Summary - 8 Lightwood Close, Knowle B93 9LS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Corner plot with south garden and excellent school catchment.
Extended five-bedroom detached on a corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac
Set on a generous corner plot in a quiet Knowle cul-de-sac, this extended five-bedroom home suits growing families seeking space and good schools. The house offers flexible living with a dual-aspect lounge, separate dining area, breakfast kitchen, utility room and an en‑suite to the principal bedroom.
Practical benefits include a south-facing rear garden, attached single garage, covered carport and wide block‑paved driveway for multiple cars. The property falls within the Arden Academy catchment and is within walking distance of Knowle village amenities, making daily life convenient.
The house was built in the late 1960s–70s and shows mid‑period character with double glazing added after 2002. There is clear potential for modernisation or limited extension (STPP) to increase value, but buyers should allow budget for updating the heating/comfort and energy performance.
Notable negatives are factual: the EPC is rated D, external walls are cavity with assumed no insulation, and council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a substantial family home with scope to personalise and improve, ideally suited to buyers wanting space, a good school catchment and commuter links.
