This detached family home extends to approximately 1,158 sq ft (107.6 sq m), with a single garage adding a further 159 sq ft (14.8 sq m) for a total of around 1,317 sq ft (122.4 sq m), and a side gate gives private access through to the rear garden.
Inside, the entrance hall leads through to a well-proportioned living room at 16'10 x 10'2, warmed by a gas fire and opening through French doors onto the rear patio and garden beyond, ideal for the months when indoor and outdoor space can flow into one.
A separate dining room/study offers flexible space for family dining or working from home, while the conservatory, a generous 13'2 x 11'8, makes a bright, garden-facing spot to sit back and take in the view.
The kitchen is fitted with a gas hob, Neff oven, grill and dishwasher, and an integrated Bosch washing machine, all set beneath granite worktops.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles, each benefiting from built-in storage that takes the pressure off freestanding furniture and keeps rooms feeling uncluttered.
The principal bedroom is a particularly generous 16'10 x 10'6, plus en-suite shower room, while the second and third bedrooms measure 9'4 x 9'3 and 11'2 x 7'3 respectively. The family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a shower over the bath.
Outside, the single garage comes with the practical benefit of a rear courtesy door, giving direct access through to the garden without stepping back out onto the drive, and it also houses the boiler, keeping it out of the way of everyday living space.
Altogether, 24 Lapwing Drive offers a well-planned, flexible family home in one of Solihull's most individual villages, an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to put down roots somewhere with genuine character close by.
Location
Hampton in Arden is a most picturesque village, maintaining traditional street scenes and a handful of everyday amenities, while also offering the destination landmark of Hampton Manor. Set within 45 acres of gardens and woodland, Hampton Manor is home to not one but three dining experiences, the bakery for an everyday treat, Kynd for wood-fired dining, and Grace & Savour for something more special. More casual dining can be found at the Soho Tavern and, on the High Street, the White Lion pub.
The Hampton Health and Fitness Club and a bespoke gym on Old Station Road, are complemented by the village's nearby Sports Club with a vast range of activities to offer including tennis, hockey, squash, paddle, pickleball and pétanque.
The village has always maintained a loyal population: youngsters who grow up here often want to stay close by, while more mature generations choose to downsize without leaving the village and its amenities behind. Hampton in Arden lies under four miles from Solihull town centre, a superb option for buyers wanting some distance from the bustle without compromising on facilities or lifestyle.
The parish church of St Mary and St Bartholomew anchors the village, its 12th-century chancel overlooking a 15th-century packhorse bridge across the River Blythe, one of Solihull borough's prettiest corners. Families are well served by George Fentham Endowed School directly in the village, taking children from nursery through to Year 6, with Arden Academy in nearby Knowle and Heart of England in Balsall Common providing nearby secondary education. Day-to-day essentials are covered by the Post Office and shops on the High Street, with Touchwood Shopping Centre in Solihull a short drive away for a fuller range of shopping.
Hampton in Arden's genuine rarity is its own railway station, sitting on the West Coast Main Line with direct services into Birmingham New Street in around 15 to 20 minutes and to London Euston in as little as 1 hour 20 minutes, while Birmingham International, for the airport and the NEC, is just a three-minute hop away. The M42 is also close by for onward road connections. At weekends, the wider Forest of Arden countryside invites walking and cycling, with the National Trust's Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House both a short drive away.
