Seller Insight This extremely handsome Georgian-style family home, which was commissioned by the current owners in 2010, occupies

arguably one of the most sought after addresses in the West Midlands. “My wife and I had always had a desire and passion to build our own home,” says Paul, “and when we came across this piece of land in such a desirable location it just seemed like the sensible thing to do.”

One enters this elegant home into a very grand reception hall, which features a splendid oak central staircase that sweeps both left and right to a galleried landing. It is a truly impressive entrance and a wonderful introduction to the sophisticated style and wonderful sense of space that flows throughout this beautiful home. “When designing the house we knew that we wanted it to be on a grand scale, so all of the rooms are generously proportioned with nice high ceilings and large windows,” continues Paul. “And as we built it for ourselves we have also made sure that all the fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality and that there is great attention to detail throughout.”

This exceptional home is enveloped by around an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. “To the front of the house we have a large, block-paved driveway,” says Paul, “and then the rest of the garden is laid to lawn. It’s a large space, but easy to maintain, and we have a very mature boundary of shrubs and trees which makes both the house and garden feel very secluded. The majority of the main living areas open onto a beautiful Cotswold Stone terrace, which runs the width of the house, so when the weather is warm there’s a connection between inside and out.”

“My favourite part of the house is definitely the snooker room,” says Paul, “but I think my wife would say that for her it’s our lovely big kitchen, which is the real heart of the home. It’s a beautiful room with bespoke units and top-of-the-range appliances, which opens out onto the patio terrace. Also, I have quite a sizable classic car collection and so I had a fantastic underground car showroom built,” says Paul. “It has a scissor lift to take the cars up and down, and the whole thing is extremely secure.”

“The reason we wanted to move to this area was because our immediate surroundings are both peaceful and very private,” says Paul, “but at the same time it’s very convenient. The transport links are very good and we’re able to stroll into the village where there are some fabulous restaurants and really nice boutique shops.”

These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.


Luxurious LivingThe Manor House An integral garage with electric Silvo doors offers parking for two large cars and houses a bespoke 4-ton vehicle lift and staircase down to basement measuring approximately 4,200 sq ft. This is being used by the current owner as a classic car showroom. It could equally be converted into a luxury leisure complex.


The luxurious master bedroom has triple windows overlooking the front gardens, a large well fitted dressing room and an immaculate designer bathroom with Kaldewei steel bath, a deep walk-in shower with glass roof and body jets and Duravit sanitary ware. In addition, there is a wonderful Spanish style balcony accessed from this room and Bedroom Two.

Sophistication & StyleThe Manor House


This has been a fabulous home for the past six years, and we will miss absolutely everything about it when the time comes to leave.


A private mature garden extends to 0.9 acre and includes mature evergreens, shrubs and trees. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a lovely Cotswold stone patio terrace to the rear edged neatly by a stone balustrade.

Electric gates open onto the property and a Tegula paved driveway provides ample parking.

SUTTON COLDFIELD

A green and pleasant suburb, just eight miles from the city centre of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield is famed for its beautiful park and nature reserve. At 2,224 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country. A site of Special Scientific interest, it provides habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife.

A former borough town, Sutton Coldfield is the largest place to shop and relax within Birmingham outside of the city centre. There are three distinct shopping environments provided by the Red Rose Centre, The Mall and New Hall Walk, which brings ‘out of town’ shops into the heart of Sutton Coldfield. With a broad range of High Street names located on The Parade there is something for everyone.

There are ample swimming and dry sports facilities at Wyndley Leisure Centre, a short walk from the town centre, as well as a feast of cultural, hobby or interest groups on offer throughout the area. You could try your hand at sailing at Powells’ Pool or enjoy a round of golf – the Sutton Coldfield circuit is truly excellent! With four private golf courses set within the constituency boundary and two additional municipal golf courses, there is something here for the keen golfer, no matter what your handicap. The schooling in the area is fantastic with grammar and private schools all within easy reach.

The town centre is located on the A5127, approximately 7 miles north of Birmingham city centre. It can also be approached from the A38 exit Minworth or Bassetts Pole as well as junction 9 of the M42. Various local train stations provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Lichfield.


BIRMINGHAMLying at the seat of England’s industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City” is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library.

Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols.

Alongside outstanding museums and galleries you’ll find an increasing number of gastronomic restaurants, cool and/or secret cocktail bars and picturesque canals with waterside bars, restaurants, attractions and cruises. Thriving legacies of Birmingham’s industrial heritage include its Jewellery Quarter, Cadbury manufacturing plant and a former custard factory that’s been transformed into a cutting-edge creative hub.

With construction on the High Speed Rail (HS2) line – connecting London with Birmingham in just 45 minutes by 2026 – set to boost employment and the economy, ‘Brum’, as it’s dubbed by locals, is buzzing.
