Set on a very large plot backing directly onto Merecroft Pool, this detached four-bedroom house offers immediate lakeside appeal and strong scope to add value. The property includes an integral garage, wide driveway and a sizeable rear garden with private pool access — a rare find in this part of Kings Norton.
The accommodation is spacious throughout with a through lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen plus utility, and three bathrooms including an en-suite. Warm air heating (mains gas) and double glazing are in place, but much of the interior reflects its 1950s–1960s construction era and would benefit from modernisation to maximise comfort and resale potential.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, no flood risk, and plentiful off-street parking. Note the property has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and the warm air system may not suit all buyers — both factors to consider for running costs or refurbishment plans.
Local amenities are strong with nearby green space, leisure facilities and good secondary schools (including a locally rated outstanding girls’ school). Council tax is high and local crime levels are above average, which some buyers will weigh against the rare waterside position and generous plot.
This house suits buyers seeking a spacious family home with lakeside character and clear renovation potential — an opportunity to redesign a substantial plot in a desirable, well-connected suburb.
