Description
Nestled in a prime location within walking distance of Solihull train station and the vibrant town centre, this charming 4-bedroom detached property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a home with plenty of potential. Although it would benefit from modernisation throughout, it offers a wealth of features that make it an ideal investment for a growing family or those looking to create their dream home. With a large driveway, a substantial garage, and a generous south-facing garden, there’s scope to extend the property, subject to planning permission (STPP), making this a truly exciting opportunity in a highly desirable area.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway that flows seamlessly into the home’s various living spaces. The front of the property features a cosy sitting room on the left, ideal for relaxing or as a family gathering space. This room offers plenty of natural light and overlooks the front garden.
To the rear of the house, you’ll find a generously proportioned lounge, which enjoys views of the southerly-facing garden. This room has significant potential to be transformed into an inviting space for entertaining or unwinding. Its position at the rear allows for the possibility of incorporating bi-fold doors, which could open up onto the garden, further enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen/diner, also located at the rear, offers an expansive space that could be remodelled to create a modern, open-plan kitchen with a dining area perfect for family meals. There’s also direct access to the garden, ideal for alfresco dining or summer barbecues. With the kitchen providing access to a store room and the large garage, this area offers excellent scope for a more integrated and functional layout. The garage is large enough to be converted into additional living space or a home office, making it perfect for modern-day needs.
Moving upstairs, the property offers four well-sized bedrooms, all benefiting from ample natural light and good proportion. The family bathroom, while functional, is another area that would benefit from modernisation. There is ample space to upgrade to a contemporary family bathroom with a bath, separate shower, and stylish fixtures to suit modern tastes.
One of the standout features of this property is the southerly-facing garden, which enjoys sunlight throughout the day. The garden is of a generous size, offering a fantastic space for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the sunshine. For those with green fingers, the garden provides plenty of opportunities for landscaping, while families will appreciate the abundant space for children to play. With some creative landscaping, this space could become a tranquil retreat or a lively entertainment area.
At the front of the property, the large driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, making it ideal for a busy family with multiple cars. The spacious garage adds further value, offering parking or the potential for conversion, whether you’re looking to expand the living space or create a workshop or hobby room.
