DESCRIPTION
A handsome Arts & Crafts-influenced family home occupying an established position in Wylde Green, combining attractive period architecture with a sophisticated and sympathetic interior.
Occupying an established position on Penns Lane, this handsome Arts & Crafts influenced residence is a substantial period family home combining attractive original detailing with a sophisticated and sympathetic interior.
The property retains much of the character associated with its period, including timbered elevations, leaded and decorative glazing, generous proportions and feature fireplaces. Internally, these traditional elements sit comfortably alongside a carefully considered contemporary finish, creating a home which feels both characterful and practical.
The reception hall immediately introduces the character of the house, with original timber flooring, wall panelling, decorative stained and leaded glazing, and an attractive staircase rising to the first floor. The welcoming hallway provides access to the generous drawing room; a beautifully proportioned principal reception room with a broad bay window incorporating leaded glazing, attractive herringbone timber flooring and a characterful inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. Deep cornicing and the retained period detailing give the room a particularly elegant feel.
Across the rear of the house, the extended kitchen, dining and family room forms the main everyday living area. The space has been thoughtfully designed to retain a clear sense of individual zones, with a cohesive contemporary finish throughout including Herringbone-style flooring that runs throughout the space. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of painted cabinetry, extensive granite work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast seating, complemented by integrated appliances and a traditional AGA. An integrated surround sound speaker system enhances the space for everyday living and entertaining.
The family area incorporates fitted cabinetry and a contemporary feature fireplace, while a wide run of glazed bi-folding doors brings in excellent natural light and provides a direct connection with the rear terrace with its out door kitchen and garden.
Positioned off the kitchen is access to the garage and the separate utility room that provides useful additional storage and practical laundry space.
The staircase rises to a bright first-floor landing with attractive leaded glazing and period detailing, creating a continuation of the character seen throughout the ground floor. A generous principal bedroom with windows to two aspects, fitted wardrobes and a calm, neutral finish benefits from its own en-suite shower room, finished with full-height tiling, a glazed shower enclosure, contemporary vanity unit and WC.
Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double bedroom offering plenty of natural light together with a modern en-suite shower room with tiled walls, glazed shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC.
Bedrooms three and four are two further comfortable double bedrooms, bedroom three has a beautiful arched feature window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom five is currently used as a study but would equally suit use as a child’s bedroom or nursery. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
The loft is divided into two useful storage areas, providing excellent additional space.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property is set back from Penns Lane behind a wide private driveway providing ample parking and access to the integral garage. The front elevation is particularly attractive, displaying the Arts & Crafts character of the house through its timber detailing, leaded windows, steeply pitched tiled roof and distinctive gables.
To the rear, glazed doors from the principal living space open onto a broad paved terrace, creating a natural extension of the house during the warmer months. Stone balustrading and steps lead down to a generous lawn, with established hedging and mature planting providing a good degree of privacy.
There is further paved space to the side, a useful garden store and a gardeners WC accessed off the rear porch.
