An Edwardian family home in the heart of Bentley Heath, where a gas burning stove warms the interior and a pergola-covered garden bar extends the living space outdoors.
Heathcote is a handsome Edwardian detached home on Mill Lane, in the heart of Bentley Heath, offering beautifully proportioned family accommodation of approximately 3,419 sq ft across three floors. Bay windows, wide hallways and generous room proportions speak to the house's period origins, while the layout has been shaped to suit contemporary family life.
The sitting room is a natural focal point, its gas-burning stove and bay window making it as easy to settle into on a winter evening as it is to open up for entertaining in summer. A separate dining room, also with a bay window, provides a proper setting for family meals and dinner parties, while a snug just off the kitchen offers a quieter spot for reading, homework, play, or a second sitting room.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen combines a breakfast bar with a good run of units and wood flooring underfoot, finished with a Quooker boiling water tap for genuine everyday convenience. A separate utility room keeps the laundry and everyday clutter out of sight, and the same wood flooring carries through the hallway, dining room and kitchen for a cohesive, easy-care finish.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double with its own bay window, and four further bedrooms and a study complete the first floor, giving the household room to spread out, work from home or accommodate guests. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower serves the main bedrooms, with an additional shower room providing welcome flexibility for a busy household.
A second staircase leads from bedroom two to a substantial playroom and an impressive games room set beneath the eaves, its dormer windows and exposed roof timbers giving the space real character. Whether used as a teenage den, home cinema, gym or additional home office, this top floor adds a genuinely useful extra dimension to the accommodation.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged around a pergola-covered terrace, an inviting spot for entertaining or simply enjoying the garden through the warmer months. The tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to an integral garage.
Heathcote offers a rare combination of Edwardian character, genuine family space and a garden built for entertaining, an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers in one of Solihull's most sought-after villages.
Location
Bentley Heath is a quiet, leafy village within the Solihull green belt, tucked between its better-known neighbours of Knowle and Dorridge and within easy reach of the M42 and M40. Life here moves at a gentler pace, with quiet lanes for dog walks, a strong village school and a genuine sense of community, all within easy striking distance of Solihull town centre and Birmingham beyond.
St George and St Teresa Catholic Primary School sits directly on Mill Lane, with Bentley Heath Church of England Primary School also within the village; both feed into Arden Academy in neighbouring Knowle, an Outstanding-rated secondary that draws families to the area. For day-to-day shopping, Knowle's high street and the St John's Way shopping centre offer a supermarket and a good range of independent shops and cafes, while Dorridge's Station Road adds further boutiques and places to eat. The local 608 Vets branch on Widney Road and Dorridge Surgery cover everyday pet and medical needs close to home.
For trains, Dorridge station is close by, with fast and frequent Chiltern Railways services into Birmingham Snow Hill and Moor Street in around 15 to 20 minutes, and direct trains to London Marylebone in around 1 hour 30 minutes, making this a genuinely practical base for commuters. At weekends, the National Trust's moated manor house at Baddesley Clinton is a short drive away, along with the wider Warwickshire countryside for walking and cycling.
