Description
A covered porch leads to an entrance hall, where there is an understairs storage cupboard and a useful guest cloakroom.

The generous living room is an inviting space, centred around a wood burning stove and enjoying French doors that open directly onto the rear garden. A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for both formal entertaining and family gatherings, featuring an attractive decorative brick fireplace and access to a designated home office, which benefits from the availability of high speed fibre broadband.

Overlooking the garden, the modern open plan kitchen is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, Siemens multifunction oven and microwave, induction hob and extractor fan. An adjoining utility room offers excellent additional storage, houses the boiler and provides convenient access to the garden.

The first floor is equally impressive, with an exceptionally spacious landing that is large enough to accommodate a seating area. The outstanding principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, featuring an exposed brick fireplace with a working open fire, fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. There are three further generously sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy attractive views over the rear garden, together with a stylish family bathroom. A useful airing cupboard houses the hot water tank.

Outside
Occupying a delightful plot of approximately 0.25 acres, the property enjoys a substantial rear garden comprising a generous patio terrace, extensive lawn, well-stocked planted borders and an additional patio seating area positioned within the garden itself. Tucked away at the far end of the plot is an exceptional bespoke garden building incorporating a bright garden room and substantial workshop, providing a superb space for hobbies, entertaining, home working or creative pursuits.

To the front, a sweeping driveway leads to a large parking area capable of accommodating several vehicles and provides access to the garage, which also benefits from a rear door opening onto the garden.

Vendor’s Thoughts: ‘It has been a privilege to be the custodian of Ladymead for the past 46 years. We have some fond memories, from family Christmas lunches in front of the open fire in the dining room to the children playing with all their friends in the sitting room on the first floor. The canal is only a few steps away and provides some idyllic evening walks to the glorious Bittell lakes. The wildlife visiting the garden has been a real treat over the years, from the common muntjac deer to the rarer roe deer, herons from the canal and Bittell lakes, all 3 varieties of woodpecker and owls (which you can hear but don't see) and many more species. In spite of it feeling like you are living in the middle of the countryside the motorway network is only a few minutes away’.

Location
Set between the villages of Barnt Green and Alvechurch, the property is well positioned for a wide range of amenities.
