Set in a prominent corner position at the entrance to Victoria Close, this beautifully presented five-bedroom detached home in the heart of Locks Heath offers exceptional space and flexibility for modern family living. Thoughtfully extended in 2023, the property now boasts a stunning, enlarged kitchen complete with a central island, creating the perfect hub for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The home sits on a generous plot, with a wraparound lawned garden filled with mature planting and a tucked-away "secret garden" area, cleverly landscaped over the original culvert. The rear patio is raised, offering a sunny space for al fresco dining, and steps lead down to the driveway and garage. The block-paved driveway provides ample parking, while the detached double garage features an electric remote-controlled door and valuable roof storage. In addition to the 2023 extension, the property also benefits from newly installed double-glazed windows (2023) and a new gas combination boiler (2024), adding energy efficiency and peace of mind for the next owner. Inside, a spacious and welcoming hallway forms the centre of the home. To the front, a sleek white gloss kitchen has been recently refitted and includes integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, fridge & freezer, eye level double oven, and induction hob. Across the hall, the family room offers flexibility as a secondary reception space or dining room. The generous sitting room flows through to an open-plan dining/snug area and has direct access to the garden and utility room. The utility area provides further storage and leads to a modern downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs you’ll find four double bedrooms and a fifth single bedroom, currently used as a home office. The principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom impresses with its high vaulted, beamed ceiling. A well-appointed four-piece family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Located just a short walk from the Locks Heath Centre and Waitrose, and within walking distance of local schools, this property offers a brilliant balance of lifestyle, space, and convenience.
