Golden End Cottage is a charming Grade II listed home with characterful accommodation throughout. The house originally dates from the 16th century, with an extension added to the rear in the late 1960s. Golden End Cottage really is a house of two halves.

One enters the property via the entrance hall with doors leading to the principal reception rooms. These include a lovely drawing room with an abundant character from the exposed timber beams and a delightful fireplace. Just off the drawing room is a useful study. The sizeable dining room is well-placed with views over the fore garden and makes for perfect formal dining. The ground floor is enhanced further via the kitchen/breakfast room and a sizeable dual-aspect family room which has double doors to the rear and a spiral staircase rising to the first floor. There is also a small playroom, utility and shower room.

The first floor is accessed via either the traditional staircase or the spiral staircase from the family room. There is a principal bedroom suite with an en suite shower room, bedroom two with an en suite bathroom and three further bedrooms. Bedroom three has a walk-in wardrobe/cupboard. There is also a family bathroom.

A private driveway to the front of the house provides plenty of parking and gives access to the double garage. The formal garden and grounds are delightful, with a beautiful fore garden having well-stocked herbaceous borders, shrub beds, specimen trees and topiary-lined pathways. To the rear is an immaculate, mainly laid to lawn garden of an enviable size, enclosed via mature hedging to ensure privacy. The garden has a variety of specimen trees, a neat patio area and a heated swimming pool.


Golden End Cottage is conveniently situated in this delightful location within walking distance of the centre of Knowle and all the amenities the village offers. Knowle has a wide selection of local shops, restaurants, highly regarded junior and infant schools, and excellent bus services to Dorridge and Solihull.

Solihull town centre is only 3 miles away and offers excellent shopping facilities, including the Touchwood Shopping Centre, which has a selection of exclusive shops with household names like John Lewis. There is also an abundance of restaurants, bars and leisure facilities. Dorridge has a train station in the village with regular services to Birmingham and London Marylebone.

The property is ideally placed for access to the motorway network with the M42 (J4) just 1.5 miles away. Birmingham International Airport/NEC is located off Junction 6 to the north, and the M40 (J16) lies some 3.5 miles from the property, providing the principal route to London.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
