Summary
A modern single storey home featuring an open-plan studio layout with a mezzanine, offering a spacious yet cosy living environment. The home has planning permission for solar panel installation, enhancing its eco-friendly appeal as well as approved front and rear extensions, allowing for a seamless expansion of the living space, making it ideal for growing needs and flexible, sustainable living. Located in the sought after village of Alvechurch, the property benefits from the charm of village living, within close proximity from local amenities and sought after schooling and just a stone's throw from the train station, popular public house 'The Weighbridge'  and the Worcester and Birmingham canal. 

Description
This contemporary single storey home is designed to maximise space and natural light, providing a bright and spacious environment with open-plan studio accommodation. Upon entering, you're greeted by an airy, seamless living area that combines the kitchen, dining and lounge spaces in a unified layout. Large Velux windows line the vaulted roof, bathing the interior in sunlight throughout the day. The ground floor also includes a sleek bathroom tucked away to offer privacy while maintaining accessibility. 

A staircase leads to the mezzanine level, which hovers above the living area, serving as a versatile space (restricted head height) such as a loft bedroom, office, or a quiet reading nook.

Further Potential
The home has planning permission for future extensions at both the front and rear, allowing the owners to further enhance the living space as their needs grow. Solar panel installation has also been approved, aligning with sustainable living goals and adding an eco-friendly feature to the home. Once extended, the property will enjoy increased floor space all on one level including an open plan kitchen/dining/family room, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a utility room/WC, making it ideal for families or anyone seeking a modern, adaptable living space.

Outside
The property is set within it's own plot of approx. 0.15 acres which is mainly laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the front door (french glazed doors). The property is approached via a sweeping driveway, beautifully framed by mature trees, with a right of access granted by No. 6. 

Location
Set in a semi rural position within Alvechurch, the property is conveniently located close to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, Alvechurch Marina, train station and local public house, 'The Weighbridge'. Approximately 0.5 miles from the property lies the centre of Alvechurch village which offers two Nurseries, First School (Crown Meadow), Middle School (Alvechurch Church of England School) and several shopping and eating facilities. Also, further afield are the facilities offered by both Redditch and Barnt Green Village.

The Worcester and Birmingham Canal connected the Black Country to the sea by providing a link to the River Severn, opening trade routes to the world. The canal bustled with barges carrying freight in and out night and day. Nowadays tourist boats keep the canals busy. The route is also well renowned with walkers. The route is 30 miles long (recommended over two days) and has a total of 58 locks including the 30 Tardebigge Locks, one of the largest lock flights in Europe.
