Tucked away at the head of a quiet and established close, 2 Rochester Close is a substantial and beautifully proportioned family home, constructed around the Millennium and remaining in the same ownership since new. Sitting as the predominant property within this small enclave, the house enjoys a peaceful position with no passing traffic, generous frontage and an excellent sense of privacy.

The property is approached via a wide block paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, complemented by a small lawned area, bin storage to the side and a large integral garage fitted with an electrically operated roller door.

A welcoming porch leads through to a central hallway where there is a downstairs WC, before double doors open into a generous family sitting room. This is a warm and comfortable space featuring a gas fireplace and a large front-facing window that allows plenty of natural light to flow in.

Also on the ground floor is a spacious dining room, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings, with double doors opening directly onto the rear patio. The heart of the home is the light and bright family kitchen, fitted with oak carcass units and doors, white granite work surfaces and a tiled floor. A large butler’s sink with mixer tap sits beneath windows overlooking the garden, while integrated appliances include a microwave, electric oven and separate Hobbs fridge and freezer.

Just off the kitchen is a useful breakfast area, as well as a practical utility room where the gas boiler is located and which offers space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Matching cupboards and work surfaces continue through, along with a further sink and a rear door providing direct access to the garden and patio.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous room and benefits from an ensuite shower room with hand wash basin and WC.

A striking oak staircase continues up to a well-executed attic conversion, where a fifth double bedroom and a large study are found. The study has the potential to be used as a sixth bedroom if required. All rooms on this level are served by Velux windows, providing excellent natural light and attractive elevated views across the surrounding treetops and rooftops of Redditch.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a real highlight, offering a high degree of privacy with a wide variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees. A large raised patio creates an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a side access gate allows full circumference access around the property.

The home also benefits from solar panels that help heat hot water, providing green energy for the house and there is the ability to charge an electric vehicle via installed chargers.
