A prestigious five bedroom residence in sought-after location, on the outskirts of Wombourne village.

elegant dinner parties and traditional family gatherings made possible by this fabulous space. The large stone fireplace, with elaborate leaf motif, is occupied by a living-flame gas fire. Storage is concealed within the panelling, including a conveniently large cupboard with shelving, used by the current owners as a mini-office! A projector screen has also been installed here, demonstrating the versatility of the space as a possible family entertainment space. Adjacent, the sizeable office or playroom, accessed via a discreet door within the oak panelling, offers multiple possibilities, with a door directly into the garage. The loft space above the garage boasts a high vaulted ceiling, this useful additional space having been part-converted and fitted with four Velux roof windows, quite large enough to house another en suite bedroom. To the rear the large purpose-built annex currently serves as a bright and contemporary gym, with exposed timber purlin and a smart wet-room off. However this invaluable additional space, laid with durable and attractive Amtico oak-style flooring, would also be well suited as a comfortable self-contained living space.

From the stylish Art Deco-inspired hall, a sweeping panelled staircase rises to the extensive landing, passing a high coloured window which beautifully illuminates the space. The generously-proportioned master bedroom is positioned to the right, enjoying a dual aspect with several charming leaded windows and a gorgeous fireplace in the glamorous style of the period, fitted with a living flame gas fire. Off the landing, floor-to-ceiling glazing frames a glazed door onto the unusually large balcony, enclosed by pretty wrought-iron balustrading. To the left, the second bedroom boasts a wall of fitted white wardrobes. The stunning views over the garden are also shared by the three further doubles along the landing, positioned at the front of the property, and a large window off the landing reveals the spectacular slope of the rear garden. The first of the two house bathrooms does require a degree of modernisation to reflect the tastes of potential purchasers; however the suite is in good condition and is perfectly usable, with a separate WC. Bathroom two boasts a smart white suite with Jacuzzi bath, mosaic style tiling with a leaf motif to walls and floor. Positioned adjacent to the third bedroom at the end of the long landing, this bathroom could very easily be converted to an en suite for the bedroom, simply by re-locating the door and opening the space up into the separate WC. Outside Wychwood’s exceptional front garden extends before the property, laid mainly to velvety manicured lawn framed by borders, planted with low-maintenance evergreens and some cottage-garden plants, with plenty of mature trees including apples and large conifers. Two sets of steps lead down from the long driveway which sweeps before the handsome timber-framed frontage. High timber fencing and tall hedging ensure that the property is invisible from Orton Lane, only to be revealed as one reaches the top of the driveway. A block paved patio wraps around the side and rear of the home, with a sizeable veranda off the drawing room and oak-framed summerhouse. The rear garden slopes away from the house above the patio wall, with steps rising and some terraced spaces for seating, mature English oak trees and planted beds, finishing in an almost magical stretch of woodland, flooded with bluebells in the spring and is sure to be loved by imaginative youngsters and dog-owners alike. The vast, 46ft garage offers ample space for four vehicles, accessible via one of two automatic roller doors. A gardeners’ WC and potting shed are located to the side of the garage.

Accommodation Entry through an imposing, studded timber front door to the entrance porch, where one is greeted by the exposed timber frame and slate flooring. The space is illuminated by a gorgeous large coloured leaded window and fully-glazed door into the reception hall, framed by interior coloured glazing. Fine oak strip flooring extends across the hall, with Art Deco timber panelling to the walls accentuated by dramatic deep black skirts and architraves. Stepping off the main hall to the left one enters the beautiful, vast drawing room, the huge 34ft space divided by a wide archway, ornate and elegant in design. To the front of the drawing room, the space is laid with fine maple flooring, and much of the wall is occupied by floor to ceiling leaded glazing with two doors onto the veranda, flooding the space with light and offering wonderful views toward the front garden. The property’s original 1930s tiled fireplace sits comfortably within the long wall, offering a grand focal point with a gas fire, framed by double windows. Opposite off the hall, the spacious yet cosy sitting room offers a more informal family space within white half-panelled walls, well-lit with fully-glazed double doors providing pleasingly unbroken views directly toward steps onto the front garden, and an elegant cream fireplace with marble hearth and living flame gas fire. The hall extends off to the right, laid with attractive oak-effect Amtico flooring and offering a glimpse through an ornate arch towards the beautiful kitchen. Fabulously detailed plasterwork borders the ceiling here, extending into the laundry, styled as the kitchen and offering space and provisions for three laundry appliances. The downstairs cloakroom, with separate WC, offers plenty of discreet storage within a wall of sliding wardrobes. The hallway terminates before the superb kitchen, designed and fitted in 2002 by world-renowned Clive Christian of London in the Regency style, painted in chic English green with crystal door furniture. The standard of luxury here is unparalleled; opulent gold leaf enhances the panels and scrolled columns of the units, topped in contrasting pale Corian and rich red granite. A stunning bevelled glass unit gleams in the ample sunlight permeating through the large picture window, which affords views of the extensive front garden over an inset one-and-a-half sink. Integrated, concealed appliances include a Bosch cabinet dishwasher and separate full-height Siemens fridge and freezer, in addition to a large Falcon range cooker. A large island unit, with an inset Kindred sink and curvaceous breakfast bars to both ends, provides dining space, in addition to the large kitchen extension which offers ample space for even a very large dining table with a fully-glazed patio door, beneath a large roof atrium-light. The classical kitchen design is beautifully complemented by the ceiling’s ornate plaster detailing, up-lit from the wall units. Onto the magnificent oak-panelled dining room, one can easily envisage the

Wychwood Having entered from Orton Lane via a long, sweeping gated driveway, Wychwood rises before you, an excellent example of an early 20th century fine English home and probably the most prestigious in the village. Built by local builder Joe Webb in 1937, the property remained in the Webb family until the 1990s, perhaps testament to the exclusivity of this purchasing opportunity. Half-timbered and featuring beautiful original leaded, coloured Art Deco windows across the property, Wychwood’s sprawling footprint encompasses a stunning drawing room with proportions suited to the most grand of ballrooms, a cosy, chic sitting room, stately oak-panelled dining room and an indescribably glamorous and luxurious kitchen, fitted by Clive Christian of London, arguably the finest interior specialist in the land. The property boasts cat-5 Ethernet media cabling and an integrated multi-room Bang & Olufsen speaker system, enabling seamless entertainment across the accommodation. In addition, a large office or playroom, substantial, self-contained modern annex with wet-room, full-height cellar and a semi-converted garage loft room offer numerous opportunities for development and versatile living, alongside current planning permission to allow an extension to the rear of the already vast drawing room, to provide en suite and dressing facilities to the principal bedroom suite. A further four fabulous double bedrooms are available, all positioned to enjoy views across the impeccably manicured front garden, a space of football-pitch proportions enhanced by a sizeable patio with veranda and summerhouse and rear gardens rising towards a stretch of magical, bluebell-infused woodland backing onto open countryside. The property is ideally situated to access the abundance of outstanding schooling available in the environs of Wolverhampton and Stourbridge.
