4 bed 2 bath Detached

Extensive rear gardens with summerhouse, shed and reservoir views
Four bedrooms plus two attic rooms; flexible family accommodation

High local crime rate and area deprivation are notable considerations

Set back behind a gated driveway, this substantial detached family home occupies a large plot with extensive rear gardens and direct reservoir views. The house offers generous principal rooms, two reception spaces, a breakfast kitchen and practical ground-floor cloakroom — arrangements that suit a growing family or multi-generational household. Two attic rooms add flexible accommodation for hobbies, home working or guest space.
The plot is a major asset: multiple paved seating areas, lawns, established planting, fruit trees, summerhouse and large shed create private outdoor living and strong scope for extension or redevelopment (subject to planning). There is also a garage and off-street parking for several cars.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The property sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators, and council tax is at the upper band (Band F). The building’s solid-brick construction is likely uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs and further upgrade work to improve thermal performance. Any further development would need planning consent.
For buyers seeking a substantial, characterful family house near Edgbaston Village and Harborne, this home combines space, location and development potential. It will particularly suit those prepared to invest in energy improvements or modest renovations to unlock long‑term value.
