This extended 1930s semi-detached house sits on a large plot in a well-regarded Northfield location, close to popular primary and secondary schools. The property offers substantial family accommodation across about 1,426 sqft, including three reception rooms, a conservatory and up to five bedrooms — useful for growing families or multi-generation living.
The home has clear strengths: a generous rear garden with patio, pond, greenhouse and a further ‘wild’ area; off-street parking plus a garage with power and shelving; and an EPC rating of C. It also benefits from recent major roof work (retiled and felted in 2014) and excellent local transport links, with Northfield station around 0.4 miles away and easy road access to the M5/M42 corridors.
Important practical points: the house needs modernisation throughout, with solid brick walls (assumed without insulation) and dated internal finishes. There is a single shower room serving four/five bedrooms, and one upstairs bedroom is accessed via another — a potential layout limitation. The property sits in an area classed as deprived locally, and some renovation works (insulation, kitchen and bathroom updates, decorative repairs) should be budgeted for.
For families seeking space and scope, this is a characterful, period home with sizeable outdoor space and school catchments nearby, ready for an owner who wants to modernise to their taste. Investors or buyers looking for a turnkey house should note the renovation requirement and single bathroom when assessing suitability.
