PROPERTY OVERVIEW
This exceptional six/seven bedroom, six bathroom traditional detached residence offers an outstanding blend of classic character and contemporary luxury, set equidistant between the sought-after villages of Knowle and Dorridge, and within comfortable walking distance of Dorridge Station, ideal for commuters.
Substantially extended and meticulously improved by the current owners, the property now boasts a magnificent open plan kitchen/dining and orangery / family room, featuring a large central island / breakfast bar, a range of Siemens appliances, Lutron lighting and full width Renka ultra slim sliding patio doors that create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces and offer an abundance of natural light. Approached via electronic private gates, the house enjoys a large frontage with a block paved driveway with Stonemarket Templeton setts providing ample parking and access to a single garage.
The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious entrance hallway with character fireplace and surround and gas fire, a sitting room and a separate study designed and installed by Neville Johnson to the front elevation (perfect for home working or quiet relaxation), a large and practical boot room to the rear, and a stylish guest cloakroom. The large traditional living room, which can be accessed from both the hallway and the orangery / family room, provides a welcoming retreat for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Off the kitchen is a large utility which in turn leads into a single garage. Arranged over three floors, the seven double bedrooms and six bathrooms offer flexible accommodation for families of all sizes, with one bedroom recently converted into a walk-in dressing room. Five of the bathrooms (with Hansgrohe fittings) also feature underfloor heating. The principal bedroom suite is a true highlight, featuring a luxury ensuite also with Hansgrohe fittings and a further dressing room, installed and designed by Neville Johnson with a fully fitted dressing area, providing a private sanctuary for the owners.
The property further benefits from bespoke features such as a large gym and a purpose-built golf simulator (costing £60,000 new and available via separate negotiation), located towards the rear third of the plot, perfect for fitness enthusiasts or those seeking leisure facilities at home. The structure of the golf simulator lends itself perfectly as a home cinema room should any incumbent buyer require a change of use.
Finished to an exacting specification throughout, this magnificent family home combines generous proportions with thoughtful design, creating versatile spaces for both everyday living and special occasions. Recent updates have included air conditioning fitted to the kitchen, orangery / garden room, principal and guest bedrooms to compliment the air conditioning located in the gym and golf simulator. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this special and impressive family home, its high specification, and its exceptional accommodation.
