Cole Bank Road, Hall Green

FIVE BEDROOM PERIOD HOME WITH LARGE DRIVEWAY, PRIVATE GARDEN AND LOFT CONVERSION POTENTIAL
Situated opposite the green open spaces of Shire Country Park, this substantial freehold period home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, a private garden and an impressive driveway with parking for up to five vehicles. The property combines the character of an established home with an enviable position near Sarehole Mill, an area closely associated with the childhood of J.R.R. Tolkien, and provides further potential to create a sixth bedroom through a proposed loft room.
The ground floor offers a flexible arrangement of living and sleeping accommodation. The main living room provides a comfortable setting for relaxation, while a second reception room offers further space for entertaining, family activities or a separate sitting room.
The kitchen provides a practical area for everyday cooking and household use. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom which could alternatively serve as an additional lounge or reception room, depending on the requirements of the next owner. This room has its own en suite facilities, making it particularly useful for guests, extended family or those who prefer to have bedroom accommodation on the lower level.
The first floor comprises four further bedrooms, providing generous accommodation for family members, guests or those requiring dedicated home working space. A family bathroom and separate WC complete this level, adding convenience for a larger household.
The property also presents an opportunity to increase the accommodation further. A quote has been obtained for creating a large loft room, with ladder and access already in place. This could provide potential for a sixth bedroom or further versatile space, subject to the necessary building regulations and any required planning permissions.
Outside, the property benefits from a private garden providing space for outdoor seating, gardening and recreation. To the front, the substantial driveway provides parking for up to five vehicles, an excellent feature for larger households or those who regularly welcome visitors. An electric vehicle charging point adds further convenience for electric car owners.
Local Area
The location is a particularly appealing feature of this home, with Shire Country Park directly opposite. This local nature reserve follows the River Cole Valley for approximately four miles, incorporating woodland, grassland, wetlands and riverside walking routes. It provides an excellent setting for walking, running, cycling and enjoying the outdoors, while its range of natural habitats attracts a variety of wildlife.
Nearby Sarehole Mill is a historic watermill with a strong connection to J.R.R. Tolkien, whose childhood experiences in the area are understood to have influenced aspects of his later writing. The mill and its surrounding green spaces provide an attractive local heritage feature and a reminder of the area’s distinctive history.
Despite the extensive green space nearby, the property remains conveniently positioned for everyday amenities. Hall Green and the surrounding areas offer supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, public houses and essential services, particularly along Stratford Road. A selection of local schools, healthcare facilities and leisure amenities can also be found within the wider neighbourhood.
Hall Green railway station provides connections into Birmingham and onwards through the wider rail network, while local bus services offer further transport options. Birmingham city centre is accessible for a wider choice of shopping, employment, dining, entertainment and cultural attractions. The surrounding road network also provides convenient connections across south Birmingham and towards Solihull.
This substantial period home combines five-bedroom accommodation, flexible reception space, an en suite ground floor bedroom, a private garden and parking for up to five vehicles. With the possibility of creating a further loft room and the exceptional advantage of Shire Country Park directly opposite, the property offers an attractive combination of generous living space, outdoor access and convenient suburban amenities.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.
