SOUTH WING

Off the hall to the right is the dining room. The dining room has a window to the rear, under stairs storage, brick fire sur-rounds with raised quarry tiled hearth. The dining room gives access to a cloakroom and kitchen.

Seller Insight This remarkable, three storey, spacious house is located in a stunning, rural, location, but just a few minutes away from the bustling village of Balsall Common which contains a wealth of excellent amenities. South

Wing, constructed in the mid 1800s, is an extension of the main house, and was cleverly converted into an individual dwelling in the late 1980’s.

The village contains everything essential for day to day living, including a main line railway station for journeys into Birmingham, or direct into London. In addition, although the house is beautifully tucked away, access to motorways is very convenient, as are journeys to Birmingham International Airport. There is a wide choice of schools, sport and leisure facilities, alongside several pubs and restaurants. The village hall also offers a wide range of interests. Kenilworth for its interesting shopping facilities is very close, as is Birmingham.

“We were moving into the vicinity for professional reasons. We did not know the area too well but desired a rural location, and one close to amenities, schools for our children and easy commuting into London. As we approached South Wing, along its striking, tree-lined, driveway, we caught our breaths when we saw the house and, on viewing, knew immediately that this was to be our family home. Together with our four children we came to live here twenty- seven years ago.”

“With its space and convenient layout, the house has been ideal for family life, with lots of areas for quiet study, or to pursue individual hobbies and pastimes, alongside ease of entertaining friends and family. It is very much a family home which has been perfect for us in every way. In addition, having such a large and safe external space for our children and their friends to enjoy freedom has been a huge bonus.”

“Our Master bedroom is spacious and bright and enjoys stunning views out into the countryside. It is very much a favoured room in which to enjoy a morning cup of tea, maybe with binoculars close at hand to enjoy the outlook and, also, the wonderful variety of birds visiting our garden.”

“Our main reception room also has a fabulous outlook and is an utter delight whatever the weather, or season of the year. We also take advantage of having such good access to nearby country lanes and footpaths.

“We have given lots of love and care to our garden, mainly thanks to Marian, and, over the years, it has matured into this quite special and interesting area. We have colour and interest throughout the year and its space has been utilised to host several special parties over the years. We also have an enclosed courtyard where we can enjoy al fresco dining or take pleasure in sharing a glass of wine.”

“After all these years, the house has now outgrown our requirements and it is time for us to move. There are so many things we will miss about living here, especially the magical sunsets, alongside utter peace and tranquillity. We have been so happy here and know that whoever decides to live here, will be as happy and contented as we have been.”*

A staircase leads from the inner hallway to the first floor. The first floor comprises of 2 bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate cloak room and a study. The study has a spiral staircase that rises to a loft room which provides a further bedroom.

A separate conventional staircase with timber handrail and balustrade leads from the first-floor landing to the second floor. The second floor consists of a spacious double bedroom, with dual aspect views to the front and the side elevation, and also benefits from an en-suite.

Wootton Grange enjoys an impressive tree-lined approach with ample parking to the front and a block paved driveway at the side of the house. A separate, tandem double garage has a metal “up and over” door to the front, lighting and power.

The property has stunning views to the front and a wrought iron gate to the side of the property which opens to a block paved courtyard/patio with access from the kitchen. A further gate leads via a gravelled pathway which runs along the side of the neighbour’s garden to another gate which opens to a delightful large lawned garden with shaped hedged boundaries, an ornamental fishpond and rockery and an attractive thatched summerhouse with a paved patio area at the front which allows you to sit and relax peacefully and really appreciate the garden. An opening leads to a further garden/orchard which benefits from fenced boundaries, a timber garden shed, a greenhouse, vegetable plot and selection of fruit trees.

Lying at the seat of England’s Industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City” is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library.

Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols.
