Period detached home with large garden and garage — scope to modernise and add value.
Detached three‑bed family house with garage and off‑road parking
A substantial detached family home on Devonshire Road offering three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large rear garden — a rare combination for Handsworth Wood. The property benefits from off‑road parking, a garage and gas central heating with double glazing, making it comfortable from day one. The L‑shaped dining kitchen and bay‑fronted receptions provide practical living and entertaining space for a growing household.
Internally the layout suits family life: downstairs WC, upstairs bathroom and a separate shower cubicle, plus useful storage off the third bedroom and a boiler/utility area. The house sits on a large plot with scope to enhance the garden or extend (subject to consents). The Energy Performance Certificate shows a current D rating (around 58) with significant improvement potential to the low‑80s.
Important facts to note: the advertised internal floorspace is small (circa 315 sq ft recorded), so rooms are modest compared with the plot size. The area records above‑average crime and high local deprivation indices; buyers should check local services and security needs. The building dates from the mid‑20th century and will benefit from modernisation in places rather than a full refurbishment.
This home will suit families seeking external space, parking and school access close by, and buyers who want a period detached house they can personalise. Investors seeking a longer‑term opportunity to add value through energy upgrades, cosmetic updating or extensions will also find the plot and layout appealing.
