Set on a generous quarter-acre plot in a private, low-density close, this extended five-bedroom detached dormer bungalow offers substantial space and scope for a growing family. Mature rear gardens and a detached workshop provide outdoor privacy and significant potential for conversion or hobby use. The layout and footprint suit those seeking an executive-style home with large gardens but wanting to tailor interiors to their taste.
The property is a clear refurbishment project: internal modernisation, redecoration and likely mechanical updates are required. Double glazing is fitted (install date unknown) and heating is by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, but buyers should expect a full programme of works to bring the house up to contemporary standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Sale is by modern auction (subject to reserve). Buyers’ fees apply and the sale will follow auction terms and conditions — this is important for purchasers to note before committing. Practical constraints include very slow broadband and an above-average local crime rate; both may influence suitability for home-working or security-conscious buyers.
For families attracted to Dickens Heath and Solihull’s amenities, the location offers good local schools, nearby leisure facilities and straightforward road and rail links to Birmingham, the NEC and Birmingham Airport. The property will particularly suit buyers seeking a large plot and workshop potential who are prepared to undertake refurbishment to create a bespoke family home.
