Set on a roomy plot in the established Park Farm area of Great Barr, this three-bedroom detached home offers immediate living space with clear potential to extend (subject to planning). The property has been well cared for but is dated in places, giving incoming buyers a solid base to modernise and personalise. Its expansive frontage and recently laid tarmac driveway provide generous off-street parking for several cars.
Inside, the layout suits family life: a bay-fronted living room, a kitchen-diner that opens to a south-facing rear garden, and three upstairs bedrooms. The attached garage offers extra storage or utility space and has water/waste connections. Council tax is described as affordable, and broadband and mobile signals are strong—practical for homeworking and everyday connectivity.
Important practical notes: the house was built mid-20th century with solid brick walls and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; double glazing is present but installation age is unknown. The property is chain-free and needs renovation to bring finishes and systems up to modern standards. There is a single shower room, so families should consider whether an additional bathroom is required.
For buyers looking for a family home with scope to add value, this plot and layout are attractive. Its location close to several ‘Good’ local primary and secondary schools, buses and local shops makes it convenient for everyday life. Buyers seeking a move-in-perfect, fully modernised finish should expect to budget for updates; those looking to refurbish or extend will find a well-positioned opportunity.
