Situation
The property is situated on the south side of Harborne Road, just past its junction with Vicarage Road. Birmingham City Centre lies less than two miles to the east and is easily accessible by regular busses along Harborne Road itself or by tram nearby on Hagley Road. Fiveways railway station is approximately 0.7 mile distant and just one stop from Birmingham New Street station. Access to the Midlands motorway network can be found via J6 of the M6 (4.5 miles) and J3 of the M5 (5.5 miles).
Description
64 Harborne Road is a handsome double fronted detached house, built in the mid 1930's and offering spacious living accommodation set over two storeys. Presently totalling approximately 3,481 sq ft (325 sq m) the property is certainly large enough to comfortably accommodate family life for most, however for those seeking something more substantial there is plenty of potential to add to the existing space as required (subject to consents).
A planning consent from 2005 which has now lapsed allowed for a loft conversion to provide two additional bedrooms and a shower room. There appears to be further significant scope to create side and/or rear extensions although buyers should note that any such extensions would require Birmingham City Council approval as well as Calthorpe Estates approval.
The house is set well back from the road and is approached via a tarmacadam driveway leading up to the open porch. The double front door has charming decorative stained and leaded glass upper inserts and leads into the particularly spacious reception hall. There is a natural stone fireplace and multi-fuel stove, ideal for heating the core of the house on colder days. A beautiful stained and leaded glass window above the stairs is an impressive feature which also allows natural light into this central part of the house. Off the hall is a large guest cloakroom WC.
The three large reception rooms radiate off the reception hall. The sitting room is the largest of the three and enjoys a delightful rear aspect with delightful views of the garden through a wide bow window with central double doors. The focal point of the room is a charming inglenook with decorative stained and leaded glass windows to either side and a natural stone fireplace with multi-fuel stove.
The second reception room serves as a further living room/music room and has a wide bow window to the front and a wide fireplace with marble surround and hearth. The third reception room is used as a dining room and also has a wide bow window to the front and an open fireplace with tiled insert and dark wood surround.
The kitchen is fitted with white fronted base and wall mounted units and contrasting acrylic work-surfaces. There is a Neff electric oven and grill, 5 ring gas hob with concealed extractor over, one and a half bowl sink, and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A part-glazed door leads out to the side courtyard and an internal window looks through to the conservatory and views of the garden beyond.
Off the kitchen is the cosy breakfast room which has built-in cupboards either side of a chimney breast and double doors opening into the large timber framed and double glazed conservatory. The conservatory is a most enjoyable space to be in, providing panoramic views of the garden and plenty of space for a seating area and separate eating area for informal dining. Double doors provide access out to the garden.
On the first floor, the four excellent bedrooms radiate off a fabulous gallery landing with excellent natural light coming from two decorative stained and leaded glass windows over the stairs. The landing lends itself ideally for use as an office/study area as the present owners have done for years. From the landing is an access hatch to the large loft space which offers excellent scope for conversion if required.
The principal bedroom suite is impressively proportioned and enjoys splendid views of the rear garden through a wide bow window and has extensive fitted wardrobes to one wall. The en suite is spacious and also enjoys views of the rear garden. There is a corner bath with shower over, a wall hung WC, and twin wash basins set upon a wall-hung vanity unit with storage drawers.
Bedroom two is also a particularly large bedroom, with bow window to the front and superb storage with an entire wall of built-in wardrobes with storage cupboards above. Bedroom three has a decoratively leaded glass bay window to the front, a fitted wardrobe and a wash basin. Bedroom four overlooks the rear garden and, whilst the smallest of the four bedrooms, it is still a comfortable double-sized room.
The house bathroom has a bath, separate shower cubicle, and wash basin. There is a separate WC nearby as well as a small shower room with wash basin and WC.
Outside
To the front of the house is a lawned fore-garden set behind mature screening to Harborne Road. There is a large tarmacadam driveway providing parking for several cars. To the right hand side is a double garage with side-sliding door, power and lighting, and double doors to provide vehicular access to a courtyard parking/car washing area. Attached to the garage is a utility room which houses the two Worcester gas central heating boilers and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The rear garden is vast and offers much interest and variety with mature trees, shrubs and planted beds in addition to a large brick paved terrace, expansive areas of lawn and a rectangular pond. An interesting feature of the garden is an underground air raid shelter which now serves as useful garden storage. The total plot size has been measured to be approximately 0.68 acre (2.8ha) and the rear garden stretches some 280 ft (85m) from the back of the house.
General Information
Tenure: The property is understood to be Freehold, however as it forms part of the Calthorpe Estate it is subject to the Estate's Scheme of Management, a copy of which is available upon request. There is an annual estate charge payable (currently approximately £60 per annum).
