Set well back from the road, this detached three-bedroom dormer-style home offers genuine family space across two floors and a very large rear garden. Ground-floor living is flexible: a generous lounge with dual patio doors, a sizeable fitted kitchen with central island, and a large downstairs double bedroom with an ensuite. Practical extras include an internal-access double garage, off-street parking and side access to the garden.
The layout suits families who need flow between indoor and outdoor space — the paved patio, lawn and pond provide scope for children’s play, vegetable beds or landscaping. Upstairs has two further double bedrooms with built-in storage and a family bathroom; eaves storage adds useful loft space. The property’s footprint and plot size create potential to reconfigure or modernise (open-plan kitchen/diner, updated bathrooms) to increase value and usability.
Buyers should note some clear drawbacks: the surrounding area has higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Internally there are signs of dated decor and some plaster damage that will require cosmetic attention. The driveway is partially shared, which may affect privacy and access arrangements.
For families seeking space near Kings Norton and Longbridge retail park, with easy motorway links, this freehold detached house offers a large, private garden and strong scope for improvement. Budget for modernisation and consider security measures given the local crime profile to make the most of the home’s size and location.
