House For Sale £385,000
Summary
Just onto the market, 52 Blythesway is an early 1960s, highly desirable, freehold, residential property with attached garage, un-occupied and with no-chain, ideal as a family home or investment. The property is situated in a quiet, residential road in this popular, much-sought after, semi-rural village of Alvechurch on the south-western edge of the Birmingham metropolis.
Description
You enter via a lockable, covered porch into a downstairs of semi-open plan layout including a spacious, bay-fronted living room which is partly separated from the rear dining room by an interior wall with fire grate and open chimney flue – ideally located for installation of a potential solid fuel stove – and sliding patio door.
A compact, fitted kitchen with built-in gas oven and hob, and plumbing for washing machine is accessed off the rear dining room. An internal, glazed, kitchen door opens into a rear lobby, leading to a downstairs toilet, garage and side entrance.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and one single bedroom (all with built-in wardrobes) as well as a modern shower room with walk-in shower, WC and airing cupboard containing a gas-fired combi boiler supplying central heating radiators and hot water throughout as well as featuring double glazing.
A landing window, overlooking the garage, could facilitate the potential for an over-garage extension (subject to necessary planning consents, building regulations and foundations).
Outside
To the rear of the property, a large, glazed patio door opens onto an elevated, paved patio, overlooking a terraced, mature garden extending some 43 yards/42 metres to the boundary, with no rear pedestrian or road access – just over 1/10th of an acre, and with potential for log cabin construction.
A block paved area of hard-standing adjacent a small grass garden at the front facilitates off-road parking for two family-sized cars.
A paved passageway, with access door, along the side of the property, fenced, allows rear access.
Location
Although in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alvechurch boasts excellent transport links to the metropolis nearby, to beyond and indeed, abroad. It is situated 1 mile approx. by road to the Hopwood Junction, M42, allowing access, within minutes, to the national motorway network. Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International Train Station are a mere 25 minute drive for flights abroad and regular train services to Central London, respectively.
The new HS2 high speed railway (already under construction in Birmingham) will, when operational, reduce transport times from Central Birmingham to London Euston to under 1 hour, and from the HS2 Birmingham Interchange Station (currently under construction) in nearby Solihull to London Euston in just 37 minutes. A local commuter train service with trains to and from Alvechurch to Birmingham New Street Station depart every 20-30 minutes, from 0600 to 2330 hours, seven days per week. A local bus service also operates and includes Blythesway on it’s scheduled route; and lying on the route of the Birmingham-Worcester canal, canalboats are available to hire in Alvechurch marinas for travel to either destination, and towpaths allow for walking, running, cycling and dogwalking.
The village itself has all necessary amenities including, local shops, bars, cafes/restaurants, a GP surgery and pharmacy.
A particular attraction, especially for the young family, is the very popular and annually oversubscribed Alvechurch Church of England Middle School, in the heart of the village, that also houses the local Worcestershire Public Library.
