Set on a substantial, private plot backing onto open fields, this unusually large detached bungalow offers flexible family living across generous ground and lower-ground floors. The current floorplan provides six double bedrooms and six bathrooms, extensive reception space including a cinema room, and an enormous loft (circa 2,000 sq ft) with clear potential for conversion. The property could also be reconfigured as two separate residences if required, making it suitable for multi-generational living or rental income.
Finished in traditional brick with large windows and established landscaping, the house delivers immediate comfort with mains gas central heating, double glazing and practical utility and storage rooms. On the practical side there is a double garage, greenhouse and direct garden access from the lower-ground level — useful for families, hobbies or home business use. The village location gives quick rail links to Birmingham and easy road access to the M6 Toll/A38, while local shops, pubs and well-regarded primary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note sensible but important drawbacks: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and will need modernisation in places (kitchens, bathrooms and finishes) to meet contemporary tastes. Insulation appears to be partial and the EPC sits around category C, so further energy improvements are possible. Broadband speeds are described as slow in this listing, council tax sits in a high band and the overall scale of the property means maintenance and running costs will be significant.
For purchasers prioritising space, privacy and development potential this home is a rare find — especially for those wanting room to combine family living with separate accommodation or to add substantial loft accommodation. If you want a large, adaptable home in a peaceful village setting with scope to modernise and personalise, this property warrants an early inspection.
