This four-bedroom detached house on Dowles Close is a spacious family home set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Bournville. The house sits on a large plot with a mature, private rear garden and garage, giving room for children to play and for outdoor entertaining. Light-filled open-plan living areas and a separate utility add everyday flexibility for a busy household.
The property was constructed in the 1950–1966 era and retains a solid brick, cavity-wall build with double glazing (installation date unknown). That era and the property’s size mean there is scope to modernise parts of the home to personal taste and add value. The layout includes ground-floor living space, study/bedroom use, and a principal bedroom suite on the top floor with far-reaching views.
Location is a major strength: peaceful cul-de-sac setting, immediate access to mature Bournville parkland, and within easy reach of the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and local shops. Good broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming, while local crime levels are low.
Important practical points are clear: council tax is expensive and some elements — such as glazing age and overall interior finishes — may require updating. The house is freehold and has no flood risk, but prospective buyers should inspect for any period-related maintenance or heating system servicing needs before purchase.
