Full Description: <p>An impressive detached family residence, beautifully renovated, thoughtfully extended and finished to an exceptional standard, this substantial 1930s home combines its original character and generous proportions with a refined contemporary specification. Set within an enviable <strong>0.3-acre plot</strong>, the property is approached via a gated in-and-out driveway, creating an impressive sense of arrival while providing extensive off-road parking and access to a double garage. Beyond the house, the beautifully landscaped rear garden enjoys a desirable westerly aspect, with mature planting and private, tree-lined views creating an unusually tranquil setting.</p><p>Positioned on <strong>Alderbrook Road</strong>, one of Solihull’s most established and sought-after residential roads, the property enjoys a particularly enviable balance of privacy and convenience. The surrounding streets are characterised by mature trees, greenery and substantial family homes, whilst Solihull town centre and the railway station are within easy reach. The property also falls within the <strong>Tudor Grange catchment</strong>, further enhancing its appeal to families seeking access to highly regarded local schooling. The result is a location that offers a peaceful residential setting without compromising access to the amenities, schools and transport connections for which Solihull is renowned.</p><p>The house itself has been meticulously transformed, retaining the charm and architectural character of its 1930s origins while introducing the scale, finish and functionality expected of a contemporary family home. Presented in excellent condition throughout, it offers an immediate <strong>turn-key opportunity</strong>, with a considered layout that lends itself equally well to family living, entertaining and working from home. There is also further potential to enhance the accommodation, with planning permission having been granted in February 2020 under reference <strong>PL/2020/00017/MINFHO</strong> for an additional extension incorporating further ground and first-floor bedroom accommodation together with a loft conversion.</p><p>The sense of quality and space is evident upon entering impressive reception hallway. High ceilings and generous proportions create an immediate feeling of volume, while a bespoke feature fireplace provides an elegant focal point and a fitting introduction to the character and contemporary detailing found throughout the property.</p><p>The principal living room is a particularly generous space, enjoying a dual aspect which floods the room with natural light, together with an inset fireplace creating a comfortable and welcoming focal point. From here, the accommodation continues into the conservatory, a versatile additional reception space overlooking the gardens. A second reception room is accessed from both the living room and reception hallway, offering flexibility to suit individual requirements and providing an ideal setting for a formal dining room, family room, playroom, study or additional home office.</p><p>At the centre of the home is the exceptional <strong>Siematic-designed kitchen</strong>, conceived as both a practical family space and an impressive environment for entertaining. Vast and beautifully light, the kitchen incorporates an adjoining family area which provides a relaxed transition between cooking, dining and informal living. This space could equally be adapted to create a dedicated bar or more substantial entertaining area.</p><p>The main kitchen is finished to a high specification, centred around a substantial island with breakfast bar and complemented by <strong>Dekton work surfaces</strong>. A striking dropped ceiling incorporates an integrated extractor, adding a strong architectural element to the space. Premium <strong>Neff appliances</strong> include an induction hob, combination oven and additional oven, whilst integrated full-size <strong>Liebherr</strong> refrigeration provides further quality and convenience. A <strong>Quooker Flex tap</strong> delivers hot, boiling and cold water.</p><p>Underfloor heating is provided to the kitchen and guest cloakroom, while <strong>Porcelanosa tiling</strong> features throughout the property, including the kitchen flooring, reinforcing the consistent level of finish found across the home.</p><p>The first floor provides <strong>five bedrooms</strong>, with the principal suite offering a particularly impressive private retreat. Generously proportioned, the bedroom benefits from a Juliet balcony and not one but <strong>two substantial walk-in wardrobes</strong>, providing exceptional storage. The accompanying en-suite is beautifully appointed with Porcelanosa tiling and features twin wash basins, underfloor heating and a large walk-in shower, with the WC discreetly positioned behind a privacy wall.</p><p>The main family bathroom continues the same understated level of luxury, with its high gabled ceiling adding architectural interest and enhancing the sense of space. It is fitted with <strong>Duravit sanitaryware</strong>, together with a separate bath and shower, and also provides access to the airing cupboard.</p><p>Bedrooms two and three benefit from fitted wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms provide generous and versatile accommodation, equally suited to family members, guests or dedicated home-working space.</p><p>The gardens are a significant feature of the property, with the house occupying a substantial <strong>0.3-acre plot</strong> and enjoying a coveted westerly aspect to the rear. The immediate garden terrace provides a natural extension of the living accommodation, with a generous patio creating an ideal setting for alfresco dining and summer entertaining.</p><p>Landscaped <strong>Millboard decking</strong> leads gracefully from the patio towards the main lawn, with established planting and mature trees providing structure, privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. The private, tree-lined outlook gives the garden a particularly peaceful character, while its scale provides ample space for both entertaining and family recreation.</p><p>To the front, the gated in-and-out driveway provides an impressive approach to the house, together with extensive parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage.</p><p>Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented detached family home in one of Solihull’s most desirable locations. Combining <strong>exceptional proportions, high-quality renovation, extensive grounds, excellent entertaining space and outstanding transport and schooling opportunities</strong>, the property offers a sophisticated yet highly practical family environment, with the added benefit of further potential for those wishing to create an even more substantial home.</p><p><em>Please read the following: These particulars are for general guidance only and are based on information supplied and approved by the seller.
