Located in a leafy residential area just a few hundred yards from the south side of Sutton Coldfield’s Sutton Park, a nature reserve and one of the UK’s largest urban parks, this fully renovated and modernised Edwardian property packs a punch when it comes to style and comfort. Rich in period features and well-chosen in- dustrial-style fixtures and fittings, the modern rustic feel offers a relaxed and welcoming environment. Dan and Louise have owned the property for five years; ‘we’ve sympathetically restored the house to create a truly modern urban home with plenty of social open-plan space yet there’s always somewhere to go if you feel like having a quiet moment. It also comes with a good amount of parking. The house is perfect for the needs of a family and is a fantastic house for entertaining – the flow from inside to out is a real feature. The position is very quiet with a feel of seclusion, yet everything is within walking distance; Sutton Coldfield centre in one direction, in the other and all local Boldmere amenities close to hand. You can also jump on a train and be in London in two-hours.’

We’ve got friendly neighbours who are there if you need them but who are not intrusive.’

‘It’s a wonderfully flexible family home with an air of luxury. It’s ideal for entertaining and the integrated sound system makes it really cool! It’s great throughout the seasons; the bi-fold doors fully opened-up in the summer allow inside and outside to become one whilst in the winter it feels really cosy.’

‘We love the kitchen which acts as the hub of the house – it’s such a large and versatile space. We find it great to be able to cook and chat with everyone simultaneously. The kitchen island fits 6-8 for informal occasions whilst the main dining areas can host a dinner party of around 20-guests. Of course, the outside with its well-lit terrace is perfect for evening drinks and barbeques.’

‘279 Boldmere Road is a real stand-out property in the area and is quite unique for its period. We’ve loved renovating it but there is scope to do more if desired, like going up into the loft to make a separate space for teenagers.’

‘We’ll really miss the overall sense of space, especially the kitchen.’
