Four-bedroom detached family home on a decent plot
This four-bedroom detached house in Rectory Gardens, Alvechurch, offers comfortable family living in an affluent village setting. The layout includes a bright living room with a bay window, a kitchen/diner that opens onto a rear garden and patio, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite. The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking and a modern garage—part of which has been converted into a useful office/playroom with utility and guest WC.
The home is practical for everyday family life: boiler and radiator heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby good and outstanding schools, and low council tax. The living spaces and bedrooms are average to medium sized across 1,346 sq ft and an approximate 11 rooms, making it suitable for families wanting comfortable room proportions without oversized maintenance.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The rear portion of the garage has been converted, reducing secure vehicle storage; check whether any works affect planning or insurance. The local area is classified as ageing rural neighbourhoods within a detached rural retirement zone and the crime level for the immediate area is reported as high, which may concern some purchasers. There is no flooding risk and the property is freehold.
Overall, this house will suit families or professionals seeking a modern, village home with good connectivity and outdoor space. It presents a straightforward, well-equipped base with some trade-offs to consider around garage loss and local crime statistics — a viewing will best show how the accommodation meets your needs.
