This three-bedroom, freehold property on Woodcock Lane is a traditional 1930s house offered chain-free and ready for renovation. The large plot includes a long rear garden, single garage and driveway, giving space for family living and potential extension subject to planning. Local schools, regular bus links and fast broadband make it practical for everyday family life and commuting into Birmingham.
Internally the layout includes a generous open-plan living/dining room with patio doors to the garden, a compact kitchen and three first-floor bedrooms. The property is heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but predates 2002. The solid brick walls likely have no added insulation, and the home shows dated fittings and wear consistent with properties of this age.
Key positives are the plot size, garage and the no-onward-chain sale; these suit a buyer wanting to refurbish and add value. Notable drawbacks: the house requires renovation throughout, has older glazing and presumed uninsulated solid walls, and contains a back-boiler arrangement in the living room fireplace. Buyers should budget for updating to modern standards, including electrical, insulation and cosmetic works.
Overall this property will appeal to families or investors seeking a roomy suburban home with scope to improve and extend. It offers a clear canvas in a well-connected Northfield location, but is best suited to purchasers prepared to undertake a renovation project.
