Detached house for sale in Solihull B93, 5 Bedroom

Hunters are excited to offer this once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase your dream home. Built in approximately 1478 and formerly part of the Springfield Hall estate, Cuttle Pool Farm is a unique farmhouse standing in extensive grounds of approximately 1.5 acres.
Located on a quiet country lane yet within easy reach of the amenities that Knowle offers, Cuttle Pool Farm House has been sympathetically extended over hundreds of years, and offers an abundance of character from original doors which have been heightened, exposed timber beams and open fires. The farmhouse is steeped in history with each room telling its own story.
On arrival at the property, the large gravelled courtyard provides plenty of off road parking and access to the front of the property and the triple garage which was once the cow shed.
The ground floor accommodation offers a welcoming entrance hallway leading to the cloakroom and utility; the dining room opens into the garden room and leads into the inner hallway, with the stairs to the first floor and the original front porch and door. The large living room with inglenook fireplace opens to the snug which could be used as a study or play room. On the other side of the ground floor the property benefits from a large farmhouse style kitchen with an island; a stable door opening to the rear garden; and a further multi-purpose reception room. This room is currently used as an office, however it can also be used as a further bedroom as it has direct access to the downstairs shower room.
The characterful features carry on throughout the house to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The beautiful master- suite benefits from a dressing room and shower room, and the second bedroom also has a modern en-suite.
The secluded gardens and grounds are mainly laid to lawn with a swimming pool, and enjoy open countryside views. The adjacent woodland was taken over by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust in 2012. There are several outbuildings including the swimming pool changing room, boiler room, log store and storage garage.
Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the wealth of character, history and potential in this unique family home.

The property is well served by excellent local schools and a village which has a High Street of many period and character buildings, inns, restaurants, shops and historic church. The village adjoins open greenbelt countryside to the south yet Junction 5 of the M42 is within just one mile and leads to the Midlands motorway network, centres of commerce and culture. The railway station at Dorridge links Birmingham Snow Hill with London Marylebone and the railway station at Birmingham International which is within just five miles links Birmingham New Street with London Euston.
