Description

This detached four-bedroom house is offered with no upward chain and is described as requiring modernisation. The ground floor has a hallway, kitchen with a separate downstairs WC, and three reception rooms. One reception room was formerly an integral garage and has windows on two sides, while the rear lounge opens towards the garden through sliding patio doors. The kitchen and reception rooms provide scope for a buyer to update the interior to suit their needs. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and access to a boarded loft with eaves storage and a dormer window. Outside, the front is approached by a paved driveway. The rear garden includes a patio, lawn, mature planting and a detached garage accessed from the service road. The property is between Northfield and Longbridge, with local shops, schools, public transport and other amenities in both areas. The listing states an EPC rating of D. The sale is subject to the grant of probate, and the agent notes that title registration is being addressed; buyers should verify the tenure and legal position. Services, heating and appliances have not been tested.
