This extended three-bedroom Edwardian semi offers a blend of original character and flexible modern living in Selly Park/Stirchley. The ground-floor extension creates a self-contained bedroom with en-suite, ideal for guests, multigenerational living or a studio, while the open-plan living and dining room opens onto a mature, private garden with a Wi‑Fi-enabled garden office. A loft room with rooflights provides extra space for storage or occasional use.
The house retains period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and decorative fireplaces, combined with practical updates including a fitted kitchen and a Worcester Bosch boiler serving radiators. Solid brick walls (original construction) and double glazing are in place, but the property likely lacks cavity wall insulation and the loft is accessed by a pull-down ladder rather than a permanent staircase — factors to consider if you plan further energy upgrades.
Positioned on a tree-lined road with good access to Stirchley high street, nearby train stations and highly regarded local schools, the location suits buyers wanting strong commuter links and school options. The property is freehold with relatively low council tax, a decent plot and an established garden — a comfortable, characterful home that will reward modest investment and careful updating.
Notable local context: the area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal but records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation; buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision.
