Walsall Road, Sutton Coldfield, B74 4NH

Some houses are built to last. Others are built to love.

Since 1927, this house has only ever been home to two families. And when you walk through the door, it shows. Not in shiny, superficial ways—but in the sense of warmth, the thought behind each change, and the way the rooms still seem to hold the laughter of the children who once ran from room to room.

Welcome to 57 Walsall Road.

This isn’t just a four-bedroom semi-detached home. It’s the kind of place where life has unfolded slowly and beautifully. A home where the seasons have passed on the patio, Christmas trees have stood proudly in the bay window, and the kitchen has witnessed everything from school projects to birthday cakes.

The current owners bought the house in 1984, moving in as a young family with three little boys and big dreams. Over the years, as the family grew, so did the house. In 1990, the loft was converted to create a fourth bedroom. In 1998, the downstairs space was extended to allow for more open, social living. But through it all, the soul of the house remained—strong, welcoming, and full of heart.

Step through the front door and the sense of history is instant. The entrance hall sets the tone, wide and inviting. To your right, the front reception is a traditional bay-fronted room, filled with natural light and ideal for evenings spent together. It’s a room that feels like it’s hugged hundreds of storytimes, film nights, and catch-ups by the fire.

To the rear, the second reception room is part of the 1998 extension. With French doors that lead out to the south-facing garden, this space feels effortlessly connected to the outdoors. It’s calm, it’s comfortable, and it adapts to whatever you need it to be—a playroom, a reading spot, or a formal dining space.

Then comes the kitchen. Positioned alongside the extended living area, it’s a shaker-style kitchen with bi-fold doors that completely open up the space to the garden. The natural light pours in, making this room feel like the heartbeat of the home. It’s where toast is buttered on school mornings, wine is poured on Friday nights, and decisions both big and small have been made around the table. There’s also a dedicated dining area here—informal, easy, and full of memories.

Off the kitchen, there’s a useful utility space, a downstairs WC, and a side door leading to the garage, which sits adjacent to the house and offers great storage or workshop potential. It’s not integral, but it’s easy to access and incredibly handy.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms. Two are doubles with fitted wardrobes and have each hosted growing personalities—walls once covered in posters, shelves stacked with books and treasures. The third room, smaller in size, makes a perfect single bedroom, nursery, or office.

The main bathroom is generous, with both a bath and a separate shower. It’s practical, peaceful, and just the kind of space you’ll be glad to have during the morning rush.

The second floor is home to the loft-converted fourth bedroom. This was once the domain of the eldest son, and today it stands as a quiet, elevated retreat with treetop views and excellent space. Whether used as a main bedroom, a teen den, or a guest suite, it gives the home real flexibility.

Outside, the garden is a true sanctuary. South-facing and beautifully established, it’s a space that’s seen paddling pools, summer barbecues, early morning coffees, and lazy Sunday afternoons. There’s a patio for entertaining, a lawn that has been rolled across by little ones and lounged on by pets, and mature trees that rustle gently in the breeze. It’s private, peaceful, and loved.

And the location? One of the best.

You’re in the heart of B74—Four Oaks side of Walsall Road—within walking distance of outstanding schools. The family here sent their children to Four Oaks Primary, then on to Arthur Terry and Bishop Vesey Grammar. It’s a spot where education is excellent and friendships are lifelong.

Sutton Park is just a stroll away. Whether it’s dog walks, bike rides, lakeside coffees, or summer picnics, you’ll come to treasure how close you are to this incredible space. You can also walk to local favourites like The Four Oaks and The Crown for a pint or a Sunday roast, and nearby Mere Green offers a mix of cafés, shops, and everything you need day to day.

There are train stations at both Four Oaks and Butlers Lane, making commutes into Birmingham smooth and regular.

Now, with the children grown and their own stories to tell, the owners are relocating to the North East. It’s the next chapter for them—and the perfect chance for someone else to begin theirs.

This isn’t a show home. It’s a real home. Full of history, full of love, and full of promise.

Come and see it for yourself. You’ll feel it too.
