Detached house for sale in Newton Road, Great Barr, Birmingham B43

Once in a blue moon an opportunity arises to own a property that is truly spectacular. A property where the plot and space are just unparalleled compared to anything else locally. Newton Road provides that opportunity.

Steeped in history having been owned by the founders of Firkins Bakery which started back in 1870 and quickly became the largest regional family bakeries in the country with over 50 different locations. The key to a great cake is its exquisite aesthetic appeal and being well balanced in flavour something that Newton Road has great comparables to.

Pulling through the gated entrance onto the driveway the first thing you notice is the sheer size. Space to park at least 7 cars with ease and a fantastic front garden really sets the tone for the rest of the property.
The entrance hall is warm and inviting with superb attention to detail such as the hand-crafted oak banister and pillars leading up the stairs and laid with tiles throughout.
Entering the large lounge/diner that floods with natural light you start to understand just how big this property is. Space for all the family no matter the size, to sit back and unwind or just enjoy a catchup.
The sitting area just off the main kitchen adds yet another fantastic retreat but also creates the perfect setting should you still want to engage with guests while cooking up something truly spectacular for all to enjoy. If the large kitchen with range cooker wasn’t enough, then you can find a secondary kitchen to the rear where any unwanted smells can be kept at bay while still being able to utilise the main kitchen itself.
Continuing on the ground floor you will find a large study for those that need a dedicated space to work from and a third reception room currently being utilised as a gym. Finishing off the ground floor there is a guest wc, and the garage also has the potential to be converted should you want even more space but is currently being used as a part utility with built in storage.

The first floor is just as expansive as the ground. Five double bedrooms bigger than most reception rooms means there will be no fighting over who gets which room. The master bedroom benefits from a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, bedrooms three and four also benefit from fitted wardrobes and en-suites, while bedrooms five and six continue the trend of space we have seen throughout the property. Finally on the first floor you will find the large family bathroom.

Heading up the final set of stairs to the second floor is where you will find bedroom two. Spanning most of the property this room benefits from fitted storage, a dressing room, and an en-suite that’s as big as a roman bath!

Stepping to rear of the property you will find the quiet and peaceful rear garden that has enough space to host any BBQ or get together with ease, and let’s be honest, you aren’t going to have any issues hosting a large amount of guest at this stunning home!
