Occupying a superb location in a quiet cul-de-sac and with your own unique rear views across the stunning landscape of Edgbaston Reservoir, 47 Selwyn Road is a delightful example of a most spacious late Edwardian detached family home in the much sought after Edgbaston area.

Seller Insight - This, exceptionally, beautiful house has been the much loved, spacious, family home of the present owners for the past thirty six years, and is testament to its quality and location, plus the care given to it by them over this time.

The house is set amongst other individual, established, homes along this quiet cul de sac, and No.47 backs onto the local reservoir which also supports a variety of birds and other wildlife. It also is used for leisure activities, including sailing, windsurfing and rowing. Every conceivable amenity is easily accessed from the house, alongside brilliant education opportunities. Music events, theatre, exhibitions, outstanding restaurants are all so close. The road and rail network is superb and Birmingham International Airport enables travel to all destinations, either UK or abroad.

We had friends who lived in this road and we always admired their home, and others, in this location. Therefore, when this particular house became available, we were so thrilled. Built in 1914, the house is solid and well-constructed, and had been very well cared for by previous owners. We have, of course, maintained the house throughout our years here. The flexible layout proved perfect for our family and professional life and our main addition has been to replace and increase the size of the conservatory.

Every room is very special for us, but our dining room is bright, sunny and spacious and Sunday has always been the day, when eight of us comfortably sit around our table for lunch. At Christmas, and when we entertain, the room really does come into its own and, whether it be large family lunches or groups of friends, the room is ideal.

The garden has matured beautifully over the years and does give us lots of colour and pleasure whatever the season. We have areas for dining and relaxing and having such convenient access to the pathway alongside the reservoir, brings enjoyment, especially should we wish to take a relaxed stroll along here.

We must mention other delights of living in such a special location. Neighbours are very friendly and caring but we all respect privacy. Many communal events take place from sociable gatherings of interest, pancake races, Easter egg hunts. There is always something taking place for everyone to enjoy.

We have reached the time in our lives when we wish to downsize. The house has served us so well throughout the years. It has been a happy, welcoming family home in a location which offers quietness and relaxation teamed with having such brilliant access to whatever is required.
