Summary - 172, Shawhurst Lane, Hollywood B47 5JR
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Roomy detached home with garage, garden and extension potential.
Two double bedrooms with large lounge diner
Set back from the road on Shawhurst Lane, this mid-20th-century detached home offers roomy accommodation and clear scope to add value. The large lounge‑diner, two double bedrooms and sensible footprint provide a comfortable starter home with scope for extension (subject to planning). A single garage and wide driveway give easy off-street parking, while a mature rear garden offers privacy and low-maintenance outdoor space.
The house is presented with dated mid-century fittings and décor, so buyers should expect cosmetic updating throughout. There is no confirmed external wall insulation and some systems (boiler, glazing install dates unknown) may require attention or replacement in time — this is reflected in the realistic price point for the B47 area. The property is freehold with no flood risk and sits in an area with very low crime and good transport links to Birmingham and the M42.
Location is a practical strongpoint: nearby shops, bus routes, and commuter rail stations at Wythall and Whitlocks End make daily travel straightforward. Good local schooling includes Coppice Primary and Woodrush High School within walking distance, appealing to young families. For buyers looking to increase living space, the sizeable plot and existing layout present genuine extension potential, subject to planning permission.
Overall, this detached two‑bed offers spacious rooms, solid bones and a private garden in a comfortable suburban neighbourhood. It suits first‑time buyers seeking a larger-than-average home with scope to personalise, small families wanting nearby schools, or investors planning refurbishment and reconfiguration to add value.
