5 bedrooms House in Ash Lane, Alvechurch, Birmingham B48
Stylish 4/5-bed, 3-bath property in peaceful Hopwood, over 2,941 sq ft, blends modern and traditional design. Views overlooking cricket grounds, great motorway links, 10 miles from Birmingham. Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Hopwood, between the sought-after villages of Barnt Green and Alvechurch, this remarkable four/five-bedroom, three-bathroom house is a stunning fusion of contemporary design and warm, traditional features. Over the past 26 years, the property has been lovingly extended and modernised to create a truly individual family home, set against the tranquil backdrop of the Five Ways Old Edwardians Cricket Club. At the heart of the home is a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, the contemporary Kutchenhaus kitchen features high-gloss, handleless cabinetry, quartz worktops with etched draining strips, and a central island with inset sink, NEFF dishwasher, discreetly positioned plug sockets and under-counter lighting. The L-shaped raised breakfast bar comfortably seats four and provides a perfect spot to gather. Top-tier appliances include a 7-ring Brittania gas hob range with dedicated fish burner and twin electric ovens, CDA extractor, combination NEFF microwave/grill, NEFF hide-and-slide oven, NEFF warming drawer, and integrated fridge-freezer. With six lighting zones including pendant chandeliers, under-counter lighting and soft-glow display cabinets the space adapts to suit any mood or time of day. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors flood the kitchen and snug with natural light and lead out to the landscaped gardens. Exposed deep grey steel beams add architectural interest and contrast beautifully with the off-white porcelain floor tiles, which continue into the attached sunroom, a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation, with views over the cricket pitch. The main lounge blends traditional charm with comfort. Dual-aspect windows and French doors bring in the garden views, while a feature fireplace with gas log-burner effect and Cotswold stone surround provides a cosy focal point. Elegant wooden laminate flooring and sleeper-toned internal doors with obscured glass and chrome detailing run throughout. The ground floor also includes the main bedroom with ensuite shower room, three further bedrooms (2 currently used as home offices), and a family bathroom featuring tonal cream and white tiles, underfloor heating, freestanding Hudson Reed tap and bath, pedestal basin, mirrored storage unit and corner shower with rainfall and handheld fittings. Upstairs, the entire central footprint is dedicated to a guest suite. A generous dressing area offers bespoke fitted wardrobes and cabinetry on all sides, leading to both the bedroom and the luxurious main bathroom. This standout space is fully tanked and waterproofed, boasting polished pebble his and hers sinks with Rotmonio waterblade taps, a step-up Jacuzzi bath with feature lighting, and a walk-in shower with Aquabella flush tray (1200mm x 890mm), unexpectedly illuminated by four frosted windows. Additional highlights include a chrome towel radiator, old-style radiator with oak bench seating, loft access for extra storage, and two Velux windows offering stunning rear views.
