79 Westfield Road is a superb, detached family home, originally designed by the renowned architects Douglas D. Tanner and Arthur L. Hosburgh and offers classic Art Deco white painted elevations set beneath a concealed roof with a double storey bay window to the front facade.
The house is set well back in its plot, entered through a secure gated entrance leading to the generous parking area and large carport and garage, and with a delightful south-facing terrace and private garden area located to the front aspect.
The well-proportioned and well laid out accommodation is all set out over two floors, with 3 south facing reception rooms, 5 excellent bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms (2 en suite) and extends to some 3,414 sq.ft. The house, which enjoys high levels of natural light, is ideally suited for family occupation and entertaining purposes, and was formerly granted (now lapsed) planning permission by Birmingham City Council (dated 16th February 2017; Application number 2017/00410/PA.) for the erection of first floor, side, and rear extensions, to add a further 2 bedrooms, bathroom and living room to the first floor, which could then potentially create a useful annexe/guest suite.
Double timber doors open into the impressive central reception hall, with a tiled floor providing access to the principal reception rooms. There is a more recently installed modern lift in addition to the main staircase, which is flanked by decorative geometric walls that are indicative of the Art Deco period.
A cloakroom with a boot/shoe room off, leads through to the rear hall/utility room, with plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer, sauna, and shower cubicle.
The front sitting room faces south and east, enjoying an attractive outlook over the front gardens, and with the feature of a central fireplace with Adams style surround, marble slips and hearth.
The principal drawing room has a fine south facing aspect over the front gardens with access out onto the terrace, and a large bay window providing ample levels of natural light. Bi fold timber doors link though to the spacious triple aspect dining room, with a fitted bar, double glazed door to the front south facing terrace, and French doors opening out onto the rear gardens.
The fitted kitchen/breakfast room is perfectly suited for modern-day living, with a designated breakfast area, and double-glazed French doors giving access out onto the rear terrace. The kitchen area has a tiled floor and is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units, ample worktops, one and a half bowl sink unit with a waste disposal unit, and a breakfast bar on the island unit. There are a range of built in quality appliances, to include Miele 5 ring gas hob, Siemens double oven and grill, a separate microwave, Samsung American style fridge freezer and a Bosh integrated dishwasher. Access doors lead through to both the reception hall and drawing room.
Double entrance gates open onto the secure front drive, providing parking for several cars and giving access to the car port (with parking for up to 4 cars) and which in turn leads through to a garage.
There is an extensive south facing seating terrace directly to the front of the house which enjoys a delightful and private aspect overlooking the gardens, providing an excellent alfresco entertaining area, and which can also be accessed from the drawing and dining rooms of the house. To the back of the property is a further paved seating terrace, with central steps and pathway, flanked by lawns, and leading down to the rear boundary fence. The house and gardens in total extend to around 0.42 acres.
