THE PROPERTY

This is a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to purchase a great-sized family home with No Upward Chain. The current owner has lived in the property for nearly forty years and therefore it will make a fantastic home for the next owner. As shown in the main photo, the property includes a single garage approached by a long block-paved driveway for at least three cars. The garage is attached to the right-hand side of the house, however, there is also a huge detached garage to the rear that is accessed from a communal gated service road to the rear. The detached garage has a height of 8’8 and therefore is ideal to be used as a workshop or for those operating a business from home.

The house is entered at the front via a short porch for removing coats and shoes before entering into the lounge. Originally the house had an enclosed hallway. The owner rightly decided to remove the wall to open it through to lounge to create a large reception space before also opening the dining room to create a large open plan, double reception room. The lounge features a lovely bay window and open fireplace whereas the dining room has sliding patio doors that give an excellent view of the rear garden.

From the dining room there is a doorway through to a long kitchen with fitted units and window to the right wall. The units feature an integrated four-burner gas hob, electric oven and a retractable overhead extractor fan. There is also a set of tall, deep units that are designed to conceal a fridge and freezer. Viewers will also note that there is an abundance of power points. To the far end of the kitchen, the room widens to provide a neat breakfast area with an exit door to the left for the garden patio.

Moving upstairs, the first floor features a landing area with doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. We have considered the rear bedroom to be the master as it has the best view of the long rear garden and is a rectangular space. The bedroom immediately in front, bedroom two, is a longer bedroom and features the chimney breast continued from the lounge. The third bedroom is a decent single bedroom feature the staircase bulkhead that works well for open storage.

The family bathroom is a delightful modern suite. Featuring fully tiled walls, the suite includes a P-shaped bathtub with fitted shower and screen, wash hand basin and toilet. To the front of the room is a cupboard that houses the Worcester combi-boiler which has been recently fitted; further good news for the buyer.

Finishing at the rear, the house is perfectly complemented by a very long rear garden. The majority of the garden is covered by lawn with shrubs and trees to the borders and wooden fence to the boundaries. The garden begins from the house with a slabbed patio that has plenty of space for an outdoor furniture set. To the right of the patio is a door to access the rear of the attached garage. A wooden shed is positioned behind the garage. To the far end of the garden is the tall detached garage/workshop and a secure gate to access the rear service road.

TRANSPORT LINKS

Commuters will be absolutely delighted with the location of this home as it lies a short drive away from many major roads. These lead towards destinations such as Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield, as well as the well-known ‘Scott Arms Junction’ of the M6 (J7) which has an immediate link to the M5.

As with much of Birmingham there is a regular local bus service to the City, including the Bull Ring shopping centre and the famous Birmingham New Street Station. Other destinations include Walsall, central Great Barr and Small Heath.

The nearest train station is Hamstead Railway Station, which is either a 1.3 mile walk, or a 2.3 mile drive. Perry Barr station takes just as quick to get to in the car even being further away. Both stations operate along the Chase Line with services to Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Rugeley.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

For secondary schools the Arena/Perry Beeches Academy is slightly over half a mile from this home, the same distance as the nearest primary schools, Beeches Infant & Junior School and is therefore all are well within walking distance. As with all properties, we still recommend that parents check with the local authority before confirming catchment.

Many local independent and well-known stores are found at various junctions in the local area, with the closest being a row of independent stores and food outlets opposite the home, further along Thornbridge Avenue. The property is well placed for supermarkets with a huge Asda supermarket at Queslett. Other main brand supermarkets are also within decent driving range, as well as the One Stop Shopping Centre (Retail Park) in Perry Barr.
