Description

This semi-detached family home presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Located in a desirable area, this residence is perfect for buyers who envision creating a personal living space tailored to modern needs. The ground floor features an inviting lounge with a charming bay window that enhances the natural light, while the second reception room, equipped with patio doors, offers seamless access to the garden. The kitchen comes with essential appliances including an oven, hob, and extractor fan. While functional as is, it holds considerable promise for modernization and reconfiguration. With planning permission, there's potential to open up the kitchen and side passage, transforming it into an attractive open-plan breakfast area ideal for gatherings. Additionally, there’s a converted garage currently serving as a storage room; this versatile space could be easily adapted into a TV room or playroom. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms, highlighted by a spacious principal bedroom. The family bathroom accommodates essential needs and complements the sleeping areas nicely. A bonus loft room on the second floor provides an ideal workspace or study retreat—a perfect feature for remote work circumstances. Outside, the driveway offers parking for two vehicles for added convenience. The rear garden requires some care but has great potential to become an appealing outdoor space where families can relax and enjoy warm summer days. Situated just a short walk from the new Parkgate shopping development featuring an ASDA superstore, this location benefits from accessibility to local amenities. Public transport options include regular bus services to Birmingham city centre along Stratford Road; nearby Solihull expands that range of services even further. For commuters, the M42 motorway is easily accessible along with Birmingham International Airport and Train Station within close proximity. Investors or families looking for a project will find this property compelling due to its inherent possibilities both inside and out. As always, buyers are encouraged to verify planning permissions and regulations prior to undertaking any renovations or constructions. This freehold property benefits from all mains services connected; however, it’s recommended that confirmations take place upon offer acceptance. It falls under Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council jurisdiction with a Council Tax Band of D. A thorough examination of its renovation potential makes this property worthy of consideration for those focused on investment or customization opportunities in a thriving community setting.
