activities, and a superb modern gym and spa. Regular bus routes run along Rectory Road providing easy access into Birmingham, while Sutton Coldfield railway station is within easy reach, connecting you to Birmingham and the wider rail network.
