This substantial four-bedroom detached period home on Belvidere Road combines original character with generous family space in a conservation area. Bay windows, ornate coving, stained-glass details and multiple reception rooms create appealing living areas while a large open-plan dining/kitchen and separate sitting room suit modern family life and entertaining.
The house sits on a decent plot with off-street parking, a landscaped rear garden with patio, decking and shed, and good local schools within easy reach. Transport links are convenient for the M6 and wider West Midlands, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and connectivity.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the area records very high crime and high deprivation locally, and Council Tax is expensive (Band F). The property is a traditional solid-brick build likely without cavity insulation and has only partial double glazing, so prospective buyers should budget for energy-efficiency and maintenance works. Built before 1900, it will require careful surveying to check services and historic fabric.
This home will suit an established family seeking character, space and a conservation-area address, or a buyer prepared to invest in upgrading insulation and glazing to improve comfort and running costs. A full inspection and professional survey are recommended to confirm condition and running costs.
