Perfectly positioned in a glorious rural location just twelve miles south of Birmingham city centre is Newlands, an elegant Victorian family home that boasts sixteen acres of gardens and pastureland. We purchased the property twenty-four years ago and it was the land more than anything else that was the main attraction, says Sheila. We had horses back then and we liked the idea of being able to keep them at home and this property offered all the space we could possibly wish for.Id describe the house as being a little basic when we came here and so we definitely took it on as a project, but we could see that it had huge potential so we stripped it back and worked our way through and its now just lovely throughout. The layout and the footprint have remained the same but we had the roof repaired, floors were replaced, the kitchen and bathrooms were updated you name it, we did it, but all of the work was done very sympathetically, so its still a house with a lot of character and charm. It was the land that brought us here, but the house has been a fantastic family home and a lovely place to bring up our children.The setting is just lovely, and the fact that we have all this land means that the views are absolutely stunning for as far as the eye can see, continues Sheila. To the front of the house we have a large in-and-out driveway, but the majority of the land stretches out beyond the back of the property and consists of a very attractive walled garden that probably extends to around one-and-a-half acres and then the rest of the land is one huge field that we currently rent to a local farmer. Its very peaceful here, incredibly picturesque and we enjoy a wonderful degree of privacy.Favourite Room: The whole house is lovely, but there are two rooms in particular that Id say stand out, says Sheila. The winter lounge with its wood-burning stove is a wonderfully cosy room when its cold and miserable outside, and the summer lounge has French doors onto the garden, so its a very light and bright and the space can be extended outside when the weather is warm.Favourite aspect of the grounds or surrounding area: Were surrounded by all of this stunning countryside and yet its so easy to get just about anywhere, says Sheila. Birmingham International Airport is only about 20 minutes away, and the M42, M40 and M6 are all within easy reach. We can access an array of well-served towns and can jump in the car and be in Solihull in 20 minutes and the city centre of Birmingham in around half an hour.Memorable event (if not another favourite room or unique feature): As well as the double garage, we also have another two-storey building thats attached to the main house and which weve also renovated during our time here, says Sheila. On the ground floor theres an office and on the first floor theres another room that I currently use as a hobby room, but the space is very flexible in terms of its use.What theyll miss most / why they are leaving: This has been a fantastic family home for the past twenty-four years and weve made some wonderful memories during our time here, says Sheila, but now that the children have flown the nest we feel that its time to downsize. In terms of what Ill miss most, Id have to say absolutely everything.Location - The property is located on Seafield Lane past the postcode destination and continue on to Hob Hill Farm, Newlands is directly opposite.Services To The Property - The property has Oil fired central heating and an oil fired AgaThere is mains electric and water to the propertyDrainage is via a KlargesterLocal Council - Bromsgrove District CouncilThe Property is FreeholdViewing Arrangements - Strictly via the vendors sole agents Fine & CountryWebsite - For more information visit Opening Hours - Monday to Friday9.00 am - 5.30 pmSaturday 9.00 am - 4.30 pmSunday 11.00 am - 3.00 pmAgent Notes - All measurements are approximate and quoted in metric with imperial equivalents and for general guidance only and whilst every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, they must not be relied on.
