Description Of Property

Occupying a prominent position on the highly regarded Beech Hill Road, this substantial detached residence represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine scale, character and future potential.

Extending to approximately 3,695 sq. Ft. Including the detached outbuilding/garage, this impressive Streather-built property enjoys an excellent sense of presence, with a handsome red-brick façade, traditional multi-pane windows, prominent gables and a generous in-and-out driveway providing an attractive approach.

The property has clearly been a much-loved long-term family home and retains a wealth of original features and period detailing. While now requiring a programme of modernisation, it offers an exciting opportunity for the next owner to sympathetically update, extend and reimagine the accommodation to suit contemporary family living, subject to any necessary consents.

The house occupies a particularly generous mature plot, with extensive frontage, ample driveway parking and substantial gardens. The depth and scale of the grounds are a key feature of the property, offering not only a beautiful established setting but also considerable potential for further enhancement. Given the size of the plot, there may also be longer-term development potential, whether through extension, remodelling or alternative use, subject to planning permission and all required approvals.

Internally, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with a layout that provides excellent flexibility. The ground floor includes a welcoming reception hall and a series of generous reception rooms, each displaying characterful features including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, feature fireplaces, timber detailing, bay windows and traditional joinery.

The principal drawing room is a particularly spacious and elegant reception room, enjoying attractive proportions and a feature fireplace. The formal dining room is rich in character, with dark timber beams, bespoke fitted cabinetry, a large bay window and decorative detailing, creating a room of real presence and charm.

The breakfast kitchen is of traditional style and now offers clear scope for replacement or reconfiguration as part of a wider scheme of modernisation. It currently includes extensive timber cabinetry, terracotta-style flooring and a notable gas Aga cooker set within a brick alcove. Subject to design and consent, this area could lend itself well to being opened up, extended or remodelled to create a more contemporary kitchen, dining and family space overlooking the gardens.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a guest WC, boiler room, store room and useful ancillary spaces, all contributing to the overall practicality of the house.

To the first floor, a characterful landing with traditional timber balustrading and feature archway leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with a feature fireplace and pleasant outlook over the surrounding grounds. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, separate WC and shower facilities.

Throughout the property, many original features remain, including panelled internal doors, coving, fireplaces, timber joinery, decorative ceilings and period detailing. These features provide an excellent foundation for a sensitive renovation scheme, allowing a future purchaser to preserve the home’s heritage while introducing modern finishes, services and design.

Externally, the property is set within substantial mature grounds, with established lawns, mature trees, shrubs, planted borders and secluded garden areas. The rear garden is especially impressive in scale, offering a broad expanse of lawn framed by mature planting. The grounds provide a wonderful sense of privacy and create an attractive backdrop to the house.

The property also benefits from an integral garage and a detached double garage/outbuilding, providing useful storage, workshop space or potential for alternative ancillary use, subject to the necessary consents.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial character residence on one of the area’s most desirable roads. With its impressive plot, road presence, retained period features and clear scope for modernisation, extension or possible development, the property offers exceptional potential for a purchaser seeking to create a landmark family home in a highly regarded Sutton Coldfield setting.
