Set on an unusually large 0.45-acre plot in central Solihull, this substantial mid‑century detached house offers immediate floor space and long‑term development potential. With five reception rooms and 2,701 sq ft of accommodation, the layout already suits a large family but also invites remodelling to create a single, modern family residence or subdivide living zones.
The property includes two double garages (one integral, one detached), an in‑and‑out driveway and a private mature rear garden that extends either side of the house. There is clear scope to extend the home further, subject to planning permission (STPP) — the plot size and position make sizeable lateral or rear additions realistic for buyers seeking extra bedrooms or ancillary accommodation.
The house requires renovation: the description notes general refurbishment needs, older construction (1967–75) with assumed cavity walls and no added insulation, and untested services. These factors present both cost and opportunity — budget for updating heating, electrics and finishes, but gain a large, centrally located lot once works are complete.
Practical considerations: the property is offered chain free and lies close to several well‑rated primary and secondary schools, making it attractive to families. Conversely, local crime statistics are unusually high for the area and Council Tax is at the upper band (Band G), so factor recurring costs and security improvements into any purchase plans.
