A couple of minutes’ walk from the property is a pedestrian entrance into Sutton Park, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and offers a great scope for walking, cycling, golf and a variety of other outdoor pursuits. Four Oaks tennis club is a couple of minutes’ walk further down Hartopp Road.

The town of Sutton Coldfield provides shops, restaurants, and schooling including Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls and Highclare School. In nearby Mere Green there is an M&S Foodhall and a large Sainsbury’s supermarket together with an array of restaurants, coffee shops, and two gyms in the newly developed Mulberry Walk.

One of the many advantages of the area is its location for fast communications to the M42, M6, M6 Toll and Birmingham International/NEC. Four Oaks Station is 1 mile from the property with regular trains into Birmingham New Street.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

This impressive seven-bedroom property is set back on a private plot on the sought-after Hartopp Road. The home is beautifully presented and benefits from a spacious front garden leading up to the handsome arched stone porch entrance opening on to the reception hallway via a further door with leaded lights. The impressive hallway features some stunning original features including the restored original oak herringbone parquet floor, handsome open fireplace with stone surround and oak wall panelling.

The entrance hall opens up into a sitting area towards the rear. Also accessed from here is the first-floor accommodation via the feature oak staircase with unusual twisted balusters. A guest cloakroom is located off to the side with additional cloak cupboard discretely located within the panelling.

Leading on from the reception area is the spacious drawing room, accessed via double doors. The room has various stunning features such as intricate ceiling details, stripped oak flooring, mahogany wall panelling with cupboards and display cabinets, and a beautiful fire surround and log burner.

The formal dining room is located on the other side of the reception hallway. It has tall restored oak panelling on the walls, a restored herringbone oak floor and a beautiful plaster panelled ceiling. The bay window offers stunning views over the rear garden, and the feature fireplace with its ornate cast iron insert, arched stone surround and carved oak chimney piece also adds to the classic atmosphere of the room.

Also accessed from the reception is the study. The space features a bay window seat (with storage under) and a feature oak fireplace fitted with coal-effect gas fire. The pool room/changing room is accessed from here which leads to the side of the property with swimming pool, separate annexe and beautiful original sundial set into the chimney overlooking the pool.

A separate hallway is located just off the main reception hallway, provides access to the spacious cellar, has a large storage cupboard recessed under the stairs, and provides access to the sunny music room/morning room with original oak panelling and fitted cupboard space.

The kitchen/breakfast/sitting room can be accessed via

a hidden door in the panelling, from the drawing room and also from the music/morning room. The kitchen looks out over the front of the property and annexe to the side, and features a heated limestone tiled floor and an extensive range of Canadian maple burr wall units with Corian marble effect worktops, Corian double sink with stainless steel base, and matching Corian plugs in the surround. A striking black granite island forms the centre of the room providing an additional extensive worktop as well as additional storage cupboards and a breakfast bar to one side. The kitchen features various high-quality built-in appliances, including two full-size fan ovens with grills, microwave, dishwasher, and five-ring gas hob with extractor hood above.

Leading on from the kitchen is the informal breakfast/dining/sitting area. This sizeable space features a gas log burner to one side.

Leading on from the area is the sizeable utility with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and additional fridge/freezer, as well as a separate drying room with extensive laundry shelving and separate WC. From here the side of the property and rear garden can be accessed.

To the rear of the property is the cinema/garden room. Accessed from the utility and the drawing room, this is an amazing leisure space with bi-folding doors on two sides leading to the rear garden. Automated curtains and lighting turn the space into a cinema room. A mezzanine area in the vaulted ceiling above is currently being used as a Hornby/train room.

The master bedroom with rear aspect is located on the first floor and features a sizeable dressing room, built-
