Overview 

109 Hampton Lane is a substantial, thoughtfully extended, 5 bedroom, detached residence, originally built in the 1950’s, offering spacious, well-proportioned accommodation that would ideally suit an extended, or multi-generational family. Being set back on an impressively discreet, wide fronted, elevated plot on one of the borough’s most prestigious avenues, this imposing family home is most conveniently situated, being within walking distance of Solihull town centre, with its excellent range of local amenities and national and international travel links, which surely offers the very best of all worlds?! 

Solihull’s name is commonly thought to have derived from the position of its parish church, St Alphege, on a ‘soily’ hill. It is the most affluent town of the West Midlands, and one of the most affluent areas in the UK outside London.

The town is noted for its historic architecture, which includes surviving examples of timber framed Tudor style houses and shops. The historic Solihull School dates from 1560 (although not on its present site) and the aforementioned Grade 1 listed, red sandstone, parish church of St. Alphege, dates from a similar period and is a large and handsome example of English Gothic church architecture, with a traditional spire 168 feet high, making it visible from a great distance. 

Lying at the heart of the West Midlands motorway network, Solihull is one of the best-connected towns in the country. Bordered by the M6 and the M40 and split by the M42, which divides the urban centre of the borough from the rural south and east and being linked to European and global markets by Birmingham International Airport. It therefore has significant geographic and infrastructural advantages, being situated 7.5 miles southeast of Birmingham, 18 miles northwest of Warwick and 110 miles northwest of London. 

The town centre boasts a bustling high street and the enviable shopping and entertainment complex, Touchwood, containing multiple well known retail outlets, a huge variety of restaurants and bars and a multi-screen cinema showing the very latest releases. It also enjoys over 1,500 acres of green space including Elmdon, Malvern and Brueton parks, which offer plenty of family recreational facilities and ornamental gardens to walk in, to the wilder Babs Mill Local Nature Reserve with its lake, river and fishing areas.

Additionally, the borough benefits from a number of outstanding state schools, including Tudor Grange and Arden academies, as well as a variety of well-regarded independent schools, with the historic, ISI ‘excellent’ rated, Solihull School being one of the most highly respected within the country. 

Vendor Comments

Three generations of our family have lived in the house for over 20 years. We have enjoyed the property immensely and raised three children, however they are all now grown and moving on with their lives - one is engaged; one is at university; and the other is off to work in America. 

The oldest members of the household now struggle with stairs and are looking for an easier and slower pace of life, preferably without stairs and a very large garden to maintain. 

The house sits well back from the road behind gates and provides a tranquil spot for us all to enjoy. Once inside the boundary of the property you feel as though you are in the countryside but, with Solihull town centre only a mile away, you really do have the best of both worlds.
