Set within a private gated development just off Dickens Heath Road, this refurbished four-bedroom detached property combines period character with contemporary living. The house extends to about 2,271 sq ft and offers an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bifold and French doors opening to a south-facing wrap-around garden. Two principal bedrooms have en-suites, there is a dedicated home office with an open fireplace, a snug, and useful utility and downstairs WC.
The plot includes a detached double garage and two forecourt parking spaces. The finish throughout is high specification and the development benefits from a 10-year new build warranty (ICW). The location is convenient for Dickens Heath village amenities, highly regarded local schools, and Whitlocks End station, making this practical for commuting to Birmingham, Solihull and the M42.
Notable practical points: the property is locally listed, which may restrict alterations and could cause delays or additional consent requirements. The exterior landscaping requires completion in places and some areas of the garden and forecourt need attention. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and local crime levels are above average — both matters buyers should factor into decision-making.
Overall, the house will suit families seeking generous flexible living space, characterful period features alongside modern fixtures, and the security of a gated development and warranty. Buyers wanting major external remodelling, fast broadband, or unrestricted change to the listed fabric should assess feasibility before offering.
