This well-presented five-bedroom detached house in Locks Heath sits in a quiet three-house cul-de-sac, offering generous family accommodation across approximately 1,500 sq ft. The ground floor flows from a welcoming hall with solid wood flooring into a lounge with fireplace, conservatory, separate dining room and a modern kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and integrated appliances. Practical additions include a utility room, ground-floor cloakroom and underfloor heating across most of the ground floor.
Upstairs provides a galleried landing, a main bedroom with en-suite, a guest bedroom with en-suite and three further double bedrooms served by a modern four-piece family bathroom. Outside, the landscaped rear garden, raised deck, paved patio and summerhouse provide private outdoor living; a detached double garage with remote door and wide driveway offer strong parking and storage.

Notable positives include brand-standard broadband and excellent mobile signal, low local crime and a very affluent area. Buyers should note the council tax band is expensive. The property is largely turnkey but, as with many post-war homes, there is potential to reconfigure or extend subject to planning if additional living space or updated external landscaping is wanted.
Overall this is a roomy, comfortable family home in a desirable suburb with strong commuter links, good schools and low-maintenance outdoor space — suited to growing families seeking immediate occupation with scope to personalise.
