St Bernards, Solihull, B92 7AX

Built in 1876 and featuring in the Olton Heritage book by Jean Powrie, Margaret Jordan and Carol Andrews “The History of an Edwardian Suburb” is this simply stunning three storey, seven-bedroom iconic Victorian property. With plenty of original features such as stained-glass windows, Minton flooring and even a servant bell board, this family home just oozes character and charm. Sympathetically extended in 1925 to add a double garage and a games room, this home is a one-off incredible opportunity.

Accommodation
Entering the property through the porch and main front door into the panelled entrance hall which is currently carpeted but has original Minton flooring. To the left of the entrance hall is the drawing room which has a bay window facing the front of the house, this room also gives access to the conservatory. To the right of the entrance hall is the walnut panelled dining room. Further on through the entrance hall is the study /library with a stunning original rose and beautifully restored coving. Through to the kitchen where there are two pantries which then leads though to the breakfast room and the utility room. On the ground floor there is also a WC and access to a large cellar which is great for storage.

Second Floor
On the second floor, there are four large bedrooms two which have their own ensuite and a 22ft games room with a vaulted ceiling. There is also a main bathroom on this floor with a separate WC

Third Floor
On the third floor the current vendor has set up the three rooms as a home office, a hobby craft room and a spare room. This floor also provides accessible loft space and a ‘secret room’ which could quite easily be converted into a bathroom. This floor has excellent potential to be converted to a self-contained annexe.

Outside
Outside the property is set back from the road with an in/out driveway and access to both the single and double garage. The double garage has access through to the property itself and the single garage has access straight through to the rear garden. To the rear is a very private garden with a large patio area and a lawn area. In addition, there is also an outhouse which also houses a gardener’s WC.
