Wood End Farmhouse is well situated for not only Birmingham city centre and local towns such as Solihull, Redditch and Stratford upon Avon, but also the national motorway network. Birmingham city centre is approximately 8 miles to the north, with Solihull some 5 miles north east, and Redditch 4 miles south west. The M42 Motorway (J3 and J4) are within easy driving distance, as is the M40 (restricted J16). There are local railway stations at Wood End, on the North Warwick line, and Dorridge, both having good services to Birmingham (Moor Street and Snow Hill). From Dorridge station fast trains run to London Marylebone, making the capital easy to access. Birmingham International Airport, the NEC and future HS2 travel hub, are all within easy travelling distance, just off the M42 Motorway (J6).

The property comprises a substantial, Five bedroom, detached, Victorian former farmhouse, of approximately 3000 sq ft, which was the subject of extensive renovation, extensions and improvements in the late 1980s/early 1990s, Now some upgrading of décor and some fittings will bring the property into 2025. Constructed of mellow Warwickshire red brick, under a blue slate roof, the property has double glazed windows, high ceilings and many decorative features, such as plasterwork, ceiling roses, picture rails and in particular, marble fireplaces.

The large breakfast kitchen is a particular feature of the property, with an extensive range of well-fitted units, a 4-oven Aga and really is the ‘hub’ of the house. It would provide an excellent family home, within easy walking distance of Wood End Railway station on the North Warwick line and the famous Warwickshire village of Tanworth in Arden, with its church, public house, school and other services.

The auctioneers recommend early viewing in order to appreciate the potential of this large property.
