This spacious six-bedroom detached house on Portland Road offers over 2,700 sq ft of flexible living, ideal for large families or buy-to-let investors. Ground floor marble flooring and a large open-plan kitchen with granite worktops create an immediate sense of quality, while three reception rooms and multiple utility spaces support multi-generational living.
The left wing presents clear potential for a self-contained apartment with a separate kitchen and bathroom already in place—suitable for rental income or extended family. Outdoors, the large rear garden includes a timber pergola, built-in brick barbecue, mature landscaping, vegetable patch and a substantial brick outbuilding for storage or workshop use.
Practical features include an integral garage with electric shutter, gated in-and-out driveway with ample parking, double glazing and gas central heating. Transport links, access to Edgbaston Reservoir and proximity to major hospitals add everyday convenience.
Important considerations: the surrounding area scores higher for crime and shows local deprivation indicators, and council tax is above average. Several nearby schools have mixed Ofsted ratings, so buyers prioritising top-performing local schools should check each school's current status. The property is freehold and built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, so periodic maintenance and updating may be required to modernise some elements.
