House For Sale £650,000
This handsome detached house constructed in 1937 is of unique architectural design, featured in architect journals of the period. There is a wealth of charm and character; many features were reclaimed from Fernwood Grange, Barnt Green a stately home built in the 1800’s. These features include Oak panelling and a beautiful black marble pillared fireplace. The house is distinguished by a stone sculpture of Don Quixote on the front elevation commissioned by the original owner and by the celebrated artist Oliver O’Connor Barrett.
The property sits back from the road behind two grass verges, a large gravel driveway which provides off-road parking for several vehicles and is complimented by the surrounding gardens. A beautiful storm porch has an offset arch and door leading into the impressive reception hall which has oak panelled walls and a sweeping staircase leading to the first floor.
The dual-aspect oak panelled lounge has an exquisite black marble fireplace and exposed beams to the ceiling. There is a further delightful sitting room with large bay window also boasting oak panelling. The dining room opens into the kitchen with bespoke units. All three reception rooms afford French window access onto the rear garden terrace.
There is an extensive utility room at the side of the property which provides access to the front and rear gardens and also the guest WC. Located off a spacious landing there are three double bedrooms, the master of which has a triple aspect and extends the entire depth of the property. The master bedroom and its neighbour both enjoy access to a balcony overlooking the garden and most of Hollywood!
There is a family bathroom with a clawfoot free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. There is also a separate WC and two large storage cupboards. To the rear of the property you will find a generous, south-facing mature garden with a raised patio and extensive lawn. From here you can access an exceptionally large garage, complete with an electric door and inspection pit.
