This three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a solid foundation for renovation and investment, located in a desirable area of Birmingham. With a practical layout and spacious rooms enhanced by large picture windows, the property has been thoughtfully updated with modern electrics and gas systems, ensuring a reliable living environment right from the start. The exterior features a block-paved driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, alongside direct access to a garage. The front garden provides a welcoming green space bordered by sturdy brick walls, while the rear garden offers ample potential for enhancement. It features an initial patio area that transitions to a raised lawn, complete with pathway access to a back gate, all enclosed by fencing and hedges for added privacy. There is considerable scope here for landscaping or expansion projects, subject to planning permission. Upon entering, you are greeted by a porch leading into the entrance hall that includes convenient cloak storage. The ground floor comprises a generous living room with large windows that invite natural light and an adjoining dining room that opens into the fitted kitchen.

On the first floor, the layout consists of two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobe space and a comfortable single bedroom. A modern shower room completes this level. A versatile loft room accessed via ladder serves as additional living space or could be transformed into another bedroom if desired, benefiting from eaves storage and natural light through its skylight window. Conveniently situated approximately 1.3 miles from Bournville and 3 miles from Longbridge Shopping Centre, this location offers proximity to various amenities including schools, parks, restaurants, and transport links via local bus and train services. Major roadways such as the M5 and M42 are also easily accessible.
