Set on a peaceful residential road in south Shirley, this 1930s detached home sits on a generous plot and offers strong family potential. The property retains period character — bay windows, brick exterior and good room proportions — while providing practical spaces including two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, utility and a sizeable garage.
The 106ft sunny rear garden and 19ft x 16ft garage are major family assets: plenty of outdoor space for children and scope to add side or rear extensions (subject to planning). Local schools include several Ofsted-rated Outstanding and Good primaries and secondaries within easy reach, and nearby amenities and transport links support everyday family life.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC rating is D and walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so improving energy efficiency will likely require work. There is one family bathroom plus a downstairs WC only, and council tax is described as expensive. These factors are reflected in the property’s refurbishment and updating potential rather than hidden defects.
For a growing family seeking period charm with scope to modernise, this freehold detached house presents immediate liveability combined with clear opportunities to add value through insulation, energy upgrades, bathroom reconfiguration, and possible extension.
