A substantial five-double-bedroom Edwardian family home set on a large plot in sought-after Edgbaston. The house retains attractive period features — high ceilings, bay windows and original cornicing — and offers generous reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen and useful ancillary space including a utility and ground-floor WC. The rear garden and sizeable workshop add practical space and scope for hobby, home-business or conversion (subject to consents).
Practical positives include a wide block-paved driveway, single garage, mechanical heat recovery and ventilation system, double glazing, mains gas central heating and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, which suits buyers wanting a quicker move.
Buyers should note the house dates from the 1920s and, while well-proportioned, will benefit from updating in places to meet modern standards — examples include likely wall insulation upgrades and general modernisation of finishes and services. Council Tax is above average. The immediate area shows above-average crime and higher deprivation indices locally; purchasers should consider neighbourhood factors alongside the strong local transport links to the city centre, universities and hospitals.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with clear potential for refurbishment or reconfiguration to increase value. It will suit purchasers seeking space, parking and outbuilding utility, and those prepared to invest to modernise rather than buyers looking for a fully turn-key property.
