5 bed detached house for sale

Fiery Hill Road, Barnt Green B45

Summary
Occupying a superb 1.51-acre plot (approx.) with a highly desirable southerly aspect, this impressive residence extends to almost 4,000 sq. Ft and stands as one of the few properties along this stretch to offer such generous grounds. Extended and completely refurbished in 2013 to an exceptional standard, the home is now unrecognisable from its original form, presenting beautifully appointed, high-specification accommodation throughout. Perfectly positioned just 0.4 miles from the centre of Barnt Green, the property also benefits from convenient access to the train station and the picturesque walking routes of the nearby Lickey Hills Woods.

Description
The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating and begins with a generous entrance hall complete with a useful understairs storage cupboard, cleverly designed with dual access points, and a stylish guest cloakroom. From the hall, all principal reception rooms radiate, creating a natural and well-balanced flow. There is a spacious office ideal for home working, as well as a living room of grand proportions featuring french doors that open directly onto the garden. A further versatile reception room, currently utilised as a formal dining room, features an alcove currently displaying wooden logs and also benefits from French doors to the garden. An opening leads seamlessly into the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, undoubtedly the heart of the home, finished with a marble tiled floor and flooded with natural light from a striking sky lantern and bi-folding doors. The high quality German designed ‘Rational’ kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz worktops, a bespoke low-level cabinet for cookbook display, a distinctive glass ‘sushi’ bar, electronic soft close drawers and ‘push to open’ cabinetry. Integrated appliances include a Franke extractor fan and a comprehensive range of Siemens appliances, including a steam combi oven, two warming drawers, main fan oven, combi microwave and induction hob, complemented by a Quooker hot water tap as well as a freestanding American fridge freezer and wine/drinks fridge.

A large and practical utility room is positioned at the end of the hall, continuing the marble tiled flooring and enhanced by a light tunnel, Belfast sink, space for both a washing machine and vented dryer, wall mounted drying racks, and internal access to the garage.

A staircase rises to the first floor, illuminated by an impressive two storey window and a striking chandelier suspended above. The first floor, heated via radiators, opens onto a spacious landing - perfectly suited as a reading nook or additional seating area. The outstanding principal bedroom suite features a dramatic apex window overlooking the garden, along with a dedicated dressing room and a contemporary en suite shower room. A particularly large bedroom positioned over the garage offers built-in wardrobes, a dressing table, bedside units, and a unique wall mural, and sits adjacent to a walk-in heated linen cupboard and a modern Jack and Jill shower room shared with another well proportioned double bedroom enjoying garden views. Two further double bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, complete with an impressive 2m x 1m bathtub and a separate shower enclosure.

All first bathrooms benefit from electric underfloor heating and Porcelanosa tiles (Porcelanosa tiles also within the WC).

Outside
The south facing garden provides a wonderful outdoor setting, beginning with a generous decked terrace adjoining the rear of the house leading onto an expansive lawn that is beautifully private, screened by mature hedging, trees and established planting. The garden also features a charming children’s Wendy house and a useful shed. An impressive Arctic Cabin, complete with a central fire pit, fitted bench seating with reindeer skin covers and electrics, is available by separate negotiation, offering a unique and cosy entertaining space all year round. Beyond the formal garden, an adjoining 1.16-acre parcel of land is accessed via fencing and a five-bar gate and is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and enclosed boundaries. This area is subject to an uplift clause - please call the office for more information.

To the front, the property is well screened by mature trees, creating a high degree of privacy, with a driveway opening onto a substantial parking area. This in turn provides access to a ‘larger than average’ double garage with an electric door, which also offers potential for the creation of a boot room if desired.

The neighbouring property, No. 18, benefits from a right of way over the driveway, although it also retains its own independent access.
