Described as the ‘premier residential address of the Midlands’, Grange Park boasts a unique layout surrounding an historic house and its grounds, once belonging to Lord Austin.
This delightful property boasts an impressive range of accommodation. Its stylish décor and seamlessly flowing layout make it a truly exceptional family home.
There is an inviting entrance hallway, a spacious living room, a formal dining room, a modern kitchen, a reception room and a convenient cloakroom situated on the ground floor. Upstairs, a central landing grants access to a well-appointed family bathroom and four double bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite.
Outside, there is a large, secured garden with multiple patio areas ideal for alfresco dining, a lawned area and a shed. To the front there is a large driveway with a lawned area to the side.
Even though the driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, there are a block of garages near the entrance of the estate, with one reserved for this house.

Hallway
Upon entering through the front door, you will find yourself in an inviting entrance hallway adorned with high-quality wooden flooring. There is a useful storage cupboard and a staircase ascending to the first floor. The hallway has doors granting access to various rooms on the ground floor. To the left of the hallway, double doors lead you into the stunningly spacious living room.
