Set on a large corner plot in Harborne, this extended five-bedroom detached house offers generous family accommodation and clear development potential. The home has been newly renovated and features a high-spec kitchen/diner, three reception rooms and off-street parking — ready for comfortable everyday living and entertaining.
A pre-application has been submitted for an additional four-bedroom detached dwelling in the rear garden, making the plot attractive to families who want extra space or to buyers seeking a development opportunity. The corner position adds privacy and curb appeal, while fast broadband and good transport links keep the city centre within easy reach.
Practical details: the property currently has a single family bathroom and a downstairs WC, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed before 2002. The house sits on solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) typical of its 1900–1929 construction era — useful to consider for future energy improvements.
Notable negatives are factual: council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime levels are above average. Buyers should also note the pre-2002 glazing and likely uninsulated solid walls if energy efficiency is a priority. Overall, this is a spacious, well-presented family home with immediate liveability and realistic scope for future enhancement or redevelopment.
