A Truly Exceptional Detached Family Home with an Independent Detached Annexe Set Within Extensive Gardens in the Current Tudor Grange Catchment - No Upward Chain
In the world of property; the term 'viewing is essential' can be somewhat overused - but in the case of the substantial home it really is true. The deceptively spacious accommodation (the main house itself being over 2600 square feet); the property occupies an expansive plot that has a detached bungalow in the rear garden that has a large open plan living area with fully fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and an en suite. The property has been in the same family ownership since it's original construction and throughout that time has been considerably altered, extended and improved. The house would ideally suit any family looking to combine to house a relative in the separate annexe or indeed any family looking for great flexible living space and an amazing garden.
Situated on Houndsfield Lane which is located in the small hamlet of Tidbury Green, nestling between Shirley and Earlswood. This small enclave contains a variety of properties ranging from cottages to large executive houses and bungalows. Surrounding Tidbury Green are many areas of open space, including the famous Earlswood Lakes in one direction and Bills Woods and Fisheries in the opposite direction, both providing pleasant recreation areas.
Schooling in Solihull is of particular renown and we are advised that the property falls into the current Tudor Grange Secondary School Catchment (subject to confirmation from SMBC Education Department) and that a school bus operates through Tidbury Green to the school campus. There is infant and junior schooling at Tidbury Green school a short walk from the property.
The main shopping centre in nearby Shirley offers a wide choice of Supermarkets, convenience and speciality stores, restaurants and hostelries and there are frequent bus services running along the A34 into Birmingham City Centre and Solihull Town Centre – boasting the vibrant and modern Touchwood Centre offering shopping facilities and evening entertainments. Having both Wythall and Whitlocks End train stations close by, providing a service to Birmingham City Centre and Stratford upon Avon. For more local shopping facilities, the modern village of Dickens Heath is approximately 1 mile from the property and has a Tesco Express, a chemist, doctors surgery and dentist.
Off the main Stratford Road leads Marshall Lake Road boasting the Retail Park and further down the A34 one will find the Cranmore, Widney, Monkspath and Solihull Business Parks and on to Blythe Valley Business Park which can be found at the junction with the M42 motorway, providing access to the Midland Motorway Network. A short drive down the M42 to Junction Six, you will find Birmingham International Airport and Rail Station.
An ideal location therefore for this superb property which is set back from the road behind a large gated driveway. The driveway extends to the side of the property to give access through the garden to the garage and the detached bungalow annexe. Being sold with no upward chain; viewing can be arranged via Melvyn Danes.
