Description

A stunning example of an extended three-bedroom detached family home, immaculately presented throughout and boasting far-reaching countryside views to the rear. The property occupies a desirable position within the sought-after area of Lickey End, Bromsgrove.

Set back from the road on a quiet service road and tucked away in the corner, the property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking, with a small lawned foregarden that could be removed to create additional parking if required. A storm porch leads to the front entrance.

Once inside, the beautifully presented accommodation briefly comprises a bright and welcoming entrance hall with ground floor w/c and internal access into the garage, which is fitted with power and lighting. The impressive open-plan lounge/family room enjoys dual-aspect bay windows to either end and is complemented by traditional-style radiators. A contemporary L-shaped kitchen features a range of navy wall and base units together with integrated appliances to include fridge/freezer, electric hob, microwave, oven, washer/dryer and built-in bins. Large sliding doors open directly out to the rear garden.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to three generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a large walk-in bay window with commanding views across the rear garden and open countryside beyond, along with fitted wardrobes. The second double bedroom offers a bow bay window to the front together with fitted wardrobe storage, while the third bedroom is also well-sized. A contemporary four-piece family bathroom completes the accommodation, incorporating a feature free-standing bathtub and separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the landscaped rear garden enjoys a raised decked terrace providing an ideal entertaining space, with steps leading down to a lawn edged with slate chippings. A stylish timber garden room offers excellent potential for use as a home office, hobby room or additional storage.

Situated within Lickey End, this property combines a picturesque setting with superb local amenities. It falls within catchment for Lickey Hills Primary School and is close to everyday conveniences including Tesco Express and the Miller & Carter Steakhouse. The renowned Lickey Hills Country Park is just a short distance away, while Bromsgrove town centre provides leisure facilities, supermarkets, golf, healthcare services, and a wide range of restaurants and cafés.
