Period character, large garden and garage in the heart of Bournville — scope to extend.
Victorian semi-detached on large plot in Bournville conservation area
A handsome Victorian semi-detached home set on a large plot in the conservation area of Bournville Village Trust. The house offers traditional character — bay window, high ceilings and separate reception rooms — together with a long, well-stocked rear garden, garage and driveway. With no upward chain and long-term single ownership, it’s ready for a new family to make it their own.
The property is practical as it stands: an extended kitchen, ground-floor WC, lean-to utility and two brick stores support everyday living. Three good-sized bedrooms (one with a dressing area) and a modern shower room provide comfortable family accommodation. The garden is a key asset and offers scope for landscaping or a sympathetic extension (subject to BVT and local authority approvals).
Buyers should note the home's age and construction: solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, mixed glazing (double glazing installed before 2002 with some single-glazed units) and electric storage heating. The EPC is band D. These factors, along with the need to secure any extension permissions from Bournville Village Trust, are practical considerations for those planning energy upgrades or major renovation work.
This location suits families and commuters attracted to excellent local schools, nearby parks, Bournville train station and easy access to the University of Birmingham and local hospitals. For buyers seeking period character on a substantial plot with genuine potential, this house presents clear opportunities; for those wanting a turnkey, high-efficiency home, some updating will be required.
