House For Sale £450,000
Summary
A traditional 1930s home which has been modernised and previously extended, providing flexible accommodation over 1600 sq. ft including a generous living room with wood burning stove, adjoining play room, fantastic open plan luxury kitchen/diner and a lower ground floor containing a games room, utility and WC offering potential opportunity to create a self contained set of rooms suitable for a 'live-in' elderly family member or teenage suite. The property is positioned directly opposite the Lickey Hills Country Park and just 1 mile from the village of Barnt Green.
Description
The accommodation comprises: Entrance hall with under stairs storage cupboard, generous living room with wood burning stove, adjoining conservatory style play room with doors opening onto an astro turfed balcony and a fantastic open plan luxury kitchen/diner with external door leading to the side of the house. Notable features within the kitchen include a breakfast island, pantry cupboard with pull out shelving, full length fridge and separate freezer, dishwasher, AEG double oven, AEG electric hob with matching extractor fan and an AEG gas wok burner.
A spiral staircase from the kitchen descends to a heated lower ground floor including a laundry room, large storage cupboard (housing the boiler), WC and games room with double doors opening onto the garden. This lower floor offers potential opportunity to create a self contained set of rooms suitable for a 'live-in' elderly family member or teenage suite (subject to necessary regulations). Note: The lower ground floor was previously a cellar and garage therefore the ceiling heights are slightly lower.
The first floor features three DOUBLE bedrooms and a house bathroom with bath tub and separate walk in shower.
The property is equipped with double glazing throughout and a 2015 gas combi boiler.
Outside
Externally, the property benefits from a low maintenance, easterly rear garden which is mainly laid to block paving with an area of lawn to the side including a shed. The boundaries are marked by fencing and a garden gate provides access to the shared driveway at the back. Parking is available on the front driveway.
The shared driveway and grassed area to the side are listed on a separate owned title (included in the sale). Maintenance of the drive is shared with three additional neighbouring properties.
Location
Cofton Hackett is an ancient settlement mentioned in historical documents dating back to 780 AD and in the present day provides a wide range of local amenities including an 18 hole golf course, two churches, village hall, easy access to local schools, popular public house 'The Oak Tree' and Sunday lunch at 'The Old Rose and Crown' hotel. Barnt Green Road itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods and 135 Acre Cofton Park - once visited by Pope Benedict XVI. The bordering village, Barnt Green, is located approximately 1.5 miles away and offers everyday shopping facilities, doctor's surgery, dentists, St Andrews primary school, the ever-popular Grade II listed 'Barnt Green Inn' and railway station (direct to Birmingham New Street). There are also many sporting facilities including a renowned sports club (one of the leading racquet clubs in the country), cricket club, sailing and many other clubs and societies. No more than 2 miles away is the recently regenerated Longbridge site (former MG Rover car plant), home to the largest Marks and Spencers in the Midlands. Access to the M42 is just 3.3 miles away and the M5 around the same distance.
