DESCRIPTION
Phipps & Pritchard with McCartneys LLP are delighted to offer for sale this rare and highly specified larger style 4-bedroom detached house, traditionally built to incredibly high standard in an attractive 'Baggeridge' brick with architect designed gabled and bay fronted elevations, creating a most striking and imposing façade. Those with an 'eye for detail' will also notice that the gable is enriched by brick kneelers and classic corbelling or \"Dentil' work as, historically, it is referred to within the building trade.Without doubt such fine skills are very much a dying art today and if such is needed, hint at the exemplary level of craftsmanship and painstaking detail that has been lavished upon this property. In very general terms new homes have come to hold an unenviable reputation for quick construction and, by direct consequence, low associated standards. With this is mind it is therefore both refreshing, and comforting, to learn that Dormer Construction Ltd are a local family run NHBC Firm priding themselves on exacting build quality and keen attention to detail. As great testament to this, the house has been very carefully constructed solely by Father & Son, uninterrupted over about twelve months and exhibits notably high attention to detail, being feature-packed and pure quality through and through. As a Firm, we have acted for Dormer Construction Ltd many times and there would be very few Developers with so much personal skill and valuable experience making this somewhat of a special opportunity in an area where similar new build properties would be very hard to find.Swan Street is a particularly nice and ultra-convenient back-water location nestled within the renowned 'old quarter' of Stourbridge ; an acutely sought after suburb of West Stourbridge found between the town centre itself and Wollaston Village, also flanked by Swan Pool Park, being simply ideal for those with young children and/or dogs. Crucially this property is also on the 'best side of the road' for it actually abuts the Park and, equally, the gardens are also west facing ensuring plenty of sun ! Stourbridge town centre is within easy walking distance, being only about 0.75 of a mile as also is the beautiful Mary Stevens Park which is one of the towns most valuable and best known leisure assets covering some 11 hectares, featuring a large lake, sports facilities, outdoor gym and a children's play park. The other key attraction to this location is the proximity to Wollaston Village which is even closer at hand, being less than half a mile. This district of Stourbridge has a great distinct identity all of its own and is home to a rich selection of amenities, restaurants and character pubs, drawing visitors from far and wide, not least for the renowned \"Bathams\" Ale Houses of which there are two !NB: The last photograph within these particulars illustrates Swan Pool Park itself.The area also offers excellent commuting prospects, being within 15 miles of Birmingham City Centre and only two miles from Stourbridge Railway Station, offering direct links to London.The property itself provides a very good spread of accommodation eminently capable of serving a wide variety of family uses and needs and, crucially, the bedrooms are well balanced. At its heart, the centre-piece is a magnificent kitchen including an impressive bi-fold door giving a seamless transition to the gardens.With the combination of its generous size, high specification, first class build quality, large very private gardens and superb location then this excellent property certainly ticks a lot of boxes. Given also that it is brand new then the added luxury of low cost maintenance free living for a good many years to come, makes it really stand out from the crowd as a rare opportunity and, indeed, new houses in this price bracket, locally, do not really come much better !.The property is offered for sale with the benefit of a 10-year NHBC guarantee and simply cannot fail to impress.
