Set on a generous plot in sought-after Kings Heath, this 1930s detached family home balances period character with practical outdoor space. The bay-front façade, stained glass details and Arts-and-Crafts wood panelling give genuine charm, while a garage and driveway add everyday convenience.
Inside are four bedrooms and living areas arranged over two storeys within a compact 957 sq ft footprint. The kitchen, utility room and downstairs WC serve the ground floor; upstairs provides a shower room plus a separate WC. The layout suits families seeking bedrooms and garden space but who are happy to live with a single main bathroom.
Buyers should note this house dates from 1900–1929 and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading heating efficiency and insulation would be advisable. The property presents clear refurbishment potential — modernising services, adding insulation and refreshing finishes would increase comfort and long-term value.
Location is a strong asset: a short walk to Kings Heath High Street amenities, frequent buses into Birmingham and Solihull, plus the forthcoming Kings Heath station. Local schools include several highly rated primaries and outstanding secondaries, making the area appealing to families. Broadband is fast and there is no flood risk.
In summary, this freehold detached home will suit a family seeking period character, garden space and proximity to schools and local amenities, and who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation.
