This one is special.
A quintessential forever home in waiting, Walmley Road is the kind of property that rarely comes to market: substantial, beautifully positioned and set within a generous mature plot with open views towards Sutton Coldfield Rugby Club playing fields. For buyers dreaming of creating something truly exceptional in one of Walmley’s most established locations, this is a home with real soul, scale and possibility.
Set well back from the road behind a mature frontage and broad driveway, this substantial detached family residence exceeding 2000 sq ft and has been cherished by the same family for around 50 years. Its proportions, plot and setting create the perfect canvas for a thoughtful renovation, remodelling project or sympathetic extension, subject to the necessary permissions.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming reception hall and unfolds into a spacious bay-fronted lounge, separate living room, formal dining room and study/home office, giving the house an unusually versatile collection of reception space. A generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home, with excellent potential to create the open-plan family kitchen, dining and entertaining space so many modern buyers now seek.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, together with a further family bathroom, separate WC and useful storage.
A particular asset is the substantial double garage with utility space, offering secure parking, workshop potential, excellent storage or scope for future conversion or incorporation into the home, subject to planning.
Outside, the rear garden is where the property truly comes into its own. Mature, expansive and wonderfully private, it enjoys a patio, lawned areas, established planting, fruit trees and greenhouse, with a lovely open outlook beyond towards the rugby club playing fields. It is a setting that feels calm, green and far removed from everyday life, despite being so well connected
Walmley Road is ideally placed for Walmley Village, highly regarded local schooling, Sutton Coldfield town centre, parks, bus routes and access into Birmingham and beyond.
A rare opportunity to shape an already impressive house into a truly outstanding long-term family home. Offered with no upward chain.
