Combining period features with sensitive modern additions, 19 Yew Tree Road is located on the exclusive Calthorpe Estate, close to Edgbaston Village, the Priory Club, the many excellent local schools, the Botanical Gardens, Five Ways Railway Station and Birmingham city centre.
This fine, double-fronted Victorian town house was built circa 1860, with a more recent extension providing a bright, open-plan family and dining room. Tastefully decorated, and loved by its current owners, the house is flooded with natural light.
The property has numerous character features, including a wonderful Minton tiled floor in the reception hall, high skirting boards and ceilings, sash windows, and splendid marble fireplaces in the two principal reception rooms.
On the ground floor, an entrance vestibule leads to a central tiled reception hall, which opens onto spacious sitting rooms on either side, each of which has its original floorboards and a working marble fireplace. The hall leads on to a lovely, fitted kitchen (with its own pantry/utility area) that opens out into a family/dining room, which has double-glazed bifold doors leading out onto the south-facing gardens.
To the rear of the ground-floor hallway is a cloakroom area, a sizeable study, and a doorway down to the cellars.
The bright first-floor landing leads to a superb master bedroom suite, containing an en- suite dressing area and shower room. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, along with a family bathroom. On the second floor, a landing leads off to bedrooms four, five, and six. All are generous in size, and the largest of them is served by an en- suite shower and dressing area. The sixth bedroom also leads to two considerable upstairs storage areas.
This wonderful house also has a small self-contained annexe with a bedroom and kitchen. This well-decorated, flexible space could be used by an older child, or for a hobby or home office.
Gardens & Grounds
The front of the house is set behind a low brick wall with railings and plantings, and the driveway provides ample parking. The delightful rear, part-walled gardens are south-facing and have a secluded feel.
Services
Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity.
The annexe is subject to separate council tax.
