Description
26 Ampton Road is an Impeccably kept detached family home which offers exceptional accommodation over three storeys. The house was comprehensively redeveloped and extended in 2006 since which time it has been extremely well maintained. The house provides approximately 5,979 sq ft (556 sq m) of living space and garaging, making this one of the larger Edgbaston homes and ideal for a large family. In addition to the impressive size of the house is the exceptional width of the plot frontage which spans some 170 feet (52m).
The house is entered via double doors into an entrance porch, with a solid wood front door leading into an expansive reception hall with quality oak flooring. There is a guest cloakroom WC as well as useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs. There are five reception rooms including a spacious sitting room, superb dining room which is large enough to comfortably accommodate a table for 12 or more diners, two interconnecting rooms serving as an ideal entertaining space, and a private study with fitted furniture and built-in library.
The breakfast kitchen is situated to the rear with double doors opening out into the garden. There is an array of fitted base and wall mounted units with black granite work-surfaces, stainless steel sink with mixer tap, stainless steel range cooker with 5 ring gas hob and two electric ovens, integrated Bosch dishwasher, space for American style fridge freezer. An open archway off the kitchen leads into the utility room with further fitted units, Belfast style sink, space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. Off the utility room is a second ground floor WC, and a door leading into the garage.
On the first floor is an extremely spacious landing, off which the six double bedrooms (three of which are ensuite) and the family bathroom are found. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and drawers, as well as a walk-in dressing area with further fitted furniture surrounding a built in mirror with overhead spotlights. The dressing room leads through to a large en-suite with roll-top bath, shower enclosure with multi-jet showers, twin wash basins, bidet, WC.
Bedroom two has extensive fitted furniture and an en-suite with shower over bath, WC and wash basin. Bedroom three also has fitted furniture and an en-suite with shower, WC and wash basin. Bedrooms four, five and six share the family bathroom which has bath, shower enclosure with multi-jet showers, WC, bidet and wash basin with surround vanity unit.
On the second floor are two further bedrooms, one of which is a double room, the other is a single sized bedroom which would make an ideal home office or could convert to a bathroom if required. Both bedrooms have access to substantial eaves storage cupboards.
Outside
To the front is an expansive in and out block-paved driveway which provides parking for multiple vehicles. There is a large integral double garage to the right hand side with electric up and over doors, a pedestrian door connecting to the house and a pedestrian door leading out to the garden. To the left hand side of the house, solid wood double gates open to a further area of hard-standing which could be used for additional secure parking if required.
To the rear is a private west facing garden which includes a very large block-paved terrace running the full width of the house and with a retaining wall and steps leading up to the substantial lawn. To the borders are mature shrubs and trees providing greenery and screening. We have measured the total plot to be in the order of 0.52 acre (0.21 ha).
