Description
Nestled on the corner of Erdington Road and Portland Road is this detached 5-bedroom cottage that presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of local heritage just a stone’s throw away from The Croft in Aldridge, Walsall, WS9. Brimming with character and period charm, this home exudes warmth and history at every turn.
Originally constructed in circa 1685, this picturesque cottage has been lovingly enhanced over the years with delightful Victorian era additions such as the stable (storage), trap store (garden store) and Kitchen as well as the 2nd floor Attic Room being converted into a 5th Bedroom. In 1938, a significant
expansion took place with the addition of a spacious Double Garage, which has since been transformed into a splendid Family Room, perfect for modern living and bringing the home now into 21st Century living.
Set upon approximately 0.5 acres of land, the property boasts expansive Gardens that envelope the cottage, offering tranquil and secluded spaces for relaxation and perfect hiding spaces for the children to enjoy. A large Driveway provides ample parking, complemented by a Double Garage featuring First-Floor Office/storage space. There is also an enclosed Courtyard accessed from the Kitchen which boasts a Stable (for storage), pond and garden storage.
As you enter the cottage you are blown away by the original features and vast space. The Entrance Hallway with tiled floor, exposed wattle and daub wall, exposed timber beams, and a woodburning stove in an original feature fireplace gives you a feel of what to expect with the rest of the house and a real sense of history. There is a cupboard for storing coats, bags and shoes, access door to the first floor, access to the front two reception rooms, access to the Cellar and the Kitchen Diner – it acts as the heart of the home.
The Living Room has dual windows and is bright and airy. The charm is from the exposed beams and beautiful feature fireplace and surround. It is currently being used as a Library room but would make an ideal lounge/snug or play room.
On the other side of the Hallway is the 2nd front reception room currently being used as a formal Dining Room. This room too boasts dual
windows, fireplace with surround and exposed beams as well as an original door. This room if not needed as a formal dining room could be utilised by a family as a playroom, teenager games room or work from home space too as really flexible and a great size.
The Kitchen Diner has been opened up by the current owners to create a great space that enables those family roasts dinners or the children at the table doing their homework whilst a parent is making a culinary creation. There is space for a large dining table and chairs set, plenty of storage and food preparation space with the fitted wall and base units with solid oak doors and the granite worktop as well as the range cooker. The tiled flooring, exposed beams and stable door leading out to the courtyard give a hint of its history once again.
Off the kitchen diner is a separate Utility Room with a Victorian airer and access to a smaller loft space. Opposite and up two steps is an airing
cupboard and a WC – perfect for modern family life with children or when guests are round.
Two steps lead into the amazing Family Room. Previously a double garage it has been transformed into something special whilst still giving a glimpse of history with the vaulted ceilings. The room now benefits from underfloor heating, bi fold doors, further access doors leading directly to the garden and courtyard, wiring in place to serve a home cinema with surround speakers (subject to separate purchase agreement) and projector screen – ideal for those family movie nights or watching the football games with friends. There is plenty of space for multiple seating and a games table if desired.
Ascending to the first floor, you'll find four generously proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, each exuding its own unique charm and character as you guide up and down steps and via exposed beams. Each bedroom has a feature fireplace too. The master has dual windows as is the full length of the property and is situated near to the attic staircase leading to the 5th bedroom that is currently being used as the owners dressing room. The family bathroom benefits from a Carronite bath with water jet spa, two shower heads including a
