Introduction & Exterior

This is an outstanding opportunity to own one of the most remarkable properties in Polesworth, a stunning detached period home. There is further good news in that this property is being sold with No Upward Chain. The house is set back from Dordon Road behind a large walled frontage that includes a lawn and a large block-paved driveway that provides off-road parking for at least five cars.

Double gates to the right of the house open to the side passage where the block-paved driveway continues all the way to a detached double garage at the rear of the plot. The driveway has been laid with a solid MOT sub base which allows cars to be parked in the garage if desired. Two sets of double outward-opening doors access the garage, and the lighting has been recently upgraded with ‘white’ fluorescent tubes.

The patio provides plenty of room for outdoor furniture sets. The lawn is laid to the left of the garage and is plentiful for child’s play and relaxing during the warmer months. Attractive shrubbery is planted to the borders with a combination of tall wooden fencing and evergreen trees to the boundaries to help maintain privacy.  

Ground Floor

Guests enter the home into the porch via a composite front door that has feature glazed panels set within and at either side. The porch is plentiful for guests to remove coats and shoes before taking a second secure glass panelled door into the hallway. Even at this early stage, guests will appreciate that this is an impressive and beautiful home with examples of curved walls and high quality wood-effect flooring. To the right of the hallway is the carpeted staircase leading up to the first floor that has a low-level cupboard for storage underneath.

From the hallway there are doors leading off to each of the four reception rooms. Beginning at the front left of the house, clockwise these rooms are a sitting room, lounge, breakfast room and dining room.

The sitting room is a generous reception room that has a beautiful, curved bay window at the front. It also features a gas fireplace set within the protruding chimney breast. Also, at the front of the house and having a matching bay window is the dining room which can hold an eight-seater table with ease. The breakfast room is at the rear of the hallway and currently holds a four seater table. The lounge is by the far the largest room in the house as it has been extended to the rear which more than doubles the room in size. The lounge has a protruding chimney with fireplace attached to the front although, unlike the sitting room, this is purely ornamental but could be connected should the new owners desire. A wide set of French doors open from the lounge out to the patio.

Between the breakfast room and dining room, at the rear right of the house, is the kitchen. Viewers will appreciate that although modern, the suite that has a traditional style to it. The suite includes a range of integrated appliances such as a low level refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan and an electric oven with grill. A one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer is positioned in front of a window overlooking the rear patio.

A door to the rear of the breakfast room provides access to the utility room, with subsequent doors for the guest WC and to exit to the rear patio. The utility room features wall mounted units and a counter with spaces underneath for a washing machine (with plumbing) and tumble dryer, as well as a space to the side for an American-style fridge freezer. The guest WC has a toilet, wash basin and also has the central heating combi-boiler mounted up high.

As with the ground floor, both rooms at the front of the first floor (bedrooms one and three) have stunning curved bay windows. These rooms follow the same footprint as sitting and dining rooms below and are therefore superb sized rooms. These two bedrooms have far-reaching views over the local countryside to the front.

Bedroom two at the rear left is the same size as the original part of the lounge below, again another superb size. Viewers will be delighted to see that bedroom four is also a great double bedroom, having a recess that is ideal for a row of wardrobes. Both bedrooms two and four have a delightful view of the rear garden.
