Lea End Lane, Hopwood, Alvechurch, B48

A spectacular five bedroom semi-detached barn conversion built to exacting standards in 2005 and exceptionally well maintained throughout boasting approx. 2,635 sq. ft of flexible accommodation with many charming and high quality character features. The property is situated upon an outstanding 0.87 acre (approx.) south facing plot within a small picturesque development in an idyllically rural yet accessible location with far reaching views over neighbouring countryside.
 

Description: The ground floor boasts underfloor heating throughout and comprises: Entrance hall with a beautiful fossilised limestone floor and two oak staircases leading to separate sides of the property, guest cloakroom, lounge with feature fireplace and two sets of french doors onto the garden, formal dining room, generous office (offering alternate uses) and a country style kitchen with breakfast island, granite worktops, high quality integrated appliances, built in cupboard and access to the utility room opposite. A double guest bedroom is located on the ground floor complete with an en suite shower room and french doors onto the garden and a house bathroom (with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower enclosure) serves two of the first floor bedrooms. The hallway also provides internal access to the garage.

The principle staircase leads to a charming master bedroom suite with stunning views, en suite shower room, built in wardrobes and generous eaves storage and there is a second double bedroom with built in wardrobe and en suite bathroom and third bedroom with built in storage cupboard.

The West wing of the first floor (accessed via its own private staircase) boasts an impressive room which is currently being utilised as a playroom (with eaves storage) but would equally make a great fifth bedroom (with plumbing in place to potentially install its own en suite).

All bathrooms are fitted with exquisite Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware. Other notable features of the property include: Traditional windows including conservation style roof lights (of which all are double glazed), a wealth of oak and beamed ceilings.  

Outside: The residence enjoys an incredible 0.87 acre plot (approx.) including a wonderful south facing garden predominantly laid to lawn with an al fresco patio dining area, summerhouse, child's play area and an open rural aspect over bordering countryside. A gate from Lea End Lane offers a useful alternate access to the back of the garden.

The barn itself is set within a picturesque secluded development of just seven other properties behind electronically operated gates (equipped with intercom) with a communal courtyard providing access to parking and the garage.

Service charge: £30 per month
Services: Mains water, mains electric, oil fired central heating, private drainage via a treatment plant (regularly serviced and emptied).
The property also benefits from photovoltaic solar panels which are fully owned and used for electricity generation. 

Location: The residence is situated between the pretty village of Alvechurch and Hopwood, and is conveniently located for Alvechurch first and middle schools, shopping, pubs and restaurants within the village centre and walks along the local canal network and rail station. Two renowned pubs, the Peacock and the Coach and Horses (with it's own mini brewery) are just over a mile away. Also nearby are the facilities offered by Barnt Green, Redditch, Solihull and central Birmingham (located approx. 10 miles away).
