Nestled on the outskirts of the city, step away from the hustle and bustle, and into the embrace of No. 237, Foley Road West, set back from the road behind a sweeping in and out driveway, offering plenty of parking alongside a garage.
Suburban setting…serene views
Stained-glass sparkles in the front door, which opens to a tiled porch with space for doffing and donning coats and shoes, before leading on into the entrance hallway.
A home refurnished and reloved by its current owners, No. 237 retains its classic 1930s warmth with a modern polish, its beautiful stained-glass features recreated throughout.
Inviting spaces
Plantation shutters part dress the bay window in the study to the left, a relaxing room with a fireplace and carpet underfoot. Light and bright, the bountiful bay window of the study is mirrored on the right of the entrance hall by a cosy snug, where a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove promises cosy winter nights.
OWNER QUOTE: “We felt that this traditional house was crying out for a family to occupy it and fill it with laughter and make many happy memories…that was definitely us!”
Carpeted in grey, glazed doors to the rear invite you through to the large lounge, whilst back in the entrance hall, ahead, to the left, the kitchen awaits.
Feast your eyes
Warmly toned, checkered splashback tiles decorate the walls against which the Range-style cooker in bottle green emanates warmth and welcome, whilst Shaker-style cream cabinetry provides plenty of storage. Gleaming worktops offer plenty of preparation space.
Savour the view
Opening up to the rear the substantially sized conservatory invites glorious garden views, whilst French doors allow for indoor-outdoor dining on the broad patio, overlooking the lush green lawn, privately screened by trees to the rear. Karndean flooring flows through from kitchen into conservatory, whilst the triple glazing creates cosy warmth throughout the seasons.
OWNER QUOTE: “Sitting on the patio all you can hear is the birds.”
Entertaining haven
Returning to the entrance hallway, discover storage beneath the stairs before emerging into the capacious rear lounge. A sunny south-facing room, cosily carpeted and brimming in light from roof lanterns above, French doors offer instant connection to the garden. Designed for entertaining, there is room for all, with direct access through into the front snug demonstrating the home’s easy flow and flexibility.
OWNER QUOTE: “The snug is a nice quiet room to get away from it all and unwind.”
With built-in storage available the lounge also opens to an inner hall, which links to a handy guest WC and the integral garage.
Sweet dreams
Stairs lead up from the entrance hallway to the landing, where a large window on the turn fills the space with light. A home with room for all, five fantastic bedrooms await on the first floor, with three sumptuously sized double bedrooms nestled to the right along an inner landing, partitioned off by a door, for extra privacy.
Ideal for families, this trio of bedrooms is perfect for children, two offering peaceful views out over the fields to the front, and another quirky, mezzanine-style bedroom with an elevated study space and porthole offering views out over the mature rear garden.
Serving these bedrooms is a pristine shower room, positioned at the end of the landing.
Peaceful sanctuary
To the left of the stairs lies the master bedroom, a peaceful haven, elegantly decorated and offering wonderful views out over the wildlife in the fields opposite. Stained-glass windows, a predominant feature throughout, enhance the serenity of this master bedroom, whilst sliding-door wardrobes provide plenty of storage for clutter free living.
Relax and revive in the ensuite where a bath with shower over provides refreshment.
OWNER QUOTE: “You can still experience wildlife this close to Birmingham; the garden is filled with birds and in the morning you can look out and see horses and sheep in the fields to the front.”
Next door to the master, bedroom five is ideal as a nursery, and could also serve as a dressing room to the master suite. A further WC is also to be found on the landing, where above, there is hatch access into the loft.
Outdoor living
South-facing, the sunny and spacious garden invites you to catch the rays throughout the day, with the top left-hand corner in receipt of the evening sunshine.
Brimming with colour, spring sees the garden erupt in pink and yellow blooms, with autumn apples to be harvested from the tree. Plenty of lawn makes this garden perfect for children, with a wide patio available for outdoor furniture and barbecues.
Out and About
Within walking distance to the local shops, including a pharmacy, Post Office, general stores, newsagents, vets, hairdresser, barbers, butchers and the all-important coffee shop, all you need is close by.
