Gardens & Grounds

Weatheroak enjoys a beautifully private south west facing garden, well screened by mature planting and established shrubs. Opening directly onto the garden, it creates a wonderful space to enjoy all year around. The garden features a variety of attractive species including camellia, magnolia, skimmia, euonymus, pieris and box, creating year-round interest. Several mature apple and fruit trees add charm and character, while a generous lawned area to one side of the property emphasises the impressive width of the plot and offers potential for further landscaping or extension (subject to the necessary consents). A terrace patio provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertainment during the warmer months. Tucked discreetly within the garden is a large rhododendron, behind which sits a useful tool shed, along with a built-in wood store. A particularly attractive feature is the generous summer house, complete with large sliding doors, providing a peaceful retreat to enjoy all year round overlooking the garden.

The breadth of the plot and existing footprint present significant potential for extending the property to either side, offering exciting possibilities for future development (subject to planning permission).

SOLIHULL
Historically part of Warwickshire, Solihull is one of the most prosperous
towns in the English Midlands. In November 2013, the uSwitch Quality
of Life Index named Solihull the “best place to live” in the United Kingdom.
The motto of Solihull is Urbs in Rure (Town in Country).
Solihull’s name is commonly thought to have derived from the position of
its parish church, St Alphege, on a ‘soily’ hill. The church was built on a hill
of stiff red marl, which turned to sticky mud in wet weather.
Solihull probably came into being about a thousand years ago, as a
clearing in the forest to which people would come to trade. The town is
noted for its historic architecture, which includes surviving examples of
timber framed Tudor style houses and shops. The historic Solihull School
dates from 1560 (although not on its present site). The red sandstone
parish church of St. Alphege dates from a similar period.

Excellent communication links with the M42 (J4 and J5) which provides
access to the M40 providing motorway access to London, the M6 and the
North West and the M5 and the South West. Birmingham International
Airport is a short drive away, as well as the hub of the Midlands rail
network, the newly refurbished New Street. Solihull train station
provides direct access to London Marylebone.
