Summary - 175 WOOD LANE HANDSWORTH BIRMINGHAM B20 2AG
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Close to outstanding schools with garden, garage and extension potential.
Detached 1930s family home with three bedrooms
A traditional 1930s detached home on Wood Lane offering three bedrooms, a large through lounge and a dining kitchen — ideal for growing families seeking space and nearby schools. The property includes a garage, decent rear garden and scope to extend subject to planning permission, giving clear potential to increase living space or future value.
The house retains period character such as bay windows and a brick fireplace but requires modernisation throughout; dated decor, original solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and a single bathroom mean improvement works will be needed to bring the home up to contemporary standards. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed after 2002.
Location is a strong selling point for families: several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and local amenities and bus links are nearby. Practical considerations include driveway parking and a garage, side access, and an outdoor store with WC in the garden.
Buyers should note the wider context: the area has a high crime rate and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. The property is freehold, of average overall size (about 1,055 sq ft), and would suit purchasers prepared to invest in refurbishment or an extension to unlock its full potential.
