We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Summary Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac and just a short stroll from the renowned 135-acre Cofton Park, this exceptional modern home has been thoughtfully enhanced through a series of extensions and refurbishments, creating a stylish and versatile living space perfectly suited to contemporary family life.
At its heart lies an outstanding open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with bi-folding doors that open onto an absolutely beautiful south-west facing rear garden.
The garden itself is a standout feature, offering an impressive sense of space, with its lower section leased from Cofton Hackett Parish Council - providing a rare and valuable extension beyond the typical boundaries.
Complementing this impressive hub is a separate lounge, a dedicated ground floor office ideal for home working, and a high-specification garden studio, offering flexible additional accommodation or workspace.
Description The accommodation is both well-planned and beautifully presented, beginning with an enclosed porch that opens into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with access to a useful understairs WC.
From here, there is entry into a charming lounge, featuring an ‘original style’ decorative fireplace with bespoke built-in bookcasing and cabinetry to either side.
Undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home is the stunning extended open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room.
This impressive space has been designed with modern living in mind, boasting a breakfast island, a striking part-vaulted ceiling with Velux windows that flood the room with natural light, and bi-folding doors that open seamlessly onto the patio.
The kitchen itself is superbly appointed with a Rangemaster oven, extractor fan, integrated dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.
It also benefits from ‘Lutron’ WiFi-controlled motorised smart blinds and smart lighting, all operable via your phone.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical laundry room, housing the boiler and providing space for both a washing machine and dryer, along with a door leading out to the rear garden.
From the laundry room, there is also access to a versatile office space, enhanced by a notably high ceiling.
To the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two of which are particularly well-proportioned, alongside a stylish modern bathroom fitted with a sleek ‘Niagara’ two-head shower over the bath.
Outside The rear garden is truly beautiful and enjoys a highly desirable south-westerly aspect.
A sunny patio area - perfectly positioned as a real sun trap - descends via steps (as well as a child’s slide!) through well-stocked planted beds down to a lawn with fenced boundaries.
There is also a shed and, notably, an insulated, high-specification garden studio building equipped with both water and electricity, offering excellent flexibility.
The enclosed lower section of the garden, leased from Cofton Hackett Parish Council at a nominal annual cost of £50 (as indicated in blue on the boundary plan), is dedicated to fruit and vegetable growing.
A gate from this area leads through to communal grounds owned by the Parish Council.
To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by mature planting that offers a good degree of privacy.
Location Cofton Hackett itself has many fine walks to be enjoyed in both the Lickey Hills woods and Cofton Park.
There are some local shops and transport facilities and is also well located for the M42 and M5 motorways.
Barnt Green village is approximately two miles away and has every day shopping facilities, doctor's surgery, several dentists, sports club, local primary school and railway station on the cross city line to Birmingham.
No more than 2 miles away is the recently regenerated Longbridge site (former mg Rover car plant), home to the largest Marks and Spencers in the Midlands.
