A substantial 1930s detached family home set on a rare, west-facing plot of around 0.40 acre, offering almost 2,600 sq ft of flexible living space. The property features generous reception rooms, a conservatory, breakfast room, double garage and deep block-paved driveway with mature trees and hedging for privacy. Its large gardens and west aspect make it ideal for family outdoor life and potential landscaping.
The house is offered for buyers willing to modernise: many original mid-century fittings remain and the property needs renovation throughout. There is clear scope to update interiors, reconfigure layouts or extend (subject to planning consent) to create a contemporary family home while retaining period character.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and easy access to Harborne, Bearwood and central Birmingham. Notable drawbacks are the renovation requirement, likely costs associated with modernisation and refurbishment, and Council Tax Band G which is relatively expensive. Buyers should factor upgrade and running costs into their budgets.
This home will suit a growing family or buyer seeking a substantial plot with long-term potential. The combination of size, location in an affluent neighbourhood, and scope to personalise the property makes it a strong candidate for someone prepared to invest in improvement.
