Property description
INTRODUCTION 25 Maney Hill Road is a fine example of period family living within the heart of Sutton Coldfield town centre. Offering 3 storeys of deceptively spacious, fabulous accommodation, oozing Edwardian character with features such as bay windows to the front, Minton tiled hallway & stunning fireplaces to the reception rooms. The period features are complimented by a lovely kitchen with AGA & a sumptuous refitted bathroom.
Certain areas, such as the 2nd floor & rear 1st floor bedroom, are in need of some finishing works, which allows for a buyer to place their own stamp onto a style of property that rarely comes onto the market.
For family living, the area of Maney, in Sutton town centre, takes some beating. Set close to shops, bars, restaurants, cinema & a number of popular local schools, together with great links to Birmingham city centre such as nearby bus routes & Sutton rail station.
ACCOMMODATION GROUND FLOOR The property gives off a great first impression, with a beautiful character front elevation & a lovely canopy porch. The original leaded light glazed door, with side window, leads into the hallway. The hall is a fantastic entrance into the house, opening up into a grand foyer area with stairs leading to the first floor, large storage cupboard, Minton tiled floor & access to the reception rooms & kitchen. The lounge is of an impressive size, with a bay window to the front & a central focal point of fireplace with coal effect gas fire. The dining room is a very elegant room, having a fireplace with coal effect gas fire & a patio door out to the garden. Currently used as a snooker room, this room would be equally at home with a large dining table within it. The kitchen has been refitted, yet has been cleverley kept within the period style of the property, having a quarry tiled floor, floor storage units with surfaces over, twin sink with mixer tap & stunning focal point of AGA housed within central chimney recess. Leading from the kitchen is the utility, which has 2 wall mounted gas central heating boilers, plumbing for a washing machine, Belfast style ceramic sink & roll top bath. At the rear is a useful & versatile room, currently used as a study/office room with doors out to the garden & a guest WC leading off.
FIRST FLOOR The staircase from the hall leads to the first floor, which has a leaded glazed window at the side. A further staircase then leads from the landing to the second floor. Bedroom 1, at the front, has a period style fire surround & a bay window. Bedroom 2, located opposite bedroom 1, has a period style fire surround & built in wardrobe. Bedroom 3, is situated at the front, while bedroom 4, at the rear, is in need of some finishing works to the walls & ceiling & has a Velux roof window & a fire surround. The bathroom has been refitted in a contemporary style with a period twist, having a tiled floor, WC, shower cubicle, roll top bath, wash basin & 2 Velux roof windows.
SECOND FLOOR The second floor is accessed via the staircase from the first floor landing. A small landing area leads from the stairs. The second floor is the area of the house in need of the most finishing works but is also the area that offers the most potential. On the landing area is the water tank & a potential area that could possibly be used as an ensuite - subject to obtaining the relevant building regulations. Leading off the landing is a fabulous space, ideal to be used as a further bedroom, potentially as part of a master bedroom suite with the previously mentioned ensuite. This room is of an impressive size but does require finishing works to most areas.
EXTERIOR To the front is a driveway providing off road parking for 2 cars. At the rear is a garden with patio area, lawned area, timber shed & access around the side of the house to the front.
