The Property
Situated in the quaint village of King’s Norton, with appealing views towards the village church behind, Oak Tree House is a unique home which has been extended over the years by the current owners to create an exceptional family home, set within 1/2 an acre of gardens and grounds. The house is set back from the quiet country lane, known locally as Pudding Bag Lane, with no through traffic.
Tarmac driveway to the side elevation, with a cobbled pathway leading to the front door, Oak Tree House is entered via a welcoming entrance vestibule which leads through to the spacious reception hall with open fireplace and doors radiating to the reception rooms and off which lies a cloakroom leading to separate WC. The beautifully light and airy lounge enjoys stunning views across the gardens towards the village church, with French doors opening onto one of the terraces, and the open fireplace with marble inset and hearth a focal point. The well-appointed kitchen incorporates a range of bespoke painted timber units with granite worksurfaces, various integral appliances, and a solid fuel Rayburn. The kitchen flows through to a breakfast room and snug which has french doors opening on to a wide slabbed terrace extending to garden beyond. The formal, cosy dining room is ideally situated close to the kitchen and hallway and enjoys an open fireplace with slate hearth. A useful utility/ boot room completes the ground floor accommodation, provides plenty of storage and offers access to both front and rear elevations and to the garage.
The first-floor accommodation comprises four excellent sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, with its dual aspect includes fitted wardrobes and large ensuite bathroom. All of the bedrooms enjoy wonderful views of the adjoining gardens and village lane. The family bathroom is well appointed and lies adjacent to the separate shower room/wc and completes the first floor.
Outside
Oak Tree House is approached over a large driveway allowing parking for several vehicles. There are various timber outbuildings, and a large garage which offers space for 3 cars and a small workshop. The cobbled pathway from Pudding Bag Lane leads via a pedestrian gate to the front door which is abutted by the immaculately presented fore garden enclosed by neatly tended hedging. The beautiful gardens wrap around the property and have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide various lawned areas which are interspersed by well stocked borders and mature trees. A vegetable garden is discreetly set behind an established hedge and adjacent lies a quaint brick built hovel with thatched roof. A secondary driveway is accessed from Gaulby Lane to the rear of the property, offering the potential for development if required.
