Summary
Formerly a three bedroom home (currently comprising two double bedrooms - one with a dressing room), this great property boasts spacious accommodation including a refurbished kitchen and bathroom, potential to extend (subject to necessary planning permissions) as well as a gate from the rear garden providing direct access to the Worcester and Birmingham canal towpath. The property is located just a short distance from village amenities, popular schooling and train station as well as a stone's throw from popular country walks and village gem 'The Crown Inn'.

The tiered rear garden features a large patio area and steps ascending through planted beds to a split level lawn with a shed. A gate at the bottom of the garden provides direct access onto the towpath of the Worcester and Birmingham canal - renowned for a splendid 30 mile walk ending at Gas Street Basin in central Birmingham.
The block paved driveway offers tandem parking for two vehicles and the up and over garage door provides access to the outside store. The drive could be opened up further to create further parking space.
Location
The residence is situated approximately 0.5 miles from the centre of Alvechurch, conveniently located for Crown Meadow first school and Alvechurch C of E middle school as well as shopping and eating facilities within the village centre, easy motorway access, main bus route, popular country walks and railway station (0.7 miles away). Also, nearby are the facilities offered by both Barnt Green village (1.3 miles) and Redditch (4.4 miles).
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal connected the Black Country to the sea by providing a link to the River Severn, opening trade routes to the world. The canal bustled with barges carrying freight in and out night and day. Nowadays tourist boats keep the canals busy. The route is also well renowned with walkers. The route is 30 miles long (recommended over two days) and has a total of 58 locks including the 30 Tardebigge Locks, one of the largest lock flights in Europe.
