About
DESCRIPTION A substantial six-bedroom period home arranged over three floors, offering exceptionally versatile accommodation, generous room proportions and a sizeable rear garden.
With multiple bathrooms, spacious communal areas and flexible ground-floor accommodation, the property lends itself particularly well to larger households or buyers seeking a home with plenty of adaptable space.
The property is entered through a welcoming hallway, where decorative tiled flooring and traditional proportions provide an immediate sense of character.
To the front is a generous bay-fronted room, currently arranged as a bedroom but equally capable of serving as an additional reception room, home office or formal sitting room.
Further along the hallway is a separate living room, providing comfortable additional communal space.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms a particularly practical part of the home, with an extensive range of contemporary white cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, integrated cooking appliances and space for dining.
Multiple windows bring in good natural light, while access is provided towards the rear garden. A useful laundry area and a ground-floor bathroom complete this level.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive bay-fronted principal room.
This floor is particularly well served by both a separate bathroom and an additional shower room, offering convenient facilities for a busy household. Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor.
Both offer generous usable space, with the larger bedroom benefiting from particularly impressive proportions. Built-in storage is also available from the landing.
Externally, the property enjoys a substantial enclosed rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature planting and established hedging.
The garden provides ample space for outdoor seating, recreation and further landscaping for those wishing to create a more tailored outside space.To the front of the property is a small driveway with parking for two cars.
LOCATION Melville Road is conveniently located within a popular Edgbaston neighbourhood and the prestigious, quaint "pocket" of Edgbaston with St Augustine's Church at the epicentre, offering excellent road and transport links in to Birmingham city centre and motorway links of M6 /M40 beyond.
The property is very close to Queen Elizabeth and City Hospitals, University of Birmingham, and amenities of Edgbaston with a plethora of independent and quality restaurants in the nearby Edgbaston Village.
