Seller Insight Conveniently located just north of Bromsgrove in the village of Lickey End, this unique and fully-modernised 1983-built detached house is set back from the road in an elevated and secluded plot. Extended and refurbished by the current owners, no stone has been left unturned in the work carried out to create a luxurious, stylish and comfortable home. ‘This is in no way a traditional home, it’s a truly modern open-plan home with an abundance of bespoke features which offer the best of contemporary living. We’ve paid great attention to detail in the refurbishment and have fitted some high-specification details, like a 16-foot breakfast bar and cinema room. It’s the most fantastic home for entertaining, both inside and out. The outside space is edged with high trees to guarantee total privacy. The incredible views at the rear across open-fields and on to the Malvern Hills had us falling in love with the place eight years ago – the floor to ceiling dining room windows offer the most amazing vista.’ ‘Lickey End is a lovely village conveniently situated to the south-east of the junction of the A28 Birmingham Road and the A42 motorway, the M5 is also easy to access – it’s just 20-minutes to Birmingham and Worcester. The village has great shops, pubs and restaurants, all within a five-minute walk and the countryside is just on the doorstep. The excellent Bromsgrove School is only five-minutes by car.’ ‘Everything in the house has been done to a very high standard and whoever buys the property can just move in without having to do a thing. The garden offers great privacy and the views take the eye right to the horizon. The sunsets are amazing here!’ ‘The house has a wonderful flow throughout and is perfect for entertaining. The 16-foot breakfast bar in the modern kitchen is excellent for formal or casual entertaining. The open-plan layout makes it a very social space which can accommodate a lot of people comfortably.’ ‘We’ll miss the wonderful sense of space and light this house offers – It’s very well designed – and the views from the dining room; watching the seasons change and the visiting wildlife from here is immensely pleasurable.’* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
