Fairfield Lane, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, DY11

Set within the highly sought after area of Wolverley, this exceptional period home is a rare opportunity for those looking for a property with genuine individuality, charm and presence. From its gated driveway and mature boundary planting to the wealth of period detailing within, the property has an unmistakable sense of character that is increasingly difficult to find.

Stepping inside this detached family home, the entrance porch and hall oozes character, setting the tone for a home rich in period detail. There are three generously proportioned reception rooms, all benefiting from high ceilings and the elegant proportions associated with period architecture with the front reception room in particular with a breathtaking, hand crafted ceiling with exquisite and intricate detailing. The kitchen sits alongside a useful utility room, while a separate study provides an ideal space for home working or quiet retreat. The conversatory overlooks the garden providing a perfect place to enjoy the garden, and a further downstairs w.c. completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, together with a large family bathroom. The accommodation offers considerable flexibility for a growing family, guests or those wanting dedicated home-working space.

The mature gardens are a real highlight, with established trees, hedging and planting creating a private and peaceful backdrop to the home. The property's unusual corner position further enhances its sense of space and individuality.

The property also benefits from a previous planning application relating to a proposed construction of a two-bedroom bungalow located to the rear garden. The planning application has now lapsed; however, the previous proposals provide an interesting indication of the property's potential, subject of course to any future application and the relevant planning consents. Full application can be found on the Wyre Forest Planning portal, 22/0590/FUL.

Planning Permission
The property also benefits from a previous planning application (22/0590/FUL) for the construction of a detached two-bedroom bungalow within the rear garden. Although the application has now lapsed and would require a fresh planning application and the appropriate consents, the previously submitted drawings provide a useful indication of the site’s potential and the scale and form of development that was previously contemplated. The proposed bungalow was shown as a single-storey dwelling of approximately 89.3 sq m, arranged to provide two bedrooms, a bathroom and en-suite, together with an open-plan kitchen/dining area and separate lounge. The elevations indicate a relatively modest, traditional-style bungalow with a pitched roof and brick elevations, designed to sit within the rear portion of the garden. From a land and new homes perspective, this represents an interesting potential development opportunity, subject of course to matters such as access, amenity, overlooking, parking, layout and the relevant planning policies and consents applicable at the time of any future application. The full details and previously submitted plans can be viewed via the Wyre Forest District Council Planning Portal under application reference 22/0590/FUL.
