The property is being sold with no onward chain. Option to buy fully furnished - details on request. This beautiful and luxurious family home is situated in the prestigious tree-lined, Four Oaks Estate in Sutton Coldfield on the edge of Birmingham. Originally the site of Four Oaks Hall, which was demolished in 1898, the area is protected with a covenant to ensure the Four Oaks Estate continues as one of the most attractive and highly desirable areas to live within the Midlands. This impressive home has undergone an extensive remodel by the renowned local firm Mercia Design & Build in collaboration with the talented Charlotte Conway Design and now offers in excess of 9000 sqft of living accommodation, set within approximately 1.4 acres of private, landscaped grounds. The property benefits from two separate driveways, both of which are accessed through electric gates. The current owners have added an impressive 2000 sqft of accommodation and have remodelled the internal layout so that it works for large and extended families and is perfect for entertaining and for modern living. The quality of the renovation, both inside and out is flawless and the materials and designer finishes are exquisite and luxurious. (Full designer specifications are available on request). The main house comprises 6 bedrooms with 5 en-suites, 2 walk-in dressing rooms, an impressive great room with lounge area, dining space and the gorgeous high-spec primary kitchen which has an expansive central island with built-in storage, seating area and finished with an elegant waterfall edge. To ensure the property was practical for modern living the owners incorporated a second kitchen, formal dining room, boot room, two further washrooms, dog shower, utility room and multiple other reception rooms. 7 sets of aluminium framed bifold doors were installed throughout the ground floor to ensure the property is flooded with as much natural light as possible, whilst also creating a wonderful connection to the wrap around gardens. Off the main house is a self-contained wing of the property with its own WC, which is currently setup with a gym on the ground floor and a games room on the first floor. These rooms are extremely versatile and could be used as an office space, hobby room, games room and additional bedroom if needed. Separate to the main house is a detached 3 bedroom cottage, with its own kitchen, lounge, bathroom and en-suite off the primary bedroom. The two separate driveways allow the cottage to be accessed without interrupting the main house, making it perfect for family members who want their own space, staff accommodation, offices or rental accommodation. At the rear of the estate is a generous triple garage which is fitted with remote electric doors and is spacious enough to fit 3 large cars. Directly above the triple garage is a self-contained annexe with bathroom which offers further accommodation. Since the start of the remodel the property has not been lived in, so everything is brand new. Want to know more?

Historically, the property was occupied by the estate manager who was responsible for overseeing the extensive grounds and operations of Clifton Hall, the ancestral home of the Clifton family.

Introduction Overcrag is a detached property arranged over two floors, covering 2,965 square feet. Although the property is generally in good condition, it would benefit from reconfiguration to maximise its location and align with contemporary coastal home design trends. This is an opportunity to fully embrace the stunning views and exceptional location. Seller’s Story When the chance to purchase Overcrag arose in 2014, we knew it was meant to be our home. Already residing on Rock End, we were aware that few properties offer such a dramatic position with uninterrupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years, we have made enhancements to meet our needs. However, with a house like this, it is the plot that stands out, and a new owner might wish to redesign it according to their own preferences. In our view, the location is unparalleled in Torbay. We relish the outstanding views and the convenience of being just minutes' walk from restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, and Meadfoot Beach. The Inside The property’s entrance opens into a welcoming hallway. Bedrooms on either side offer potential for repurposing, such as transforming them into a study or hobby room. Continuing down the hallway, you’ll find an inner hall providing access to two guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, as well as an additional shower room. Opposite the entrance hall, double doors open into the kitchen breakfast room. This ‘L’-shaped space extends into the garden room and living room. There is also a door leading to the double garage and storage area. The sun room capitalises on the panoramic bay views, featuring windows that span from side to side and French doors opening to the garden. The spectacular view from here could be further integrated into the current layout. The sun room seamlessly connects to the sitting room, which has a door leading back to the entrance hall. The living room is a spacious area currently used as a home gym, offering magnificent views of the sea. The first floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, which makes the most of the views and includes an en-suite bathroom. The Outside At the front of the property, there is a generous parking area with access to the rear on one side. Additionally, there is a large raised flower bed and a double garage. The rear garden is designed over two levels, focusing on the view. The upper tier, accessible directly from the sun room, features a resin surface and a small lawn area. Steps lead down to the lower level, which includes a small greenhouse and a private gate leading onto the South West Coast Path. Location As a UNESCO Global Geopark, Torbay is a paradise for those who love the water and coastal living. With Torquay Marina less than a mile away, this location is perfect for boat enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys a seaside lifestyle. Torquay offers a variety of dining options, including the Michelin-starred ‘The Elephant’ by Simon Hulstone, just a short walk from the property, as well as numerous bars and coffee shops. From Torquay, you can easily explore the rest of Torbay and the South Hams, where more award-winning beaches and breathtaking scenery await.
