For anyone who loves their garden, the layout of this Georgian house in Ryland Road, Edgbaston, offer plenty of ways to enjoy it.
It is laid out across four storeys. The lower ground level has a modern kitchen with glass doors to one end which can be thrown open on sunny days, leading out into the garden and outdoor entertaining area.
Steps outside lead up to a balcony on the ground floor, a pleasant place to sit and relax in the summer.
Though the house has been modernised, it still has many lovely original features, particularly in the living rooms.
The bathrooms and kitchen offer a more contemporary luxury.
At the front of the house climbing plants round the windows, wrought iron gates and an array of architectural planting create a very pretty first impression.
Inside there is a traditional entrance with cornicing and an archway that has been opened out into the front reception room.
This living room still has its period timber shutters to the large sash window, oak flooring, high skirting board and a marble fireplace surrounding the gas fire with decorative tiling.
An arched wooden door leads into another reception room which has more oak flooring, high skirting boards and cornicing. A glazed door leads out to the tiled balcony overlooking the garden.
On the lower ground floor the dining room is large enough for eight to 10 diners. Alternatively it could be used as a cinema room. There are more decorative archways here and a glass cupboard with pull out shelving for office use.
It is handily placed next to a kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a German designer kitchen with a wide range of glossy units, built-in five-ring Miele gas hob and extractor, large Miele oven, plate warmer and fridge and freezer.
There is also a utility which has plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a shower room with fully tiled cubicle, toilet and basin.
A wrap around staircase runs through the middle of the house linking all of the floors.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms.
A stylish bathroom has a raised, extra long enamel bath with shower attached, twin designer sinks with granite work surfaces, toilet, and a walk-in shower with rain shower and side pressure jets.
Next to it there is another shower room with fully tiled shower unit and toilet.
The master bedroom can be found on the top floor. An adjoining dressing room features smoked glass doors and matching built-in wardrobes.
The back garden is arranged over two levels. A Mediterranean-style entertaining area is located just outside the kitchen with brick retainer walls, quarry tiling and steps. The balcony above acts as a shelter.
