The surrounding area of Earlswood village features essential amenities including local shops and recreational activities such as sailing and fishing on the picturesque Earlswood Lakes. Community-focused, the nearby village hall hosts various events and services, while the Birches Medical Centre provides essential healthcare access. Strategically located, this home offers excellent connectivity to larger urban centers like Solihull and Redditch, which are approximately six miles away. Additionally, Birmingham City Centre is about 11 miles distant, and further afield, Coventry lies 18 miles away. Families will appreciate the proximity of well-rated primary schools within a mile’s radius and a range of secondary educational options, including grammar schools in Stratford and Warwick. Commuters will find convenience with easy access to major roadways; the property is just minutes from the M42 motorway network. For rail travelers, Earlswood station—only half a mile away—provides regular services into Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon. Furthermore, Birmingham International train station is a short drive away, providing inter-city connections as well as proximity to Birmingham International Airport. Set back from the road behind an attractive hedged boundary, the property boasts an expansive gravel ‘in and out’ driveway surrounded by well-maintained gardens. Inside, you’ll find an enclosed porch leading into a welcoming entrance hall with access to various living spaces. The dual-aspect living room features sliding doors that open into a conservatory bathed in natural light. The kitchen/breakfast room comes equipped with oak cabinetry and ample counter space while also offering picturesque views over the garden. Adjacent is a large utility room that benefits from additional storage options. Each bedroom upstairs benefits from generous natural light and pleasant views of either the gardens or surrounding landscape. Outdoors, Willowdene's grounds present significant charm with manicured lawns that were previously used as a grass tennis court. The extensive garden includes mature trees, borders bursting with greenery, fencing for added privacy around rear paddocks, and even an orchard featuring mixed apple trees. With dedicated spaces for gardening supplies and potential for further development or landscaping enhancements, this outdoor area complements the home’s interior beautifully. Overall, Willowdene offers not just a family home
