House For Sale £170,000
The property
Approach
This wonderfully presented family home in the Erdington area of Birmingham will delight all viewers, particularly first-time buyers and young families. Immediately noticeable is the outdoor space, as the property has been built in an angled fashion on a generous corner plot that allows scope for extension (subject to planning). At present this means there is a large, gated driveway to the side of the property with a pleasant front garden and path that leads to the porch. The porch has plenty of space for guests to remove coats and shoes before moving through to the hallway.
Before beginning the interior, it’s worth noting that the electrics for the house have been recently refitted and the boiler was replaced in 2018. All windows in the property are double-glazed.
Ground Floor
The hallway is a short space with a carpeted staircase ahead leading to the first floor and door to the right for the lounge. As mentioned above, the presentation is magnificent and the lounge is the first example of this. The tasteful décor perfectly suits this room as there is a delightful bay window to the front and feature gas fireplace to the right. The new owners have plenty of space to include a sofa suite and a small dining table if they desire. To the rear of the lounge is a door through to the kitchen, with a handy understairs storage cupboard adjacent.
The kitchen is a lovely modern suite with wood-effect unit frontages with contrasting dark roll-top work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, electric oven and four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor fan. There is a space for a tall fridge freezer and under-counter space with plumbing for a washing machine. To the rear is an exit door to the rear patio and to the right is a door through to a delightful family bathroom.
The bathroom is very impressive. It features a bathtub at the far end of the room with a tall, curved shower cubicle at the front and a wash basin and toilet in between. A large, obscured window at the rear provides natural light.
First Floor
The landing area, although short, is lovely and wide and provides a lovely spot for a piece of furniture or plant, as depicted in the photos. The window to the side provides natural light and, due to the bathroom being downstairs, viewers have the option of taking one of three doors to the generous bedrooms. To the front of the house is a very impressive double room that features built-in, slide mirror door wardrobes to the right of the room and a recess beyond the stairwell to the left that makes for an excellent study or dressing area. There is also a handy storage cupboard above the stairwell.
The remaining two bedrooms are of a fantastic size, especially the second bedroom which has the size and presentation of a master bedroom. Within the third bedroom there is a large, pull-down loft hatch with ladder to access the loft which is three-quarter board for further storage.
Outside
The house comes with a sensational, private outdoor space that begins from the rear door with a block-paved patio area that is laid along the rear to provide a smaller seating option before wrapping round to an outstanding entertaining area. This area is also block-paved and features a slate border and wooden shed. There is a secure gate leading to the driveway and front of the house for easy removal of garden and household waste, whilst also making it ideal for guests during summer events.
To the rear of the garden is a fenced lawn that is very private with attractive trees and shrubs to the borders and tall wooden fence to the boundaries.
Nb - room sizes are shown at the bottom of the page.
Transport links
The property is roughly a ten minute drive to Spaghetti Junction, which is ideal for journeys to central Birmingham via the Aston Expressway as well as routes away to Walsall, Wolverhampton and Coventry. There are also many local routes and shortcuts to places such as Sutton Coldfield, Erdington centre and Aston.
The nearest train station is Erdington Railway Station which lies on the Cross City Line and runs services to Birmingham New Street, University, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Redditch.
Bus users will be delighted that the nearest closest services run from The Ridgeway to Birmingham City Centre and Perry Common. A walk to another nearby street, Gipsy Lane, has stops with services to the Fort Shopping Park

A short walk from the property is the delightful Witton Lakes Park which is perfect for getting that regular exercise and dog walking. There is a handy convenience store close to the property on nearby Brookvale Road.
