If you enjoy green open spaces while still being close to the city centre, this detached home next to Manor Park could be what you are looking for.

Located in Eymore Close, Selly Oak, it is an architect-designed property that the current owners have enjoyed since it was built.

It is in a pleasant cul de sac and is part of the Bournville Village Trust Estate.

The house starts with an enclosed glass porch and frosted glazed door to the reception hall.

Inside there is an open tread staircase, storage cupboard and ground floor guest toilet.

The lounge is a good size at more than 20 feet long. Glazed double doors lead to the garden and offer views of the park. It has a coal-effect electric fire set on a raised hearth with plinth over, bookshelves to the side and built-in seating. There is also an electrically-controlled sun blind.

Double doors link the living room and dining room, which also has a door from the hall. This has a window to the side overlooking the park. A serving hatch to the kitchen makes it easy to get dishes direct from the kitchen to the table. The room also has plenty of cupboards.

A breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of wall/base cupboards and drawers with roll edge work surfaces and tiled splash backs. Built-in appliances include a Hotpoint double electric oven, Hotpoint integrated dishwasher and Whirlpool ceramic four-ring electric hob. There is ample space for breakfasting and a shelved pantry off.

The separate utility has a sink unit, plumbing for a washing machine and space for refrigerator.

This floor also has a good-sized study or snug.
