Fentham Road, Hampton-In-Arden, Solihull

Tucked away in the quiet part of Hampton-in-Arden, this semi-detached Edwardian villa-style house has accommodation arranged over three floors and boasts three double bedrooms, three shower/bathrooms, three reception rooms, fitted kitchen, utility room, and ample storage space. It further benefits from a wide driveway to the front, single garage, and paved rear garden with an excellent summerhouse/home office. There is a further garden area, being part lawned/part orchard, with a good-sized timber workshop that could quite easily be improved to be a very usable domestic studio room. The property is also being offered for sale with no onward chain.

Hampton-in-Arden is a popular village and provides such amenities as local stores, inns, doctors' surgery, historic church with Norman origins, and village hall. The nearby railway station ("Hampton-in-Arden") offers regular and direct trains to Birmingham City Centre, Coventry, and London Euston. The village is surrounded by open countryside, all the while being located just 4 miles from Solihull Town Centre, which provides a further and more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities. In addition, the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) and Birmingham International Airport (BHX) are within a few minutes' drive, while the M42 provides fast links to the M1, M5, M6 and M40 motorways.
