Church Lane, Solihull

Pennwood Lodge is an impressive and highly individual detached bungalow, occupying a wonderfully generous and private plot surrounded by mature trees and established gardens. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout, the property combines excellent family living with superb entertaining spaces and the added advantage of a self-contained annexe, creating an exciting opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential Airbnb use.
DetailsAt the heart of the main house is a fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed with both everyday family life and entertaining in mind. The contemporary kitchen features an extensive range of sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating, complemented by a striking tiled splashback. A log-burning stove adds warmth and character, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright conservatory-style dining and sitting area, enjoying extensive glazing and lovely views across the gardens with direct access outside. Further reception space is particularly generous, including a comfortable separate living room with feature fireplace and a fantastic games and entertaining room, currently arranged around a full-size pool table. French doors provide further access to the outside, making this a particularly sociable home with an excellent connection between the internal and external spaces. Additionally, there is a separate utility room with access to the garden.
The bedroom accommodation is equally versatile, including an impressive dual aspect principal bedroom with dressing area plus en-suite and enjoying direct access onto the rear garden plus three further well-proportioned bedrooms. The family bathroom is well appointed and features a contemporary freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure and twin wash basins.
A particularly valuable feature of Pennwood Lodge is the separate annexe accommodation. Providing a spacious open-plan living and bedroom area together with its own en-suite shower room, this highly flexible space is ideal for extended family, older children or visiting guests. It could also provide an excellent opportunity for use as Airbnb or short-term guest accommodation, offering potential to generate an additional income stream while remaining separate from the principal living accommodation.
OutsideOutside is where Pennwood Lodge really comes into its own. The property sits within a substantial and beautifully established plot, with extensive lawns, mature trees, colourful planting and established hedging creating an impressive degree of privacy. A large paved terrace immediately adjoining the house provides ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining, while further into the garden is an attractive timber pergola and additional seating area, creating another peaceful spot from which to enjoy the surroundings. To the front, a sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles, complemented by further lawned gardens and mature screening. Solar panels are also fitted to the property.
